[Visigoth]

Who the **** is Vivek Ranadive?

[marthafokker]

Will this team be outsourced to India to save money?

[Coxy]

expanding the game to India

Huh

[Golden State]

Ranadivé grew up in Juhu area of Mumbai and was the youngest of three children.[1]. One of Ranadivé's earliest dreams was to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which he learned of through a documentary film on the institution. Described as "a true visionary in a valley full of seers," by the August 10, 2004 issue of Information Age, left Mumbai at age 17 with enough money to last two months.

In 1975 Ranadivé entered MIT and in four years, he completed a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and a master's in mechanical engineering. He received an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1983 and was a Baker Scholar.[2].

TIBCO's origins begin with a company called Teknekron Software Systems, Inc. (TSS). While at Teknekron, Ranadivé developed The Information Bus, which integrated and delivered market data—like stock quotes and other financial information—for banks and other financial service institutions. Prior to founding TIBCO, Mr. Ranadivé was president and founder of a UNIX consulting company. Previously, he held management and engineering positions with Ford Motor Company, M/A-Com Linkabit, and Fortune Systems.

Interesting... but I think if you want to know the basketball side of things, Lacob would know more. These guys sound like they're more on the business side.

[The Maestro]

Why would I give a **** what this suit has to say? He doesn't make any basketball decisions and he probably doesn't give a **** if we win or lose as long as he makes his money.

I'm not even convinced Lacob, the main basketball decision maker, cares if we win or lose.

[Twinkie defense]

Shut up and buy his products/services!

Another minority owner:

Chad Meredith Hurley (born 1977) is a co-founder and former Chief Executive Officer of the popular video sharing website YouTube. In June 2006, he was voted 28th on Business 2.0's "50 People Who Matter Now" list. In October 2006 he and Steve Chen sold YouTube for $1.65 billion to Google.[1]

Hurley worked in eBay's PayPal division—one of his tasks involved designing the original PayPal logo—[2] before starting YouTube [3] with fellow PayPal colleagues Chen and Jawed Karim.[4]

On October 16, 2006, Chen and Hurley sold YouTube to Google, Inc. for $1.65 billion. It was reported in the Wall Street Journal that Chad Hurley's share in the $1.65B sale of Youtube.com was $345.6M at Google's Feb. 7, 2007 closing stock price of $470.01. He received 694,087 Google shares directly and another 41,232 shares in a trust. His other two co-founders, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim, received 625,366 shares and 137,443 shares respectively valued at $326.2M and $64.6M. The Journal's report was based on Google's registration statement with SEC filed on Feb. 7, 2007. Hurley stepped down as CEO of YouTube in October of 2010 and stated he would stay on as an advisor of YouTube, allowing Salar Kamangar to take over the CEO position.[7]

The 19-person ownership group members include:
Joe Lacob, Peter Guber, Vivek Ranadive, Erika Glazer, Fred Harman, Bob Piccinini, Larry Bowman, Danny German, Marty Glick, Chad Hurley, Craig R. Johnson, Bruce Karsh, Jeffrey A. Miller, Paul Schaeffer, David Scially, Nick Swinmurn, Harry Tsao, John Walecka, and Dennis Wong. [13]

Active energetic smart wealthy creative resourceful.
Rowell is not going to derail this group.
Learning this today I'd have to say the W's future looks very good.

[Golden State]

I'm just encouraged seeing there is an ownership team behind GSW with the resources and expertise to compete with Boston, LAL, NYK, Heat, etc.
With Cohan types it could have easily gone the other way. Like New Orleans default, ...Memphis ...

I'm anxious for improvements but these owners dot the i's and cross the t's, they are not about knee-jerk responses like losing BD at half salary and signing Maggs at double his value.

[St.Nick]

Anything interesting happen in the interview? Or was it mainly a PR commercial for this dude so he can try to get famous?

[Golden State]

Why would I give a **** what this suit has to say? He doesn't make any basketball decisions and he probably doesn't give a **** if we win or lose as long as he makes his money.

I'm not even convinced Lacob, the main basketball decision maker, cares if we win or lose.

Lacob hinted at the connection when he said knowing all the players, esp on other teams, is how you rebuild a team correctly. Ranadive's expertise can expedite that goal.

[toffee1]

Mr. Lacob is an equal opportunity kinda guy, sheiks, commies, rajas. You don't get to own a nba franchise without taking a penny from your own pocket unless you are as smart as lacob. For the next 5 years, mr. lacob will spend cohan's $$ earned from selling the warriors.

[elmdawgg69]

Lots of interesting things from the interview, including how TIBCO's software will be used to make personnel decisions.

I will post a podcast soon.

[warriortone]

Thanks, very interested in hearing more from this guy. Looking forward to the podcast link.
