He is rich compared to most but would be in the bottom compared to the net worth of other NBA owners. Smart guy and relatively young though.
No. Please no. I'd rather have someone who knows nothing about basketball who lets experts take the reigns than an ex player who's going to micromanage based on his inflated opinion of his expertise. Also, fuck Shaq.
I'd have no problem with Shaq. 1. He's a good businessman. 2. He's smart. Has a PhD. 3. He's played for well-run franchises. He obviously couldn't buy the entire franchise. It would have to be him and other investors. I think I'd rather have a Shaq-led investor group vs some strange dotcom billionaire. We lucked out with PA, can't count on the same luck when it comes to other billionaires. There are some strange ones out there.
Maybe him and Chuck and Kenny and Ernie can buy the team. seriously though I agree, no more billionaire owners. Being that rich does things to your brain.
I'm afraid we're going to end up with Larry Ellison. He's been trying to buy an NBA franchise for years now. He'd throw a fundraiser for Trump at the Moda, ANTIFA would burn it down, he'd take the insurance money and move the team to Vegas.
Portland would get airtime Players might actually want to come here Maybe we’d actually get an all-star game here We’d have a big man coach Chuck would have a new team to mock The real question would be if Portland would still be Portland? Would we get bandwagon former Laker fans?
