I have a feeling Prokhorov or whatever his name is who owns the Nets will buy them, would make sense since both will be playing in the Barcalys.

Wang's reported asking price - $300 million.

Pretty steep for a franchise valued at less than $200M by Forbes and hasn't turned a profit in at least 9 years (as far back as Forbes shows) despite consistently having one of the lowest payrolls in the league.

Dear Wang:

How's our SportsHoopla hockey team savings account coming? I've got a few Benjamins I could donate.

Not a good time for me. "Ghost Fart" is in turnaround. My money is tied up in the"High Fives!" restarant chain hoping to get it off the ground. "Taco Casbah" fell apart after some band I wont name wouldnt let us use a certain song I wont name.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Please sell the team ASAP!! I can't take the MISERY anymore!!

I've got a few bucks saved up, are they contractually committed to Brooklyn? If not I'd like to move them into the arena in Trenton where my late lamented Titans used to play.

If they have to go to Brooklyn screw it. Haven't had to go there since my wife's grandparents passed and I don't want to start now!
