A bit over my budget, but I think I'd pass on this investment it even if I was in that financial bracket. You can bet they won't be selling out for the next few seasons.

Let's pool our money together and get an ownership interest just to help trade their best draft picks to Portland.

We can push to get David Kahn as GM.

Bill Gates should buy a majority interest and move the franchise back to Seattle where it darn well belongs.

Will never happen but that is exactly what should happen.

Not majority powers means 60 cents on the dollar. All stars left is a big hit to the value. Tons of picks adds some back, but not enough.

My guess is final sale at 185 mil

They'd have to change the name to something more fitting. Las Vegas Over-Under?

Kansas City Thunder? Would have to move far and Thunder happens in Kansas too.

But personally they should move back to Seattle and become the Seattle Suckers.

Thats the problem. Vegas will provide an owner/ owners witch casino money who dont mind paying repeater taxes( just tighten up the slots in thier casino to offset) and poor money into big name stars.

Could go either way, but I dont want an NBA team in Vegas.

How about the Law Vegas Johns . . . because the team screwed Seattle and OKC?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Back to Seattle?

Sly you broke this news before I heard it on NBA radio. You must have some deep connections.

I'm planning to get a home there in the future (because LA is fucked), so having an NBA team would be cool.
