"Private Equity Prince" Josh Harris Just Bought The Sixers Cheap
The new ownership group, lead by billionaire “private equity prince” Joshua Harris, will reportedly seal a deal worth between $270 and $290 million in the coming days.
While the Sixers may be one of the most boring, least star-studded teams in the NBA, this could turn about to be a steal for Harris and friends. Here’s why.
Forbes valued the Sixers at $330 million in January, ranking them 17th among NBA teams. In a lot of ways, this ranking is understandable. In the past three years attendance at the Wells Fargo Center has been horrific: 23rd in 2009, 26th in 2010, and 25th in 2011. Those numbers are even more embarrassing considering that the Sixers made the playoffs in two of those years. http://www.businessinsider.com/philadel ... art-2011-6

Forbes valued the Hawks at $295 million in January, ranking them 23rd among NBA teams. In a lot of ways, this ranking is understandable. In the past three years attendance at the Wells Fargo Center has been horrific: 20th in 2008, 23rd in 2009, 18th of 30 in 2010, and 22nd in 2011. Those numbers are even more embarrassing considering that the Hawks made the playoffs in EVERY ONE of those years.

Mike Woodson and Mike D'Antoni held a powwow Monday in New York as the former Hawks coach's candidacy to become a Knicks assistant has picked up steam with sentiment he is not the leading candidate for the head-coaching job in Minnesota.
Javaris Crittenton, a former NBA player and Georgia Tech standout, has been charged with shooting a 23-year-old woman to death, Atlanta police said Friday night
Crittenton faces a homicide charge in the death of Jullian Jones, according to Carlos Campos, APD spokesman.
Jones was walking with others near 2915 Macon Drive in southwest Atlanta around 10 p.m. Aug. 19 when she was shot, Campos said. Jones, a mother of three, was struck in the hip and later died during surgery.
Two men walking with Jones fled and were not injured.
Investigators do not believe Jones was the intended target. Crittenton may have been seeking retaliation after being robbed April 21, Campos said. http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/former- ... 46197.html
Though the Heat isn’t very optimistic about its chances, expect one of the Miami’s first post- lockout calls will be to Denver free agent center Nene, who opted out of his $11.6 million contract for next season. It’s difficult to see Nene accepting a mid-level exception from Miami if there is a $6 million one in the new labor deal, but he told us previously that Miami is appealing to him. And he told The Denver Post: “If people think it’s about money, they’re wrong. I’ve saved my money. I could retire today.” http://miamiherald.typepad.com/sports-b ... dbits.html
hint hint JoshKevin Durant continues to eat like a college student, preferring unhealthy options rather than those that could help him add bulk and improve his conditioning.
“This past year, I was really big on eating a lot of foods with vegetables. That's all I really ate this past year was foods with vegetables,” Durant said. “I'm trying to stay away from the red meats and the fast food as much as I can, even though it's tempting.”
Durant, who has employed a chef during the season the past three years, recently hired a new cook to cater meals and ensure he's staying away from fatty foods.
“In the summertime is where I really kind of take a step back,” Durant said. “So I got to be mentally stronger and have more discipline and try to eat right.”
