If Donald Sterling IS forced to sell the Clippers, THESE things should happen...

1)ALL after-tax proceeds of the sale should go to the tenants of his slumlord apartments in L.A., to compensate them for years of misery and to help them afford places to live fit for human beings(his treatment of those tenants is a far greater crime than a few hate words said in a private conversation, loathesome as those words were).
2)The league itself should buy the team, at Sterling's original purchase price of $12 million. Then, after the sale, the team should be turned over to either municipal ownership of the City of Los Angeles, or to the players themselves to run as a co-op. All of Stirling's slum tenants should be given free tickets to, say, ten Clippers games apiece(in addition to the reimbursements listed above).
Won't happen, probably, but that would be justice.
Also, the players SHOULD be standing up for those tenants, many of whom are Clippers fans, many of whose kids see them as heroes, in their fight against the horrific treatment inflicted on them by Stirling.
