shirley sterling, i have been saying it all along, she is a real player here.ot going down quietly. >> without a fight. >> some said if the nba owners tried to vote out current ownership, that would be that trust and include shelly, but his wife. but you knows how this would look. it could get ugly. there is this other wrinkle. was this recorded illegally? suddenly, are they trying to force him to sell. these bylaws, were they based on something illegally obtained? >> we don't foe if it was illegally obtained. >> california is a two part consentee, everyone on that conversation, both parties have to consent it. now she is saying he was his archivist. whatever that means, which means she said she had consent, his consent to archive their conversations. i don't know, i think people are mixing apples and oranges when they say it's a legal tape. that means you can't use it as a grounds for getting the team away from him. i don't think that's true. does he have perhaps a causetive action against v viviano or whatever her name is? >> absolutely. i'm sure this is the

donald and shirley sterling are apparently now, according to reports rampant out there today, makingg me now to discuss, is patrick rich, webster university professor of economics and sports impact's director. doctor, number one, this all came about after the nba banned donald sterling for life from attending the games of the team he owns because of racist comments he made that became public. now it appears there's some movement. first of all, do you believe it's going to happen? secondly, what kind of money could they get for it? >> i do belief it's going to happen, and this is wise by the sterlings. at this point their name is mud, and why extend things any further? at this point i think they're making the right decision to try to end this. shelley sterling will have to give up 100% ownership of this team to make this deal with the nba go through. i don't think they want to avoid -- i think they want to avoid this 29-0 vote that i'm sure will take place on june 3rd if the owners do vote to actually, officially, get donald sterling out of the league. liz: i don't know, mark cuban st

this team is owned by a family trust that includes shirley sterling. e get the impression the nba would like to strip the name from the sterlings. we have developments in ukraine this morning. >>> good morning, russian president putin said russia has pulled its troops away from the ukrainian border, but there is no sign yet his word is bringing any changes there. nbc's kerr simmons is in ukraine with the latest. good morning. >> once again, president putin has stunned the world and left so many wondering what he is up to. u.s. officials say there is no sign of russian troops moving away from the ukrainian border. meanwhile, president putin has called upon local activists here, delays on possible independence. we have seen those ballots. they talk about independence, but now the activists here have said they want to have the vote anyway on sunday against president putin's wishes, raising the question whether putin has lost control of events in ukraine or this all passes. >> kerr simmons in ukraine, thank you. >>> a huge explosion caught on camera this mo

this of course being negotiated with donald sterling's wife shirley who he's given permission to presidethe deal. >>> it's been calling a arabian secret uprising. the region is on the largest oil fields. in a special investigation our world series, our journalist is going to unprecedented filming access finding out how the sheer community is reacting to the violence government crack down. >> this is a coastal region in the eastern province of saudi arabia where most the country muslims live. they claim they suffer discrimination from the kingdom suni leaders and get little resources. the uprising kicked off in early 2011 with protestors demanding the release of nine men held for years without trial. security forces were sent in. dozens were arrested. the protests didn't stop. three years on, check points still ring in the area. it's difficult for me to move around with the camera. i could be arrested. although few have spoke tn to med media. i've tracked down men that agreed to be interviewed. they wanted their voices altere altered. >> i meet dozens of protestors and secret meetings. it

want to make sure if a sale goes through, they have some level of immunity that the sterlings, both donald and shirleye ownership group. >> magic johnson who is reportedly a perspective buyer of the clippers had this to say. clippers fans, you'll love steve ballmer as your owner. another tweet, steve ballmer loves basketball, is a smart businessman and will probably shake every fan's hand outside the arena on opening night. so if the sale goes through what does steve ballmer bring to the table as the new owner? >> obviously he's got deep pockets, a great reputation. so far he indicated willingness to keep the team in los angeles there were rumors about him interested in moving a team to seattle. the clippers as an investment and as a franchise in the los angeles market is something that appears -- is safe for them and seattle will have to look elsewhere for potential owner. the other thing that has been talked about is whether or not the nba would allow a new owner to change the name of the team. you've got the los angeles clippers, which has not had a particularly successful run in terms of -- in the
