    That'd be beyond awesome if it was him.

    Maybe he can think of it as just a nice 20 year investment as well as build up the NVidia brand on games etc which these young NBA kids all like.

    Ideally though I suppose we prefer an owner who just wants to throw excessive $ all over the team, but not in a Matt Ishba destructive way. More in a Steve Ballmer way.

    If Balmer didn't have Doc as his GM that first year with the PG trade might have been much better

    Isn't Bezos linked to Seattle expansion ideas? So then wouldn't be him.

    I don't like projecting definitives. That said, I dislike Seattle with the heat of magma. If they moved there, I would walk from following the NBA.

    Fire all of the coaches and management and just pay Becky Hammon to do EVERYTHING, including have his children.

    You'd think anybody would be. But child support from the richest man on earth must be a boat load...

    I'm his defense probably hard to keep track when he has 17 kids with 11 women.

    Well... Maybe not a very big boat...

    Grimes is only receiving $2,760 in child support from Elon Musk for the 3 children they share.

    It's 100% accurate. The league is alienating their most loyal fans in exchange for glitter.
