I don't actually know, but I'm guessing Kevin wasn't alive/aware of what was going on in 1970.

Not so long as you treated all incumbent cities equally.

I hadn't heard that, but it makes sense.

It's now been extended to 2017, but they've said they won't extend it further.

That market seems lukewarm on the NBA at best now.

Yeah, putting up $1.23 billion, plus promising to pay into revenue sharing doesn't sound like that great a business decision from a pure profit perspective.

Yeah, whoever wrote that doesn't really know anything about anything.

Mayor Moncrief, Mayor Smits and Mayor Bogues might have something to say about that.

It's also a great time to do it because NBC and Fox are both trying to compete directly with ESPN.

Hey, we gave you an option.

Those are more similar to the Griz than I thought.

Failure of the city, I think.

Telling other people what to think is not just stating your positive opinion.

The problem with that to me is that it assumes Stern has a heart.

They're not stuck in Sacto if nothing works out.
Commented on Can't Get No Satisfaction...Yet... on May 20 2013, 4:29p
I disagree. Side by side the Sacto deal is good for the NBA because of the extortion of public funds.

I though the deal seemed horribly doomed when I thought DTP was a vacant lot.

I like how he calls out other reporters for their bias when he's clearly biased in favour of Hunter.

Vancouver isn't going to do anything for your TV deal, unfortunately.

They've said they won't renew the Bradley Centre lease past 2017.

The Silnas will never ever ever ever agree to any amendment to that deal.

Yeah, there's a reason he had back problems. He was a fat tub of goo.

I doubt HBNW are thinking about changing the deal in Seattle at all.

Directly declining the sale is easier, HBN needed 23 votes.

Well, that's a nice theory and all. But it ain't the plan.

It was a bit easier to pull that off when the NFL had 13 teams and the NBA had 9.

I sure hope so, but I don't think it's very realistic right now.

I disagree; the money motivation is public financing for arenas.

I think the threat of contraction was nothing more than lockout rhetoric.

Said it in the other thread, but the privately funded arena is a negative for the NBA.

Privately funded is a huge negative for them.

None of us have seen the PSA, so none of us know, but it's entirely possible that was a term of the contract.

That's actually a very likely scenario, I think.

Same way it played out in Vancouver.
