Maybe. Or maybe he's into hamster cheek pouches. WTF is that about? In whose world do they use 'hamster cheek pouch" so much that they've turned it into an acronym? Bunch of sickos I bet.
Seattle sports radio now saying a meeting between Hansen and the NBA actually did happen yesterday in secret
Hansen, the Who (any old timers remember who I'm talking about) and others just stepped out of meeting...he has not yet addressed media and not sure yet if he will. The Seattle group was smiling as they left and shaking hands. KJ (and I assume Ranadive but no mention of him by the reporter) is headed in now. I still think it's weird that KJ is leading things...and it's strange he's even in the meeting today. You'd think it would be all about the owners. Edit: Hansen and crew presented approx. 20-30 minutes. If KJ's crew sticks to the same time frame, they should be done around 12:45 and then it's time for deliberation and voting. All right HCP, I'm depending on you to email me if it happens between 1 and 2...don't let me down. I sent a pm to you with my email address.
Sure...most of the media seems to think it's going Sac's way, but there's also a little intrigue going on.
No doubt...it's been a crazy process. There will be a lot of clarity today, but I'm pretty sure a lot will be unresolved too.
Don't we want Sacramento to win this battle? Seems after the Seattle/OKC debacle the NBA is now giving cities every chance to keep their team. Someday PA or Jody Allen will sell the team and when they do shouldn't Portland be given every chance to keep our team?
I hate to say it, but the key will be staying ahead of the arena issue. Have a decent arena, then you're good. If you don't, then you lose your team. No matter what the decision is today, that will be the takeaway.
Don't we have some 20 year lease? I guess it could be broken though.... I think Allen should give the team back to Portland. Like the Packers in Green Bay.
Owners have been deliberating since 1:25. I'd think the more time that goes by is a sign that Hansen has a chance. Yesterday, it sounded like the BoG was going to rubberstamp the committee recommendation. On the twitter feed, Cuban and the Celtics owner had an animated conversation during the break. A couple other owners joined and then Stern walked over and also got animated. No one seems to know what they were talking about, so maybe they were just talking wedding gift ideas or something.
Maloofs have left the room. No word yet on whether they're smiling....most all of the twitters have been very focused on whether people are smiling lol Guessng that means things might be wrapping up.
