That's ridiculous. You can't penalize a guy for being a racist. Sure he's an asshole but he really broke no rules or committed a true crime.
Even if you did that, he's always been Rich as fuck anyways. Reportedly him and his wife own more land than anyone in the LA county. So if he just lost this team for nothing tomorrow he would have only lost 12mil, the price at which he bought the team for, and you can't account for all the money he's made being a cheap fuck and just collecting checks through revenue sharing.
This is exactly what Mark Cuban was alluding to when he said the NBA has to be careful because this is a very slippery slope.
