Another sign of changing times: When I covered BOG meeting re: San Diego Clips proposed move to L.A. in 1982 only two-three of us present.
 
Unfortunately there are some good reasons to negotiate a bit with the Maloofs. The Ranadive offer is set at the $515 value, if the NBA essentially forces the Maloofs to accept it, then they have about a $65 million loss. Strong incentive to sue after the deal. So some deal to sweeten the pot to get the Maloofs to not only sign off on the deal but sign a second legal waiver this one specific to this deal.

That would be extremely unfortunate. The Maloofs, knowing that Vivek needs to sign a GM and a coach, could then string things out for a long, long time, hoping to get Vivek to kick in more $ to just get them to go away. Stern needs to shut this down now and tell the Maloofs that if they don't sign pronto they'll call the $150 million loan and take the team under the best interest of the league clause. Otherwise, we're looking at the next episode of craziness.

There's no doubt in my mind whatsoever that Stern will not hesitate to take that action. Hopefully it will not be necessary.

For what it's worth, much of north TX now under t-storm threat with chance of tornadoes. @kcraFinan

Every time someone shows up, like KJ's press secretary, we get jumpy. But meeting still less than 3 hrs old and we were told to expect 4+

Again not sure what time any pressers start since these meetings are fluid and there's no set end time. We usually get a 10min heads up
