2017 NBA OFFSEASON

I will say flat earth stuff is an amusing google rabbit hole to fall into if you want to gaze upon truly elaborate stupidity

there are some great infographics for sure

am I to understand the ilh hivemind position is that the world is spherical? interesting.

lot of spherecucks on here

Kyries opinions were indeed eclipsed by Lebrons in the past so now that he is freeI am ready to receive the true light.

its a hyperbolic plane imo

frustum imo

i have a feeling we're not going to really like kyrie's political opinions. i bet he's a libertarian

lol rough http://nba.nbcsports.com/2017/09/01/have-people-around-bulls-turned-gar-formans-name-into-slang-for-bad-gm-moves/

had forgotten abt that bulls nuggs trade lol did not turn out great

derek fisher is going on dancing w/ the stars btw

perfect

he will be competing with weird twitter personality Frankie Muniz

they should do a stunning dance together

Should have Matt Barnes on there too

he shd pop out in the middle of the routine like hes gonna murder fish but then start dancing

A classic gif in the waiting

firing up the ol trade machine

impossible unless they move horford for him

too bad drummond doesnt defend he wld be such an amazing player

rockets sold for a cool $2.2B. don't know if the ilh consortium could have topped that.

i've never heard of the buyer but looks like he's a houston native who has had a hand in all the houston pro teams at different times.

i think it's lagoon

dipped into my rainy day fund

it's actually me and i will personally ensure that chris paul gets a ring

lol

and wow thats a lot of money

ballmer must feel better

Smart move to accumulate big name all-stars during the off-season, then sell high before anyone knows how well they'll play together. In Wall Street this strategy is known as pump-and-dump.

apparently this is like almost all of this guys money hes going all in lol

he's gonna cut CP first thing, gotta avoid that repeater tax.

he'll sell it for 10 billion in 20 years prob xp

idk, hard to see tv revenue going up after they come off this current deal

espn is gonna be 50% esports by then

hm that may be the most old man thing i have said to date

mba valuations r purely based on a how much wld a rich guy to pay for a toy ratio

apparently this is like almost all of this guys money hes going all in lol

i assume he's financing this? like ballmer could pay cash but that's a whole different league of rich.

if u spend 70% of yr net worth (reported figure) on a $2.2b basketball team its chill cause u still have another billion dollars

i would assume so which could put us in the humorous situation of a bank owning the houston rockets in a couple of years when this guy defaults on the interest payments lol xp

idk why that would happen, he's a restaurant/casino guy, seems fairly legit

if u enjoy drama then u will wish for his failure

think casinos have been pretty down recently (big restrictions in china to control outflow of capital is killing macau, ~millennials~ are killing las vegas) buying something that's 70% of your net worth seems like a big elephant to swallow and i doubt any banks would lend to him without a security interest

a boring life: a very rich man makes prudent decisions with his assets and continues to be rich as fuck

a good life: a very rich man puts all his assets into a single investment and ignorantly destroys it

a good and just world: every billionaire is hacked of their wealth and the nba players start a splinter league that is about pure hoops bliss

xp sure. i just don't know why this guy's finances, which have at this point been vetted by the nba, are any less precarious than several other owners. yeah the valuation of the team makes a difference but i'm just not seeing it.

other owners prob bought their franchises when valuations were much lower for one thing

yes, idk if the phil group or mem group or mil group would have been able to buy today; it's almost like this guy is more qualified

why are we not sitting in a circle praying for the downfall of the wealth class yet

there's a big diff between servicing idk $500m of debt vs $2.2 billion of debt if the underlying revenue streams haven't really kept up with the valuation. i mean i assume it all works on paper right now but i also gotta assume that the lenders have the protection they need

unrelatedly, digging around, found this, lol: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2017/01/27/how-lebrons-cavaliers-lost-an-nba-high-40-million-last-season/#2ef376317699

xp well praying wouldn't get us very far for one thing

not when you pray to the christian god, tuh
