    Yeah, I don't think many people will start getting into the new team until we actually have some players, coach and such. But who knows that may not even help. Just not sure if we are an NBA city/area.

    There won't be the novelty this time around.

    The NBA couldn't really stop Shinnridge from moving the Hornets (only MLB with the anti-trust exemption can actually prevent teams from moving . . They prevented the SF Giants from moving to Tampa Bay in 1992). 8500 for 2 sucky ass NBA teams is probably better than expected to be honest; Which player on any of these teams gets U excited :confused: ? ?

    I am so excited about Bickerstaff.:rolleyes:

    sds, I know you are black, but it seems like Bob Johnson has constructed an entire front office of black men so far. Curry, Bickerstaff, Tapscott.......Do you think he will try and make the entire organization mostly black employees?

    Of course I am all for Curry, what a great person.

    I am just curious when Johnson will hire a white guy to an senior position. If his goal is to make this a mostly black organization, it will fail. He already has enough hurdles to win back the city.

    Wrong. Forgetting for a minute that relocations required a vote of the other owners, the NBA could have prevented them from moving by charging them a large relocation fee - which George couldn't, or wouldn't, have paid.

    Maybe you should chair some kind of commission to study the situation and then put some pressure on him to hire a white guy. You know. Threaten him with a loss of draft picks or something.
