Let's start a clean thread.

For background on these guys, the SOB piece has some good stuff from the other day.

Lasry and Edens it is. We've got our billionaire owners we wanted. 8-)

Just surreal. Never thought we'd see the day.

Time to celebrate. What an absolutely perfect year for Bucks basketball. :beer:

Any chance they fire Hammond and drew for the halftime show?

Holy crap on a cracker, is this real Life?

I was on page 58 reading threw the last thread and my boss comes up to me and says he heard the Bucks were sold so I go to the last page and it's locked, never been so happy.

They better clean house.

New management, new facilities, new plane, new arena.

It's all a must, and these guys can bankroll it.

WOW. A big thanks again to BuckPack for sharing with us. Glad this was wrapped up before current management could do anything else. It's going to be a wild offseason.

This is truly the greatest day of my life as a Bucks fan. Even better than the Big3 days. We needed this rebirth.

how does it work with the "keep the team in Milwaukee?" at what point do they have an option of moving the team?

I certainly hope so DB! I'm quite pleased, quite a monumental day for this franchise.
