cool.

and please, by all means, don't ever tell us where you took this information. don't you dare.

I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but I have a family member in Arizona who does a lot of business with the team. He has connections there.

Everyone knows it's a big joke, but the owner wants to keep the team there because of sports gambling licenses.

They are also under the belief that if there is no arena deal by January then they're moving to Utah.

Bettman promised the prospective owner a team through relocation or expansion.

all new to me.

and i know atlanta has "failed" twice but once was way too early and the other was just poopty ownership issues for the most part.

the reason why i could see it happening again is because of atlanta' thriving black owned businesses. imo, for it to work the majority owner, at the very least, would need to african-american.

in the sense that it is quite large untapped market, i can see the attractiveness from a business standpoint.

not with the new expansion rules.

which kinda suck but when you are buying in for roughly 3/4 of a billion, you want some commodities to market.

still depends on how the new ownership and management makes their picks, and who's actually made available at the time. but yeah you're right they have a more decent shot than in the past.

now atlanta clearly likes bird names with the falcons, hawks, and thrashers so they'll be the atlanta boat-tailed grackle this time.

i looked it up. very common bird in georgia.

well, unless they are complete morons, there is kinda a blueprint for them

and if the rules are the same, teams are left little choice but to make some decent players available.

unless you are in the bottom of the league, then its "do we have to pick one of those guys"?
