    While I would LOVE to see an NBA team in Mexico, the Blazers will not be that team, IMO.

    However, having Slim as an NBA owner, someone on the inside, would lead to the NBA getting a team in Mexico before an additional team in Canada.

    Also, an NBA team in Mexico would open the door to the NFL having one.

    You know why he lost money right (which wasn't the main reason why he sold his interest)?

    He kept ticket prices low. He's the people's owner.

    You remember incorrectly.

    Clay Bennet (from OKC) purchased that team and almost IMMEDIATELY began complaining about Key Arena (par for the course for these piece of shit billionaires).
    He then went to the city council to shake them down for money to build a new arena or renovate Key. When he KNEW the city wouldn't pay for it, he moved his recently purchased team.

    Billionaires should pay for their own shit but they keep convincing folks who want a team that we need to participate in their business ventures. FUCK THEM.

    Not if you are planning to board their yacht and take it from them.
