dont care Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Is he trying to be voted out by the owners? That’s the only explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 1 hour ago, dont care said: Is he trying to be voted out by the owners? That’s the only explanation. Dolan might be the only owner in the NBA who's also a full owner of the team's local broadcast network, though, so if an overall increase in media rights is offset by lessening the earning power of MSG Network, it makes sense for him to be opposed. I think the other NBA teams all only have partial stakes, at most, in their RSNs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who do you think Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I was going to suggest that this was a bridge too far for keeping the team together - seeing as Sam Hausers grow on trees in the modern NBA - but as I was writing I remembered that salaries and inflation are so :censored:ed that this is probably more than fair from the Celtics' perspective, and they'll be in second apron hell either way. James Posey probably would have went for $20M a year after the 2008 championship in today's numbers. In any case, good on the Grousbecks for going out of their way to keep a title winning team together on their way out, and letting whichever hedge fund turbo-cokehead buys the team figure it out when things start getting hairy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 New Clippers arena looks great and congrats to them for having a nice thing for once. Though also, hilarious to me that they built a ginormous parking garage attached to it, across the street from an absolute sea of parking lots for SoFi and the old Forum. Never change, LA.

Who owns them though? If they build their own, they control the revenue that it generates (and I assume they're smart enough to calculate break-even) rather than having to cut a deal to lease someone else's lot or pay someone else some percentage of revenue.

Yes, I'm sure Kroenke and Ballmer wouldn't want to cut a deal if they don't have to. Kind of sad for that to be an efficient and profitable use of space in such a dense city (by California standards) and kind of a sad statement at the same time both of these venues are getting publicity as part of the "the first car-free Olympic Games", or so they say.

The_Admiral Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 The Intuit Dome looks pretty cool. Very steep seating bowl, which is nice. I hope this doesn't spell the end of the Forum across the street, because the way that went from being a forgotten old building to a good-as-new concert venue was a welcome change of pace.

I don't think it will since Ballmer owns the Forum as well. Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."
