Dwight Jaynes says two groups are interested in buying the team from PA

I guess, that's what I'm saying; all of the tea leaves kind of point to the team being readied for a sale (or at least being put in a prime position) ... that doesn't mean it will happen, but it's as likely as it's ever been. Maybe Dwight Jaynes is just making this up, but is really that hard to believe?

 

If it was Chris Haynes, or Wendell Maxey or a national guy like David Aldridge or Woj or Spears would you buy it?

 

All seems a little too perfect, doesn't it? Maybe that's why they're trying to make the playoffs too. A "playoff team" is worth more

 

Good draft picks, NO GM and an interim video coach, lots of capspace comin up - it does seen almost too well set up to be true....lol

 

So am I. I hardly see the connection.

 

+1. I totally agree. The team does have a lot in place that makes it look like it could be up for sale, or at least enticing to potential buyers. Plus, Paul Allen has had the team on the market before. And it's not like the article says that PA is actively shopping the team.

It seems quite conceivable that these groups, seeing the posturing the organization has done and given Allen's previous listing of the team and the rumors surrounding its' possible availability, some groups decided to reach out to PA and see if he'd be willing to sell. And PA would be a fool to not at least listen.

 

Not Chris Haynes....... A national guy I might buy it. I just know how little respect anybody has for Jaynes, I don't buy his bullshit. Nobody around the organization talks to him.

 

I do some of my best work drunk.

 

Same here. In fact, it's part of my job to drink.

 

That's not what HCP's wife tweeted....

 

It doesn't have to be someone from the organization in this case. It could easily be someone from one of the buyers.

 

Gramps getting in on the action with HCP's wife!

And making funny comments!

 

LOL! Well played sir, well played.

 

It was just too easy. I couldn't resist. Besides, I had to say she tweeted as I have never met her (or HCP for that matter).

Gramps...

 

Spin, spin, spin. Why even bother commenting at all.

 

Interesting. Your first reaction is that Paul is lying and my first reaction is that Jaynes is full of shit.

 

Better than his usual silence. Good to have PA fired up.

 

That was a nice little piece of real-time radio with Allen responding while Jaynes is on talking about his story.

 

Please please please make this be true. Ideally to the local group, and then hire somebody like Jerry Sloan to be VP of Basketball Operations, with a younger, established GM (Kevin Pritchard/Tom Penn combo again? lol), and a top assistant coach in the mold of an Elston Turner, Brian Shaw, or even a Mike Budenholzer to become head coach.

I'll even help pay for a statue of Bert Kolde in front of the RG if it will persuade Paul to sell the team.
