What now? Ownership, etc

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Cept that the city and the team aren't in a discussion about building a new stadium for the team, and the city hadn't just spend a TON of money building a football stadium and baseball stadium. So yeah, "dolla dolla bill y'all" does apply. But it's not the same as what happened in Seattle, so bringing it up as though it proves some kind of point or makes you appear to be more knowledgeable about the situation is kind of dumb. Because it doesn't.

The team will be sold to the highest bidder. And they will buy their way out of any commitments if they feel like it.

 

[Strenuus]

McGowan and AEG bro culture about to run a train on y'all.

Alright, chill with it.

AEG co-owns T-Mobile arena in Vegas BTW.

 

[TBpup]

For real though, my skillset is top-notch. I've been through 2 years of business school, know the CBA, know how to evaluate players, have played the game at the college level. My resume is golden.

Lol great, we got an owner that'll run the team into the ground. Gotta go rig the lottery.

The new owner has 4 years of business school, a double degree, with a Psych minor, multiple post graduate classes, certificates, designations, know the CBA (and used to talk about it by the hour with a former Blazer GM) have genius minions evaluate players for me and also played ball at a college level.

So far, hiring you would be a faint duplication. What else can you bring? I'll even give you a hint.

I don't want 'status quo' and being good at what has already been being done or what everyone else does. I want an innovator, someone who will bring me ideas that push the edges. Inevitably, it will be my decision but I want people willing to take a risk (educated) and willing to stand it.

Go!

Blazers aren't going anywhere

no one is going to spend 1.5 billion dollars for a team and an arena, and then spend the money to move the team and buy an arena (because why would they want to *not* own the arena they play in?) AND pay a penalty for moving the team. And then on top of that, they'd have a pretty much worthless arena in a city without a pro team using it?

That is not a smart way to make money or run a franchise.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

AEG = Vegas

Oak View/Leweike = Seattle

Both have an in with Chris McGowan

Ive developed neural networks and AI’s that use large databases for robotics. I could do that for making more educated guesses on drafting or signing the right players. Lots of data out there to e at up. There thats my resume lol. Shredder.

There we go. That is what is 'next' in terms of data usage, interpretation, etc. Seriously, @TorturedBlazerFan , outside of basketball, PM me if you are interested in a career discussion. My girl works for a company down in the Bay Area and more and more, that is what they are getting into.

They can sell the arena or operate it independantly as a concert venue. A company like AEG can totally do that.

Not happening.

Sadly, that is very true.

I'll play you one-on-one for the job.

The arena loses a lot of value if the move the team. They'd take a loss on the stadium since they'd have to buy it with the team. The team moving a far-fetched theory with no basis.

I dont like it, but its the reality we live in

Also, why the hell do you sound like you want them to move? Get outta this thread.

Your version of reality isnt truth.

Go!

Oh thats easy, Id design MR(Mixed Reality) algorithms that help us know more about our players on the fly, hows there heart rates, body temperature, and other vitals during games. We’d use technology to gain an advantage over our opponents by knowing our team better.

If I ever did anything professionally for basketball itd be things like that (and Im serious). Ive spent time at Microsoft campuses working on hololens developement. So I got that going for me. I dont want to be the gm though lol.

But it increases the value of the Vegas venue just as much, if not more. I wonder if MGM resorts would be able to own an NBA team.

 

[TBpup]

Bad play. I'm more interested in a team approach. Your quest for individual glory does not bode well young grasshopper. And out of all of that, you came up with a game of one-on-one to prove your acumen? This resume' is headed in the wrong direction.

Hit reboot and try again.

 

[BonesJones]

Using El Presidentes logic, why do we still have teams in Milwaukee, Memphis, and Utah?

If every small market is dying to move...

Ridiculous fear-mongering when we should be focused on remembering Paul Allen. This shit is pissing me off.

I wanted to give you a chance, that's why I offered one-on-one.

Small market teams are not dying to move.

However, if you are a greedy asshole and an opportunity comes up you take it, culture be damned. Its gentrification on a corporate scale.

Doubtful. Its a spirited discussion. Too bad your fail to realize how money driven and corporate the world is.

I'm one day from owning the team you bleed crimson red for and you want to play one-on-one. #SMH If it makes you feel better, I'll let you and KS play one-on-one after both teams have cleared the floor after a game.

Yeah, what makes you think the NBA is going to allow the team to be sold to someone with sights in moving the team, and what makes you think Vulcan/Paul's sister is going to dishonor Paul's wishes and sell to a person that wants the team relocated? Even if that happens there's so many obstacles that'd make it nearly impossible. I'm not buying the fear-mongering BS.

Even if that happens there's so many obstacles that'd make it nearly impossible. I'm not buying the fear-mongering BS.

I don't want to happen, but you have to come up scenarios on how they are gonna fuck us.

selling an arena without a professional sports team as one of it's major tenements? Yeah, that's gonna get a lot of money.
