Ooh, you went there? I’d recommend asbestos underwear to ward off the flaming. Kobe is only half a billionaire, so he’d need help to do it. https://wealthygorilla.com/kobe-bryant-net-worth/
Don't worry guys. I already have the winning MegaMillions numbers on lockdown. I'll be happy to add the $15 from the other poster interested in ownership. Then will set up the other 50% to be owned by the fans a'la the Green Bay Packers. After the sale, I will be taking immediate resumes for GM. I already have my Director of College Scouting position filled. #Proactive The Arena will go back to being named the Rose Garden and any sponsorship will require the Rose Garden name to be maintained For half the home games, there will be a row in the lower bowl reserved for a random row from the 300 Level to infuse some energy in to the corporate seats There will be rotating food specials in the 300 level that will be family and kid friendly and much more affordable I'm working with a marketing group to bring back a more 'local' feel to the team with grass roots events that are much more word of mouth than they are media driven. And there will be a commitment to winning at a high level. I won't be satisfied with being mediocre. Making the Playoffs should be a given and not the goal. More to come after the drawing tomorrow night.
I'd be worried you'd want to be a Player/GM. You'd want to sign yourself and I'd have to veto that. Then things would get awkward...
It takes two parties to create a buyout. And the NBA would likely have some say, so make that three parties... It'd be extremely complicated.
Moda center contract goes through 2025. Any prospective owner wishing to move the team would have to pay $100 million per year to do so...$900 million
Also, I doubt that they're going to sell to someone with intentions to move the team. I don't think they'd spite what Paul Allen wanted..
Fair criticisms. I think he has an amazing basketball mind and would make good decisions on his "cabinet". LeBron? Of course bro. But that couldn't happen for 5-7 years.
Source? If so, that's not including stadium-construction and relacation costs... And that's just incentive for someone to not even propose a move... After the proposal, it'd still be tough to move the team because of the NBA.
