I bet the NBA would block the move

It's my understanding that this is all but a done deal. Same issues as they had in Seattle: old arena, bad attendance.

I read that Sterling and Buss are trying to drum up enough support to block the move. Not sure they will, because they'll be hefty relocation fee to be split for the owners.

Actually, the NBA is in favor of it. Phil Jackson spoke out against it the other night and he received a call from the NBA telling him not to say another word.

Finding a mutual enemy in the Kings may have even brought Jackson and Clippers owner Donald Sterling closer together.
Or, at least it won't bring them any further apart.

"I come from a generation that believed in karma," Jackson said last season when asked about Sterling."I do think there is karma in effect ultimately. ... If you do a good mitzvah [a Jewish term for an act of kindness], maybe you can eliminate some of those things. You don't think Sterling's done enough mitzvahs to eliminate some of those?"
Jackson had no interest in revisiting the conversation on Friday.

"I'm not going there. The last time I did that, I got in trouble with the league," Jackson said.

When asked to explain what he meant by "trouble," Jackson eluded the subject again.

"No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't even start on that," Jackson said. "We're not even going to that topic."
