I knew Andy a little bit because we were members of the same gym. Before I knew he was team prez I complained to him about our lack of athleticism on the wing. He was pissed lol

The house-cleaning is unfinished.

Darren Rovell, ESPN (5/6/14)

Still remaining as part of the ownership team is Shelly Sterling, who has been separated from her husband for several years, though still married, has distanced herself from him, saying she supports the league's action, and released a statement calling herself "co-owner," leading some to believe that she too could put up a fight if she so desired. Sources have told ESPN.com's Ramona Shelburne that she has spoken to the league expressing her desire to keep the team.

NBA's Sterling Strategy Emerges

I for one, am glad.

Andy has always been Sterling's yesman, and never really had any creds in my eyes for all those years he spent as a high up executive for a basketball franchise.

I think this was a "Silver" move direct from the Commish. Roeser was too close to Sterling and I think the NBA didn't like that the current Clipper Prez was still loyal to his former boss.
This had to be done, it was a ballsy move, but you can count that Roeser is still getting paid probably by the NBA.

I'll always remember Roeser for this moment...

At the end of the day, he'll forever be the Waylon Smithers to Donald's Mr. Burns. There were plenty of times when it seemed that he would find a way to stick his foot in his mouth during a press conference, so I won't miss that at all.

Great work league next step is to remove Sterling altogether.

It's about freaking time. Roeser should have left the day after Sterling's ban. All of Sterling's people will have to go, it's just taking a little time I guess.
