monkeypower Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 What's wrong with new ownership moving the Clippers to Seattle??? Los Angeles: 2nd Largest Market (Staples Center)Seattle: 12th Largest Market (No new arena yet)I think not.Seattle can have the Bucks or an expansion team.Couldn't the Clippers move to Anaheim and maintain the Los Angeles title like the Angels do? I have never been a fan of teams being the little brother in their own stadium (Lakers are still the main team in Staples as far as I am concerned).I'm not sure if theu could move to Anaheim and keep Los Angeles name. IIRC after the Angels name change, the Honda Center created a clause saying that any team playing in the arena had to use Anaheim as the name.But the LA Kiss AFL team plays there and is LA, so I don't know.

dfwabel Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Don't most commissioners have legal backgrounds? I would think that's kind of a pre req for the position. That, or they have the best legal advisors money can buy sitting right next to them at all times. I would think this has all been discussed, and they have plans for every scenario. They may have even reached out to her already for a pulse check.While the community property thing could make this extremely messy and drawn out, my guess is that once she sees that she stands to pocket at least half a BILLION dollars, she'll let go of her claim to the team.It's one thing to want to own a pro sports team, it's another thing to turn down a metal briefcase with (at least) $500,000,000 in it. Both Stern and Silver were attorneys at the start of their professional career, and Bettman was befriended by Stern while working in a private legal practice. Goodell's pops was a US Senator. But being an attorney by trade does not make you all-knowing in every law in every state/jurisdiction. Plus, as nervous as Silver was talking about Donald, he failed to mention her, and the NBA also knew about her in this process/their business dealings.

The_Admiral Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I think everyone is happy with the whole Los Angeles Clippers situation with the exception of the virulent racist who owns the team. The team in that situation is going to sell for up to a billion dollars! They're not moving to Seattle, they're not moving to Anaheim. I don't care if it makes your OCD flare up to have 30 teams in 29 arenas. They're staying there. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike and Mike's math made the difference b/t estate taxes only and estate+capital gains as closer to 200 million. That is assuming he doesn't reinvest the money. With his background in Real Estate, he could easily invest most of that money into other projects, and defer the taxes.What's wrong with new ownership moving the Clippers to Seattle???

Plus their lease runs for another ten years, and to get out of the lease is easily going to cost tens of millions this early into the lease.As stated before, the Clippers make money hand over fist at the Staples Center currently, even when they aren't winning games. It would be silly to jeopardize that revenue just to move down the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil G Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The next NBA owner to be taken out is the owner of the Houston team – he is against gay marriage.I don't think a person who raised money for John Kerry would be against gay marriage.
