He's not going to do that. he is going to show up. >> he will be in new york. i'm hearing from my sources close to the nba, mr. blecher, that to avoid that meeting and have no meeting next tuesday in new york, three things must occur. there must be a purchase agreement. the sale of the l.a. clippers to someone. there must be a settlement agreement between donald sterling and the nba. and he has to pay that $2.5 million fine. if those three conditions are achieved, there will be no need for that meeting. what are the chances of those three conditions being achieved between now and tuesday? >> a...

So we're just sitting still for the moment. seeing where that, if anywhere, will lead us. >> well, let's talk a little bit about that for a moment, mr. sterling -- excuse me, mr. blecher i should say. mr. sterling has made it clear i assume in he wrote to the lette his wife telling her to go ahead and negotiate a sale to the team? >> he wrote a letter to the league authorizing her to negotiate. he understands the emphasis is on negotiating. she believes he's authorized her completely to sell the team. i'm not sure there's a meeting of the mind on the wording of that letter. but in any event, w...

Vindication. the money is not critical to him. >> well, it sounds to me like there can be a settlement under those circumstances. you're probably not that far away. the question is, does shelly sterling have a buyer? the answer is yes. will the nba be able to something, say something to give mr. sterling a little bit of what he wants? probably. and maybe that meeting next tuesday won't be necessary after all. but we'll see. we'll see what happens. maxwell blecher, go ahead, you want to make a final statement? >> i hope not. i don't like going to new york. >> it's a nice place, new york. >> i h...

Blecher. he'll help me with questioning. i asked you earlier about the nba meeting next tuesday in new york when they'll decide whether donald sterling will be able to keep the clippers. the other owners will be there. here's the question. will donald sterling be in new york next week to attend that meeting? >> before i answer that question directly, let me observe that this meeting is what i regard as a kangaroo court. ten owners before they even read the nba charges, before they read our defense and response to them, announced how they're going to vote. so, you can't tell me that they're com...
