Arash Markazi of ESPN.com reported details on the situation.
A new Clippers arena would likely also include a training facility and office space. Ballmer doesn’t own Clippers facility in Playa Vista.

The Clips have shared the Staples Center with the Los Angeles Lakers for years and are looking to break away from the shadows. Having their own arena would definitely help the cause.
With Steve Ballmer money is not a problem and if the club wants to get serious about having their own space he can make it happen.
