We'll see on May 9

I also predict the winner of Barca/Arsenal will take the CL. But that's because they're my favs...

At the end of the day, I'm sure you're right. I don't think Cleveland will beat LA, and that just might have him walking towards the (money) light. I also agree that he has in his head to out-do Jordan when it comes to being a Brand, and he simply can't do that in Cleveland. Even Bone Thugs ditched Cleveland and moved to Cali

A lot of teams go into more and more debt by purchasing big-time players, which maybe pay off a little bit. We're getting under the radar players who end up producing basically the same, while spending money where it's more likely to pay off, while at the same time retaining a huge fan base that will buy up any ticket available.

I'm not in the board meetings or anything, but that's basically what I've read/heard/seen.

thanks for info. I guess in the end not unlike our MLB NFL NBA somehow they must pay out a little in the end. These high end owners can't always use these teams as write-offs year in and year out.

I was surprised to read the Nets have more money than any other NBA team. I know the Yankees in New York kill everyone in TV rev's so maybe they follow suit. Who knows. I until now had forget the Nets existed.
