I bumped this thread with that information because I think that Bezos will shift his way there and try and buy them as opposed to us. He already owns the Washington Post and is heavily involved with the NFL. Might as well buy a football team as well.
He can of course afford both but I'd be surprised if the Suns are his 1st choice now......
https://www.bizjournals.com/washington/news/2022/11/04/jeff-bezos-nfl-commanders-jay-z.htmlJeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) and owner of The Washington Post, has expressed interested in buying the Washington Commanders, according to People and later reported by the Bezos-owned newspaper.
Music mogul Jay-Z might be involved in Bezos’ bid for the team, according to the reports. Bezos, with a net worth of more than $113 billion, is currently the world’s fourth-richest person, according to Forbes. Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, is worth $1.3 billion, according to Forbes.

That's a smart move and with all this drama surrounding Amazon still selling that book, I don't think the league is gonna be too happy about him owning us. He's already involved in the NFL, just makes sense to own a team all the better if he owns a team in the city he's heavily invested in with DC.
I wonder if I need to add Obama as an option to this thread? Lol.
I don't think he has near the money but he can buy in as a minority owner and be the public face of the team I suppose.
As long as we have someone who doesn't mind cutting some big checks. That's all I really care about.
I don't know if they would associate Bezos with the book. Amazon is just a buy/sell marketplace and there is a place for independent film makers to upload films. Though I did read that they have to pass some sort of quality test or something and every other film that guy made got rejected.
What is interesting about Kyrie promoting this and getting behind, from what I read, this film is just something one guy made at home. Like a home made movie.
Though it does seem like Amazon would take it down given the negative publicity. The guy who put it up, is probably raking in the dough right now too despite how much people hate it a lot of people now want to go watch it anyway to get more context.
