Can we buy the Raptors 

Post#1 » by Bargni » Sun Aug 24, 2014 3:09 pm

If all our posters each contributed $1000 to a fund operated by the Mods, and our estimated 30,000 posters x $1000 each = $30 Million, enough to buy part of the Raptors. Lets NBA guys and get er done someday. We will then vote on motions to make trades,signings, etc.

What would your first motions be?

My motions;
1. Limit amount of time Leo Rautins talks
2. All Raps games to be on cable and not TSN2
3. Erase all references to Rob Babcock from Raps history
4. Bring back VC (good for money)
5. Email Brian Colangelo about possible job opportunity to be mop girl

Dont mean to be a debbie downer, but honestly we will never have a functioning team. The farthest I see us getting in reality is the 2nd round, ever. Our teams will never be good enough to attract stars, we arent bad enough to draft a star. Our owners are too busy measuring the size of their dicks with rulers half the time not even paying attention to issues, and when they do they force out the one CEO/head guy that actually wants to balance **** out... Saying all that, if for some crazy reason **** starts to line up for us, the rigged ass league and their refs would NEVER let a team from Canada win a title, ever...

Only reason I watch is cuz I hate TV, and I need something to pass the time with.

Please send in your $1000 to my paypal @ realgmraptorsowner22@hotmail.com and I will send you a picture of a certificate of ownership via email saying that you are now a owner of the raptors.

Forget the 30 million dollar evaluation being way off.

Where do you get "our estimated posters" being 30K, theres only 106K members on RGM, assume some are dead accounts, then distribute some to NYK/CHI/MIL/etc.. the other bigger boards. Id say we have less than 5K and thats probably being very generous considering all the mult accounts.

Last years roll call, only amounted to 546 posts. Some of which were posters posting twice.

Well with the absurdly high amount of posters aside, if we did generate 30 mill, we'd only be 520 million short of buying the Bucks, assuming the price hasnt gone up, which it probably has.
