>> maybe cedric could say something to this. from what i'm hearing doc rivers say it sounds like doc rivers if he continues to be the owner, i don't think doc rivers would sign on for next year. >> and he is really holding the clippers together and the league. >> yes. >> doc is doing a great job of holding everything together right now. he is absolutely doing a great job. of holding everything together. i love what doc rivers is doing. one thing that is happening with doc rivers, make a point about it. doc rivers has to be on board and say the right things to keep all the players together. >> and ken, i hear you mentioning dick parsons of time warner. i was like finally, daddy's home. something's going to happen or mommy's home. >> i didn't take it that way. >> but he said we just want to keep the boat moving and turn the flame down. and that's why i'm here. and that's going to be the nba commissioner's decision, and not me. >> the aura of leadership, the business presence -- it was a powerful moment. apart from the donald sterl

it doesn't seem to help him, cedric.esn't seem to help him case at all, even if he put it out there as a pr ploy. >> here's the thing. i'm not calling him a racist anymore. i just call him confused. over and over again the same thing happens. he hits himself in the head and backs away again and tells people different things. i don't care what happens in this whole situation. donald sterling cannot be in the nba. but as the panelists said, he will not go down without a fight. it's going to be -- he's not going down. the nba is not going to get rid of donald sterling that easy. >> yeah. >> i think so. i think so. if i can just say quickly, i think given the constitution, i think sterling's out. i agree with jeffrey, the matter with shelly is a little bit more complicated but at the end of the day, regardless of what happens with the vote of the owners, the leverage really is with the players in this league. the fans, the sponsors, and ultimately with the players and they will both be gone. it's what i predict. >> ken, do y

it's not even good for the people who subscribe to the orthodox view. >> marc, cedric, thank you both, gentlemen. stick around and listen to my headline. i think you're going to like it. remember that opening headline? donald sterling tells nba he won't pay fine. here's how i would have rewritten it. new speech standards, not so sterling. >>> how is your health care plan at work? if you have one, it could soon get pink slipped. what that would mean for you and for businesses. >>> by now you've probably seen beyonce's sister going ballistic on rap mogul jay-z but a reason you should be concerned about this video. life with crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis is a daily game of "what if's". what if my abdominal pain and cramps end our night before it even starts? what if i eat the wrong thing? what if? what if i suddenly have to go? what if? but what if the most important question is the one you're not asking? what if the underlying cause of your symptoms is damaging inflammation? for help getting the answers you need, talk to your doctor and visit crohnsandcolitisadvocates.com to con

and also with us, former nba player cedric maxwell.said it raised troubling issues, what are they? >> we're glad out of this ugliness we struck down the racist guy who seems to have got his come-uppance, one, the recordings were probably illegal and certainly a violation of his privacy. two, there is a mob mentality, and when there's a mob mentality and we like the result, we don't question it. it does seem like there was this ball rolling. this is essentially a thought crime. and the thoughts were terrible, and you can't pay it with his actual action, but we're strike out at what things he said last week, and my biggest problem is there is no internal soul searching by the nba. it seems like they're acting like we cauterized this wound and therefore it is gone. but what about when he was fined by the government for saying that black people smelled and attracted vermin. and there was absolute silence on the issue by the nba owners. we're not seeing any grappling with the past, we're just seeing striking out in the present. >> you're sa

joining me is cedric maxwell who is a sports radio analyst on the sports hub in boston. gloria allred. and judge hatchett. everybody knows everybody on the panel. you know, cedric, we have a new national poll at cnn and we asked should nba owners force sterling to sell the los angeles clippers, 47% say yes and the 50% say no. are you surprised by this? >> i'm not really surprised. the reason i'm not is i think a lot of people are looking at the message, the way it was got, the information that was gathered and a lot of people said so what where the information was gathered. if you look at your poll right now it tells me a lot of americans right now think the information was gathered the wrong way and the young ladies who was giving the information the more she talks the more it seems that people are going against her and not donald sterling. so it's really a mixed message that is being sent. >> i want to talk more, gloria, keep that in mind about what he said. but let me give you this followup. if we break those numbers down further, 42% of whites feel he should be force

i think that is precisely what cedric was talking about. is that appropriate?ll, first of all with respect to senator reid, there is not a racist bone in dan schneider's body, and he never indicated any prejudice to any group. there are many native americans that are proud to say hail to the redskins and sing that song at the stadium just as i have been. but it is an 81-year-old name and to compare the debate on that name with respect to those offended by it, to the man that is a racist and overtly has been a racist, why catch up to a man who has discriminated against people on the basis of race in the marketplace. there is no comparison, senator reid is really i think unfairly and inaccurately making that analogy. >> i want to bring in arne filco who has been involved in discussions about the sterling situation. what about this idea of precedent? has silver started one, in your view? >> well, i think the commissioner has taken great steps here. he showed great leadership. he has taken the position on tuesday that was absolutely correct. he was responding to a

here to talk about it is former nba star cedric cornbread maxwell. good to see you.s now a boston celtics radio analyst. good to see you. donald sterling has a reputation of being a fighter in the courtroom inside and out. do you think he will give up his team without a fight, even if the nba owners vote unanimously that he needs to sell the team? >> no, i don't. i really don't think he's going to really let this team go without a fight, and let me say this, too. if she's my best friend, if she was my confidant, let me find some more friends because i don't tell a story to somebody and then let it go out another way. the stories turn around going back and forth. the issue shouldn't be on her, but it is about her, too. i think the thing that donald sterling has done really has been horrible. the commissioner did it the right way. banned him for life. made sure that now he's going to have to sell this basketball club. and how ironic would it be, if in fact a guy like magic johnson, bought this team or oprah bought this team, a prominent black person. >> yeah. it would

steve cedric is in kiev. steve, we've had reports come across the wires about the gazprom negotiations. where does this put us as far as the negotiations are concerned? can we still see them as a step forward or that they're even taking place? >> both the events in donetsk and this very open public dialogue between the russian and the ukrainian government say to us what we already knew, julia, what you knew from your time in the country as well. we may have a pretty successful presidential election. i say successful in terms of that we have a clear winner and it looked like a clean fight according to the osce who we talked to earlier on. we have a presidential election, a clear mandate, who appears to have legitimacy. that's with one obstacle. we'll hit road block after road block. it will be difficult for the country and the government to get over all of those. the next vicious fighting in the last 24 hours. we didn't have deaths on the day of the election on may 25th but ever since then, the fighting has ta

let's get back to paul cedric. you've given me lots of reasons about why we're seeing this bull market being so unloved by investors. >> yes. >> what changes that? >> that's a good question. i think people -- i think -- the obvious things. people want to see confirmation that the economic growth is sustainable. they want to know what's going to happen, get a clearer picture when interest rates do start to move in the u.s. and the uk, how that pans out. and equity markets are all about earnings. ultimately it's earnings. you've seen recently the earnings revision ratio start to tick up pretty much across most of the advanced markets. the uk, the u.s. i think the earnings season that just went through, definitely was encouraging. there were no -- there were no real upsets there. and in fact in the u.s., they came out above expectations. >> is it all about earnings, really? as you point out, zero interest rate policy covering half the world right now. another $2 trillion worth of stimulus to be added this year, liquid
