Wait wut? These guys don't need the money, they look at these teams as a trophy and something to brag about and measure their self-worth. Sterling definitely to look at it as a gift, it was like losing a child to him. You guys love to try and spin everything. He could get more money if straight up sold it.
How do you know? It would be more believable to say that those guys see their teams as hobbies and investments. Either way, I'm sure the 2 billion went a long way in his healing of losing a child. Nice little severance package. How do you know? At the time, it was the most any team had ever sold for. That's what we know.
How do I know? It's been written about plenty how those guys cherish their teams. You keep acting like they found this money they could have sold the teams at any time and probably made more. You sound ridicoulous.
Just like the last Jewish owner caught in a racism scandal, he’ll be “forced” out of ownership when he sells the team for twenty times what he paid for it.
They wouldn't invest in them if they didn't think they were important, but cherish? Nope. You don't get and stay as wealthy as those types without knowing how to move on and cut your losses. Which in their cases, have never been actual, tangible losses. Also, in the cases of both Sterling and Sarver you have owners who were the slum lords of the NBA. So, how much did these two really cherish their teams? Which is my point. People want to celebrate these guys selling their teams as if they're ultimately losing. They're sacrifices are public and sensationalized, but in private they leave like bandits.
It's obvious you don't have a clue, most owners cherish being in an exclusive club-like NBA ownership. Thanks for making my point, if they were slum lords of the NBA and could have made more money selling why did cling so hard to ownership? You are arguing against yourself and don't even know it.
Forgot he played for the city OKC twice lol He's played in some odd situations. He's played for TWO OKC teams and played for the Hornets...and not the Charlotte Hornets.
Reputation. Us poor folks think that's a lot of money. When u get to that level of rich, ego and reputation matters a lot. Sterling got his dragged through the mud.
Donald Tokowitz cried his way to the bank. When you're that rich, you can treat the "others" like cattle and still have sycophants kiss the ground you tread.
sure what us poor folks think about them rich folks mean jack sht to them. But i imagine life isn't all rosy when your rich peers don't wanna b seen out in public with u due to your sht reputation
I know what they say about NBA owners, I just don't believe it. I don't believe that they value being an NBA owner as much as you do. Sterling bought the team for 12.5 million and sold it for 2 billion. That's like double or something. Do you really believe that was a punishment? Is that worthy of a celebration? Really, what is your point?
The first three tweets in that post were removed. were those the ones that promised some massive story from ESPN “coming out early next week” — which would have been last week obligatory “we’re waiting” gif than again, maybe the story broke, and I rely too much on CFnet for my news updates
Any time the Suns' front office makes headlines it reminds me of this story: https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/03/suns-robert-sarver-goats-ryan-mcdonough-office
