I've got no problem with it. Similar to Cuban. Developing good rapport between owner and players can't hurt in today's age of high-stakes free agency.

Lol for all we know maybe Gores flew them all down there and paid for their stay. What does it matter. If we aren't a glitzy market, it's having an owner that players want to play for that will make a difference.

You can say that again. We're in such a good spot because Gores did what a good owner should do: hire excellent staff and let them do their job. He hasn't been shy about opening his wallet either.

I think its great to see Gores invested in his team on a personal level.

Doubt CBA would allow that actually - would be a circumvention of the salary cap.

I'm glad the team has such a great rapport with the owner. Gores is committed to building a winner and changing the perception of the franchise.

I'm skeptical that's how it works, but I'd be curious to read more. Are owners allowed to take players out to dinner, where do you draw the line? What about when they wine and dine a free agent? We had a private jet (we're stopping using it this season and switching to Delta to save some $), I wonder if they would be allowed to take that in the summer?

Not like these guys cant afford to fly there, but still..

Iam all for it as well,I don't just want these guys looking at Gore's as a face less boss.I want them to be on a friendship level,would really help sway decisions if the players really thought of this team and franchise as a big family,then just another team.
