    The SBJ article I posted makes it sound like he's invested heavily in the Hurricanes community.
    Do a bit of googling before you make assumptions.

    And one of the Portland based investors, Sheel Tyle, his wife worked for the Biden/Harris administration

    All of our players are stars.

    Except the ones who are bums.

    So two of that list were acquired via trade. Two are secondary stars. Two were just flat out dumb luck.

    And in each of those players 3rd and 4th years, how many were thought to be stars or going to lead their teams to titles as their best players on their team?

    Maybe 1?

    Not sure how Paul Allen was part of the community, since he didn't live here, and never spoke publicly about things, and did a LOT more stuff in Seattle than in Portland.

    So you are saying we don't know yet if Utah can.
    Utah does not have any top 500 corporations, but they do have a lot of growing tech companies that may buy corporate suites.

    1. Didn't move the team to Seattle.

    That's good enough in my book.

    Honestly, I don't think Klay would have even been an All-Star if he wasn't drafted by the Warriors. With how many good guards were/are in the west, would these stats have gotten him on the All-Star team if he was drafted by the Wolves?

    Funny to think, Shaedon is still younger than Klay was in his 2nd year.

    There seem to be two types of owners in sports. Those who are so rich that making a profit from the team is secondary to winning. ( i.e, Ballmer) and those who are strictly in it to make money. I was hoping for a Ballmer type, but I get that those are harder to find.
