Adam Silver, the new NBA commissioner, handed down a stiff punishment for Donald Sterling, the billionaire owner of the Clippers who was recorded making racist comments--banning the 80-year-old from having any association with the NBA or the Clippers and forcing him to sell the team.

NBA players and team owners applauded Silver's decision. While Sterling cannot contest the lifetime ban, he could sue the league for forcing a sale, a prospect that could turn potential buyers away.

Those reportedly interested in the L.A. team include real estate developer Rick Caruso, entertainment mogul David Geffen, Magic Johnson, Larry Ellison and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Does it make sense for Sterling to sue? If Sterling agrees to a sale, how would the Clippers be valuated? How much could the team be worth?
