I nearly fell out of my chair when I returned here and saw a Dick Tate post...

Now I just need my Sonictecture fix and nothing could stop my soul from slowly starting to heal.

We are not to the promise land yet, so stay diligent my longtime friends.

And **** Tom Dundon's bull. (Jail)Blazer's belong to Portland. Expansion or Bust...

OK, I retract this. Who needs a financial advisor when you have a Gates? :lol:

Looks like the ownership groups (Seattle, Vegas) are in place. Vegas- NHL's Golden Knights, Seattle- Kraken.

Seems like Adam Silver's latest press conference in Vegas was intended to drive up the price, nothing more/less.

If the price isn't $8.5B or more it will be tough to sell owners on another Seattle franchise.

It would be a stain for Silver.

If Seattle doesn't get a team this round the "old" luster very possibly could gone forever. 20 years is practically forever. More than that would just be...

Funny that your post would mention 20 years on the exact 20th anniversary of this:
