The best result actual basketball result would be a billionaire willing to pay to win like GSW.


PayPal saying that they won't renew with Sarver means the clock has started.

Money talks and these dudes only care about money.

How do you not protect your investment against this type of behavior.

The Cancel Culture swings a heavy corrective mallet. But it’s the Enabling Culture that hammers the true damage down.


Yeah, people seem excited with him but he points fingers when it's popular and tries to give himself a good image, but then says he doesn't want to take over as Managing Partner and may again point fingers.

At first I thought he probably had the option to become the guy managing the organization being the second largest owner but someone was saying Sarver got to choose. Not sure that's accurate considering I don't think I saw anything official saying that.

But actions do speak louder than words.

Let's hope we don't regret this and get a worse owner or someone that will try to move the team

Couple things.

A new owner will certainly be more wealthy than Bob. It will cost like $2bil for the club so only truly deep pockets will qualify.

They aren't being moved. The team just got an arena upgrade and has a contract with the city. Teams can't move without NBA approval and this is one of the bigger markets. Not happening.

As far as just being generally worse, the bar is set so incredibly low it's highly unlikely they will get bought by a bigger piece of ****.

For the love of everything holy please don't let the buyer be from your typical stable of Silicon Valley Billi's. That's all I ask.
