My money is on Donald making this all about freedom of speech and the fact that no private party can force another party to sell what legally belongs to them. I also bet that lifetime ban will go away under a restraint in trade law suit. When Donald bought the team my guess is there were no “provisions” that would preclude him making remarks that “may” be detrimental to the league or the franchise. With that in mind unless he agreed to abide IN WRITING to any provisions that the league sought to bring into their rules after the fact of him assuming ownership then the NBA had better stand by, they will lose on constitutional grounds.
