Own a Team - Financial Transactions and News

[RiotPunch]

New ownership in Milwaukee is sick and tired of the "Bucks" being the punch line of many a joke around the league over the past couple of decades. This franchise has not seen greatness since the days of Lew Alcindor and only has 1 title to show for it. This current run of teams with mediocre talent being forced together to battle for the 8th seed in the East are OVER. To show this transition back into title contention, we have decided to start the change of identity with a team name and logo change.

Years ago, in the 1950's and early 1960's, the baseball team in Milwaukee was known as the Braves. That team was eventually lost to Atlanta where they remain today. We decided, with the consulting of the local Potowatomi Group, that we would like to bring the old logo back to the MKE. We took the logo from back then and altered it to fit our new look team. I present to you, the Milwaukee Tribe!



$10,000,000 for the name change. $1,000,000 to r0cd0gg for fine-tuning the logo!!

(Rumor has it that jersey designs and arena plans are being discussed between ownership and the Potowatomi Group and will be unveiled by the weekend, pending league approval)

The Los Angeles Clippers are tired of sharing everything (except the success) with the Los Angeles Lakers. We don't like LA anyway. With a new team and a new attitude we are finally relocating and going back to our roots. No longer the Los Angeles Clippers, but now back to the Buffalo Braves! We will be sharing the First Niagara Center stadium with the NHL's Buffalo Sabres.




We thank you Mr. Brand for sporting our jerseys and taking so much of our money in the past.

The relocation will cost us a whopping $60M, but it's worth it.

So long LA! Hello Buffalo!

EVERYONE PLEASE READ!

Now that the 2011/12 season is closing up you will need to post your total salary for the season under Finances on your roster page.

Once the playoffs have concluded I will be posting earnings/losses for each team from fines sharing, lux tax sharing, arena income, TV playoff earnings, etc.

These will go in the 2011/12 subsection of your Finance section of you roster page.

Once the draft rankings are posted we will be switching over to 2012/13 salaries which will start the new subsection of your finance section. DO NOT change over to 2012/13 yet as I am going through team by team to make sure numbers are correct.

thanks, roc

The Indiana Pacers are no more. I have decided to not only move the team West, but also rename them to...



The Anaheim Arsenal!

The name comes from a former D-League team, but we changed the color and are now using it for the former Pacers. Cost will be $60,000,000, $50,000,000 for relocating, and $10,000,000 for renaming.

Breaking News... a shift of power in the conferences

With Indiana moving to the West Coast the league can now do a small realignment with the Anaheim Arsenals moving to the Western Conference and the Buffalo Braves moving to the Eastern Conference.

It is widely speculated one more shift will be made in the near future with Quebec moving conferences at that time. It is unsure which team would move West as of this article.

Stay tuned for future details as they unfold.
