Drafted with the first overall pick by the one-season-old Milwaukee Bucks franchise in the 1969 NBA draft, he spent six seasons with the team. After leading the Bucks to their first NBA championship at age 24 in 1971, he took the Muslim name Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Silver explained during a nearly hour-long press conference that the recent announcement about the sale of the Boston Celtics is a "major transaction relative to expansion" and suggested that once the league finishes vetting that deal it would entertain the process. However, he added that he's had a "bit of pause" regarding local television and media rights regarding how it relates to future expansion.
AKA, we know our ratings are horrible and are concerned about future media rights deals and how much our revenues are going to go down.
I remember listening to every gayme I could on KJR, including the pre and post game shows.
When the Sonics lost to a bad Kings team ca. 1989, I absolutely lost it and threw a fit. Probably cried too.
I can't remember the last time I watched a full NBA game. It was probably during the scamdemic, since we were really sports starved. Even then, I watched more NHL playoffs.
Gotta make you wanker Bloozers on here sweat a little.
FWIW, Jody Allen is from Seattle and already turned Uncle Phil down once. Would be pretty hilarious if she turns him down again for a Seattle-based group.
Fuck Portland in general, but I wouldn’t support stealing the Blazers. The Sonics leaving killed my interest in the NBA, and I don’t want to see that happen to another city, even one I loathe.
Eh I'm pretty confident that Knight or whoever is going to step in as a civic duty thing since it's the only pro team in the state. Jodie isn't doing anything she wants, she's just executing what Paul Allen a massive bloozer who was constantly in the luxury cap mandated before he died.
The reason for them not selling before was that due to the complexity of his estate they needed a lot more time and jumped the gun.

Or as Coach Wooden called him "Lewis".
Hard to say

Still not coming back. NBA now building an independent league in Europe.

Dallas wins the lottery and Cooper Flagg will be a star in Vegas eventually when the Mavs move there
The NBA was less fixed when Tim Donaghy was calling games.
🤣🤣🤣
Bye bye, Portland.
😅
This actually just opens the door for Phil to buy the team like he wanted to ~5 years ago.
I wouldn't advise the Blazers move to Seattle.
First big that arrives there will promptly get a career ending knee injury

I think that NBA teams that have actually wanted to sell are simply trying to do it before they do get to 32 teams.
They're still meeting this summer to discuss adding Seattle and Vegas.
Or adding a team in Mexico City and another in London.
I think they were also waiting for the Celtics sale to finalize and move the market value way up for a second/third tier market team
