2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

Iggy and Evan Turner being best friends is hilarious for some reason

They are both Philly underachievers so it fits

I know he will try and will make major moves outside of basketball, but I just don't think he will be able to get a team with the way prices are jumping for teams. Plus the limited supply and demand from other billionaires wanting teams

I think that's why he kinda pressed for Nike to give him his own Bron Brand like MJ has. He needs him gigantic Nike checks too.

I think mans has to get really lucky to get a team.

Pelicans

bron has minority ownership in liverpool and the boston red sox

and will arguably be the best basketball player ever when its all said and done

the nba will surely put him in a position to own a team as a majority owner

1/3 is wrong

Any smoke on Walls Fargo to the Clippers ?

part of me doesn’t understand why since them needing a Point been over exaggerated.
But then again you can play wall and Reggie together in the interim until kawhi comes back

 

[pums]

Evan Turner’s voice is perfect for his humor

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Bill Russel being an elite athlete despite growing up in the leaded gasoline, high air pollution, pre civil rights america

is an underrated achievement.

 

[RustyShackleford]

The Timberwolves sold for 1.5 billion

The new TV deal has not even been worked out yet

Bron might still have some major earning to do to get enough for a majority ownership

So if he gets a team, I think the stars gotta align for him in a major way

 

[pums]

Rockets ain’t trading wall. The clippers stuff won’t happen cause wall sucks and the rockets don’t want to have to pay kennard for the next 3 years.

we been elite athletes in every era. Elite everything. It’s just what we do

LeBron just has to get cushy with the right people like Dwyane Wade did.

 

[pums]

Tillman loaned the last few hundreds of millions to buy the rockets LeBron can probably do the same should the rare opportunity to buy a team comes around

Will Klutch/Rich Paul play a factor in how buddy-buddy he can get with the higher ups?

he going to be cool with minority ownership? Doesn’t seem like a Bron business move.

Ego is at play, so who knows. But to a majority owner, that's a lot of money to front.

Can't be any worse than CAA and the Knicks for all these years.

Bron will own the Lakers the day after he retires, if not sooner. Pretty sure that was part of the agreement when he signed there.

and with income inequality there are way more billionaires than their use to be.

he would need some insanely fortunate circumstances or really hit on some investments, or the league to really grease the wheels for him to make that happen.

 

[trynafeelmink]

NBA would love nothing more than one of their biggest superstars ever owning a team… if Bron really wants that I would assume he’ll have a lot of support

Mario Lemieux is the owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins because;

while he was playing the team was so dysfunctional they needed him to defer 32 million over the course of his career in order to keep up with payroll.

when they finally went bankrupt he was the biggest creditor and because franchise values were so low he converted that 32 million to a majority stake,

also the league wanted to rebuild faith in that market so they wanted Mario to be the new owner,
they kinda leaned on everyone and cleared the field of bidders to make sure it happened,


basically none of that could happen today.

Wow that’s crazy. I didn’t know nhl teams were going bankrupt like that. I don’t follow hockey at all

 

[Zo gif]

 

[osh kosh bosh]

it's not talked about in USA becuase it's hockey

but Mario converting 32 mill in salary into eventually owning the team is a Bobby Bonilla level come up.

franchise probably worth 600-700 million now
