Right. Only people who have nothing can be trusted.
They have nothing to lose.
So you always know what to expect.

Exactly what I am thinking - someone or a group with that kind of money - they will be dumber and more evil than Dolan.

I agree..i don't know about evil, but chances are, they will also be clueless.

Dumb article speaks to rising prices and thus it would be good to sell at what could be a market top.
To sell the Rangers, the building, and Knicks in one fell swoop to a private person is all too romantic but thats a big chunk of money.
Makes no sense to just sell knicks.
And to whom? Imagine if Trump owned it?
Or some other cash starved ego maniac?
A new owner won't change the past.
A new owner might be worse.
thats not a ringing endorsement, but as long as Jimmy lets Mills do his thing, I can live with this for now.
Be careful what you wish for sometimes.

Brooklyn got a billionaire, what did it get them?
The possibility that some Chinese billionaires buy the team and your new starting PG is...

This. Unfortunately true. With this price tag, the new owners would only be concerned with the bottom line. And that would not be basketball.

where is all the NBA Revenue coming from? TV & Cable contracts. And the next round will probably be flat or less. No guarantee, but could be.

As an NBA owner, you are still beholden to cable market.
