If any of these lawsuits make it to a higher court, they won't have a leg to stand on.

Many of the judges in the Seattle courts are elected officials, so don't be surprised if it is granted.

The higher courts will overturn or throw out these suits, the relief sought isn't grantable.

A long shot if Shultz may win his suit; however, it's going to be difficult for him to sell to locals with Ballmer being the only applicant.

The courts can see through much of this, the relief sought that Shultz is asking isn't grantable through the courts--The NBA legal staff will file on this one because they have a right to approve their own ownership groups and Ballmer is definitely not being approved.

...and Shultz will at least say he tried.
