Had no idea there was an NBA owner that rich.
Are there rules against owning multiple teams?
I'd buy two teams and mix and match pieces via trade between them to make em both great

Building a new arena. I remember hearing/seeing on the news the people in town weren’t fans
Edit:Vincent Van Goat hit on it, the gentrification issue as well as the usual traffic etc
I don't think there's a universal response. Plenty people are selling and are happy to do so. One old man who lives near me just gave me a goodbye the other day.
And the effects of gentrification hasn't really kicked in it. Inglewood still isn't a place where them type of folks wanna live. All that's desirable is this specific area going down to the 405. In the other direction, going towards the 110 and 105, it's still the same for the most part. I don't see this as gentrification. This is a rare case of a neighborhood just progressing. It may come. But at the moment, much hasn't changed. Now if we get a whole foods and a chic fil a on century then ima start tripping.

Kerr said if you sign on the dotted line you have to honor the contract until it finishes. But he didn’t bring up PG forcing a trade 1 year into a 4 year contract as “bad for the league” because he did it in the offseason
Kerr MAD this happened to Alvin Gentry.
Also:
Warriors been plotting on unibrow for a minute. They just mad they didn’t get him. If this EXACT situation benefited the Warriors, Kerr wouldn’t say ****. **** him.
That whole honoring the contract stuff is funny to me. Kerr sounds like he’s in his feels as if teams don’t trade players who don’t want to be traded pretty often.
On one end you’re supposed to honor the contract and ride it out, but at the same time if you get traded even though you settled down in that city, have your kids in school there etc, you’re supposed to just let it rock and go along with it.

iirc, there are like rules against this due to conflict of interests and to prevent the very scenario you presented
NBA would definitely turn into WWE immediately if they let cats own more than one team

Inglewood residents say they’ve scored a victory in their efforts to stop the construction of a Clippers arena on public land.
A Los Angeles County Superior judge issued a ruling today that will allow their lawsuit over the arena to proceed to trial. Residents are trying to stop construction by arguing that under the California Surplus Land Act, the land should have been shopped around as an affordable housing development site before it was ever eyed for an NBA arena.
“Today’s ruling is a step forward for our neighbors in Inglewood who are simply asking the city of Inglewood to follow California’s affordable housing laws,” says D’artagnan Scorza of Uplift Inglewood. “It simply does not make any sense to prioritize an NBA arena over the needs of Inglewood residents. Public land should be used for the public good.”
Last year, the Inglewood City Council entered into an exclusive negotiating agreement with Murphy’s Bowl, a Clippers-owned company, to build a new basketball arena on 22 acres of vacant city-owned land.
Attorneys for the residents say that Inglewood neglected to solicit proposals for affordable housing for the site before entering into an agreement to use the land for the arena.
But Inglewood Mayor James Butts has saidthat affordable housing was never an option for this property because it sits in LAX’s flight path and had been “deemed incompatible for housing.”
The property sits across the street from the under-construction, nearly $3 billion NFL stadium and the site of more than 200 acres slated to become a whole new neighborhood adjacent to the stadium, complete with a hotel, housing, retail, and park space.
The stadium isn’t yet complete but already Inglewood residents have felt the pressure that comes with having hot new attractions in the neighborhood, most visibly in the form of city-wide rising rents and increased evictions. Inglewood does not have rent control, though last month the city did enact a temporary measure to limit rent hikes and stop evictions.
The lawsuit also claims that Inglewood is ignoring additional state affordable housing laws that mandate that certain amounts of low-income housing be constructed within the city. Uplift Inglewood wants to compel the city to meet those thresholds and build more affordable units in Inglewood. The trial is set to move forward in September
Kinda shady how they tried to take the land.
kerr is def in his feelings because he's no longer the employee but part of management. its coming from only his perspective and that's with GM experience
ya'll talking about contracts being honored like the responsibilities are divided 50/50. its not. its not if the payroll is all coming from one guy and all the other guy has is "talent." its unequal but we all have our bosses who hold leverage

Maybe not desirable to live for new residents but you could probably expect rising property values price some folks out, especially low income/fixed income. Unless there’s rent control laws in the city...?
Also, if a chick-fil-a opened up in Carson I would be #1 in line three days early for that free food for a year special
Is this recent? The release of the renderings today by the clippers made it seem like the arena is on schedule to be built.

The Clippers and Inglewood officials did not give the public enough notice about a deal to build an NBA arena in the city, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office determined in a letter released today.
When the City Council voted to enter into an “exclusive negotiating agreement” with the owners of the Clippers in June 2017, it did not include in its meeting agenda a description about the location of the proposed arena or the scope of the project, according to Deputy District Attorney Bjorn Dodd.
“The deficiency of the agenda descriptions appears to have been part of concerted efforts between representatives of the city and the Murphy’s Bowl LLC to limit the notice given to the public,” Dodd wrote in the letter, dated May 17. Murphy’s Bowl is a Clippers-owned company.
The DA’s office found that the omissions amount to a violation of the Brown Act, California’s open meeting law. But Dodd said the complaint was received by the office too late to take action.
Had it been received on time, the City Council’s decision to enter into negotiations could have been deemed “null and void,” Dodd wrote.
A spokesperson for the DA’s office would not disclose when the complaint was filed or by whom.
In the letter, Dodd also notes that the agenda item didn’t even include the name “Clippers.” Instead, the agenda said the city was considering entering into negotiations with “Murphy’s Bowl LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company (Developer).”
Dodd said that “the generic name of Murphy’s Bowl LLC was used intentionally to obfuscate the identity of the proposed project.”
Additionally, the vote was set for a special meeting rather than a regularly scheduled meeting, reducing the time required to give public notice under the Brown Act from 72 hours to 24 hours before the meeting.
In a statement to the Los Angeles Times, an attorney representing the city said the district attorney’s letter “recycles a tired accusation that has been rendered irrelevant” and “there was no attempt by the city to circumvent the Brown Act or keep the public from providing its valuable input on the [exclusive negotiating agreement] With Murphy’s Bowl.”
But the letter might give ammunition to Madison Square Garden, which has has sued the city of Inglewood and accused it of secretly negotiating with the Clippers to build the arena on land that it once leased.
“These ‘concerted efforts” to deceive the public fly in the face of transparency and the principles of good government, and will be fully exposed in the trial of our lawsuit,” a MSG spokesperson said in a statement.
It’s not the only lawsuit the city faces over the proposed arena. Residents have also sued, arguing that the city should have tried to build affordable housing on the site before selecting it for an NBA arena.
Last month, a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge determined that the residents’ lawsuit should proceed to a trial.

I'll believe there's an arena when ground is broken. They've tried to be way too shady about the whole process.

It's from April but the trial is set for September. There's two lawsuits against it right now for trying to start the project without the public getting a chance to give their input

Even if they had the public meetings the city council would still vote unanimously for it because jobs and progress and tourism etc
Ballmer should just buy Inglewood and be done with it
