NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said the league likely does not have a place to intervene in the ongoing dispute between majority owner Glen Taylor and minority owners Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore over sale of a portion of the franchise that would have made Rodriguez and Lore the new controlling owners.
"It's not clear whether there will be a role for the league to get involved," Silver told reporters Wednesday in New York, where the league was holding a board of governors meeting. "... They have a purchase agreement and there's a dispute now in the purchase agreement and in their purchase agreement, they, in essence, pre-agreed to a dispute resolution mechanism that includes mediation and arbitration, and that's where it stands.
