In 1994 Minnesota was denied a sale and relocation to New Orleans based on shaky financing. Nobody here would have any reason to believe shaky financing is at the root of the Hansen-Ballmer group. But what we can take from this are 1.) A team has been denied relocation while being forced to sell local (and set precedent) 2.) Two teams have been denied relocation, and 3.) Relocation is a last resort for any team due to market instability. So even if the Hansen-Ballmer group win out is it really a guarantee that they can relocate? Many have pledged in the grassroots HereWeBuy effort and it has risen into the 8 figures range. And there is an arena deal in place for whoever purchases the team.
It's really a tossup at this point.
In that same light, does Hansen really want to kick off his ownership with a lawsuit against the league?Yes, I'm sure Hansen hasn't thought this through at all. He's just handing over $30 million with no plan beyond that. The guy's only been working on this project meticulously for two years,.
Hansen take Stern to court? Over what?
I hope you're not refferring to the non-refundable 30 million..
Because Hansen has no case when everybody knows every sale is subject to NBA approval since it it a franchise, so a non-refundable deposit is irrelevent.
i didnt read it and i dont read basketball stuff on twitter
Expansion would be THE biggest lasting impression Stern could have before he retires. He expands the TV market share, and saves two awesome marketsThe era of ownership is very different, I agree that what you said about increasing team value and maximizing profit is the goal. But with this logic it means that every teams' fans in a smaller market than Sacramento should be very afraid of losing their team to a bigger market than theirs. Portland, Charlotte, Indianapolis, Salt Lake City, San Antonio, OKC, Memphis, and New Orleans are all smaller than us. Fans from those cities will all eventually lose their teams due to being smaller than Sacramento.

looking at your Ric Bucher
Haven't posted in here in a few days so sorry if already mentioned, but I just got a text from a friend of what was probably a tweet that mentions that the Hansen/Ballmer groups offer would boost the average NBA franchise value 30%. It's the biggest reason why the other owners want to approve it.

The Maloofs overlooking/ignoring/not publicizing a right of first refusal for minority owners, if true, would be just about right.
