While generally true, not entirely true. The Knicks made the 5th most money (net income) and Mavs we the 2nd worst. The Nuggets were the worst. The Hornets aren't exactly raking it in either.

Something like that. He assumed that just because "Securities" is in the company name. He's actually really good about returning emails.

My point was that a company can only lose so much money before they go BK. I don't know how much Bob is going to lose this year, but its going to be bad. Next year is going to be worse. I like Rick's thought that Jordan and cronies take him out a low ball level but I was trying to determine if shutting the doors is even an option. I am sure the NBA would help to find a buyer, but what if there isn't one? I speak from experience in saying that buyers of any asset right now are few and far between.

The NHL is going to have the same problem. I think league contractation is an option the NBA and NHL will have to consider.

Got to agree. I often send him e-mails - sometimes about the stupiest things - and he always gets back to me.

I know that he doesn't show all the Bobcats fans the same love though!!

:wave:

I questioned his assumptions and it must have really rubbed him the wrong way...the man shows me no love in returning my emails. And the kicker? It was over Primoz, basically trying to pin his under achieving play on everyone else but him.

Oh well...my loss I guess.

does he stil respond To email liek this, or has he finally gotten his supremely-talented editor to translate them before hitting "send?"

Still very muck liek that, with no paragraphs and very few sentences. Usually everything just rolls into one with little to no punctuation.

But like I said, at least he gets back to us (at least most of us Spectre!!)
