Developing news on this friday morning. Former microsoft ceo steve balmer appears on the verge now of buying the l. A. Clippers. Anne makovec joins us now in the newsroom with details of the recordbreaking offer for the basketball team. Reporter frank, there are still some things to be worked out behind the scenes. But balmer has that money in hand and he is ready to buy. The tech world knows steve balmer as the former ceo of microsoft, the sports world knows him as a potential nba owner. He was part of a group that wanted to buy the Sacramento Kings and move the team to seattle but that deal fell through. Now balmer has signed a binding agreement to buy the l. A. Clippers for 2 billion telling the wall street journal earlier this month he wouldnt try to move the team. The deal was brokered by Shelly Sterling, who owns half the team, and it wont go through before clearing some red tape. The nbas board of governors will have to approve the sale and then theres donald sterling. The league is still in the process of terminating his ownership and his lawyer made it clear he doesnt want to let the team go. We dont think the team can be sold without mr. Sterlings consent. Mr. Sterling is not going to consent unless the nba does something about the scurrilous and illegal charges they filed against him and so far, we have heard nothing to indicate that will occur. Reporter so who has 2 billion just lying around . Apparently, balmer. He was the 24th employee microsoft ever hired and after stepping down as ceo three months ago, he still sits on the board. Balmer is also sitting on 20 billion in assets according to forbes in part because he is an even bigger shareholder in microsoft than bill gates. Meantime, the league is scheduled to meet about Donald Sterlings status on tuesday but a sale could delay that meeting. Frank . And it sounds like donald and Shelly Sterling are kind of going Different Directions here, right . Yeah. Shelly sterling says she is acting under her own authority as the sole trustee of the Sterling Family trust which of course owns the clippers. Well have more on Donald Sterlings fight in the next half hour. Live in the newsroom, anne makovec, kpix 5. People in oakland might have to dig a lot deeper to have their trash picked up.
