Parsons said he's spoken to Rivers extensively this week and intends to lean on him to make basketball decisions for the franchise moving forward. Rivers also holds the title of senior vice president of player personnel.

"Here's what I spoke to Doc about," Parsons said in an interview with ESPN. "When he went out there, as he put it to me, one of the factors was that the then-management said, 'We don't know that much about basketball. You come, you run the basketball operations, we'll run the business.'

:sas1:

"Job 1 has already been done," he said. "Talk to Doc Rivers, tell him where I'm coming from, ask about his needs and perceptions and have him give some messages to the team. You don't want to land and become a distraction. They're in the middle of a playoff run.

:sas1:

Parsons said he reports directly to the NBA, and is effectively the "proxy owner" of the team while the Board of Governors continue the process of divesting Donald Sterling from his ownership stake in the team.

Sterling's wife Shelly's role in the team's future remains to be sorted out. She has made it clear to the league and publicly that she intends to keep her 50 percent stake in the team, which is owned by a family trust.

:sas1:

"I conferred with NBA commissioner Adam Silver this morning and endorsed the league's choice of Richard Parsons as interim chief executive officer of the Los Angeles Clippers," Shelly Sterling said in a statement. "Mr. Parsons has impressive management credentials in the important fields of the media, finance and professional sports. He is an ideal choice to run the franchise until the ownership issues are clarified."

Parsons said he intends to reach out to Shelly Sterling soon and will "work cooperatively, collaboratively and collegially with all the stakeholders. All the stakeholders who haven't been banned."


Oh yeah, "we've arrived" OP :sas1: To the puppet show :sas2:
