owning the toros

[lukeridenour]

i think this was one of the smartest moves by our ownership. we can send out draft picks there and have our hand picked staff coach our rookies the way we want. because of this we shouldn't underestimate manhinmi's impact because theoretically he knows our system and could be effective right away.

wouldnt it be even crazier if we owned tau? our FA pool/rookie pool could get experience from both teams, and we wouldn't really have the splitter problem.

owning tau would be a pipe dream tho. probably impossible because there would just be too many complications. one being that they wouldnt be competitive cause the spurs would just keep taking the best player. FA might not even go there if this was true.

Because Austin is a Texas based DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE TEAM and Tau is one of the best teams in a competitive, big money, big attendance, big league in big Europe. Europe is no longer a small business basketball wise. They're expanding and competing.

I agree... I would think that even if Tau was for sale it would cost and min 100 million to own.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's some rule that won't allow an NBA ownership group to buy a Euro or other foreign team too.
