When NBA commissioner Adam Silver laid the hammer down on Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling on Tuesday, he mentioned that he would urge the Board of Governors to force a sale of the team.

Once it became a possibility that the L.A. basketball franchise could be purchased, two prominent rappers stepped up to show their interest.

Rick Ross posted this on his official Twitter account:

Diddy, of course, felt the need to chime in:

Could either of these two hip-hop moguls be the next Clippers owner?

I guess anything would be better than the status quo.
