Sterling doubts strike talk

Clippers owner says getting paid would trump players' solidarity

Donald Sterling, the embattled Los Angeles Clippers owner banned for life by the NBA for racist remarks, said he doubts players would strike if he still owns the team next season.

In portions of an interview with CNN released on the network's website on Wednesday, the 80-year-old real estate tycoon said salaries would be more important that spiting him.
