The controversial billionaire is calling it quits in the NBA. That's why you want to sell a sinking ship if you hire GM Billy King as the guy who assigns and writes the cheques.

We are not going to take any assets from this team, only considering Rihanna's nipples...

*Moderator, please move this to the Let's NBA bin, I made a BOO BOO*

[mike, prague]

Nah ... let that ship plummet with Rihanna and her nipples tied up to one of the ships masts ... frickin illuminati satanistic scum.

I guess so. Non alcoholic vodka is billion dollar idea. Wait until 2040... I'll buy the RAPTORS.

Then you can sell high-alcoholic beer at the ACC. Circle of life

This is not a basketball decision.

The Russian Ruble has dropped 45% relative to US dollar.

Russians have also been cut off from western banks for financing needs (I'm not sure how this would relate to the league line of credit available to NBA owners).

Every dollar spent and event dollar of interest has increased 45% for ownership,

This is straight business - nothing more.


But King is awful.

They should relocate the team to New Jersey....

And rename themselves the New Jersey Nets. An entire rebrand

I like it. We can have our logo all to ourselves again.

Depends on what the New Jersey rebrand looks like. If it looks cool we should steal that.

It's not really stealing if the font is different....

....and if Drake likes it.

And he's going to make some filthy profit with the sale. Man, it's so hard to make ridiculous profit when you're filthy rich already. Build a new stadium, get some over the hill stars by mortgaging teams future, rebrand the team to be sexy... and profit.

I wonder if abramovich will consider selling Chelsea fc too considering the state of Russia's economy.
