If you had the choice between Kohl and new ownership?

Keep Herb. Despite his lack of action he wants the team in Milwaukee.

Sell the team and make huge changes running the risk that the team would move if we can't get an arena and/or win something significant.

I said as long as the owner keeps the team in Milwaukee. I'm willing to take the risk.

So you don't get to choose if the owner keeps the team here. It's either Kohl stays and things stay the way they are or Kohl sells and we risk being moved.

And there's no risk to selling the team if the new owner keeps the team in Milwaukee. What's the worst that would happen if that were the case? He's Herb Kohl Jr.?

If the team moves those who chose B will regret it if they are Bucks fans. If the Bucks go to out of state ownership at Kohl's death or otherwise there's no reason for them to stay here. They would only be bought to be moved like the Sonics except more so. There are plenty of available markets as large and less cheap.

If the team moves, I'll still be a huge fan of the team. Only difference is that I won't see a lot of games live. Seeing as how I haven't last year or this year, no harm no foul.

When the Braves moved to Atlanta I think quite a few fans followed them while they had Aaron but I believe there was soon nothing but regret for all but a small minority. Fans of the Dodgers, Giants, Browns, Colts and others will, I think, recount the same terrible experience. Do Cubs fans or Shia (no sacrilege intended) change their religion because of a few bad decades or centuries?

When the Milwaukee Hawks were here they were no good but soon after getting to St. Louis they became perennial powers. You would feel sick if you missed out on a powerhouse Bucks team in St. Louis. Ownership will change eventually. Rushing to out of state ownership will only let fans watch the owner maneuver his way out of town. A Missouri owner wouldn't let the team win.
