Former GM Elgin Baylor (above) is suing his former employer, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the NBA for age and race discrimination. Baylor was the Clips' general manager for 22 seasons. He claims that owner Donald Sterling mistreated him, paying low wages and not increasing his salary after the 2004 season and the Clipper's run into the playoffs. He also says the team planned on forcing him to retire for some time, allocating several of his duties to coach Mike Dunleavy before Baylor left. Dunleavy is now both the Clippers' coach and GM. The Clippers have released statements denying all of Baylor's accusations.
