    Gives a whole new meaning to the term 'lottery.' I wonder if the team's value would have gone up had they won the rights to Griffin.

    He's looking for $330 mil, he's not going to get it. I'm going to have to hold off until there's a sale to get really happy about this news. Is Bob prepared to eat $30 mil to get out?

    I'd love to see the Charlotte Hornets again, but since Shinn is an asshole, I wouldn't hold my breath.

    Apparently Bob Johnson could not really afford to own an NBA team. The only high profile players they have ever signed have been through the draft or via trade. They have not been able to sign an all star caliber player since they started despite having all that cap space.
