With this franchise, it comes down to one thing.  Money.  That's all that the owner George Shinn cares about.  When he moved the Hornets out of Charlotte to New Orleans, he did it because he thought that it would generate more income.  When they played poorly the attendance dropped.  After the hurricane came, he probably saw this as another big opportunity to relocate and picked Oklahoma City because of their interest in the team.  Don't be surprised if they stay in Oklahoma City because of attendance.

Entering their 42nd season of ownership, Abe and Irene Pollin hold the distinction of being the longest tenured owners in the National Basketball Association. Since becoming owners in 1964, the Pollins have watched the NBA become the standard by which all other professional sports leagues are measured, exploding in growth from a small, regional league to a worldwide presence on the business landscape. \nIn their distinguished career, Abe and Irene Pollin have been at the center of every major issue in the NBA during their time at the helm of the Washington Bullets/Wizards. In 1978, they reached the pinnacle of the NBA as their Bullets, behind the play of Wes Unseld, Elvin Hayes and Bob Dandridge, defeated Seattle and brought a World Championship to Washington. \n\nAs the majority owners of Washington Sports & Entertainment Limited Partnership, the Pollins oversee the operations of the Washington Wizards and the Washington/Baltimore TicketMaster, in-house promoter Musicentre Productions, and the management of Verizon Center (formerly known as MCI Center) and the George Mason University Patriot Center.

The public would have screamed.  "ARE YOU GUYS FREAKING IDIOTS.  YOUR TALLEST PLAYER IS NOW 6'9" AND YOU HAVE TWO STAR SHOOTING GUARDS.  WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?"  Everyone likes to talk mess about the decision to pass on Jordan, but in reality if you were the Blazer GM at that time you would have made the same decision.  They needed a center, Clyde was their star shooting guard.  You would be an idiot not to pick Bowie...at that time of course.

Kudos to the person who pointed out that Kidd is bi-racial, and add Bibby to that list as well. To whomever suggested Christian Laettner, you must not have seen him play since the UK-Duke buzzer beater that broke my heart in 1992. He's been a bust and a stiff ever since. I'll side with the guy who said Brad Miller, since he's one of the best at his position period (the hardest position to find in the NBA, no less), and would have to be at least top-5 in a list of American-born, white, active players.

They were on the Toronto Raptors together at one time. McGrady was still a very young player and was over shadowed by Carter's success. When he went to the Magic, he had his own stage and became a great player.

Ok, here's what went wrong with the Knicks. Even though I'm not a Knick fan, I live in the tri-state and have diagnosed this ordeal. It all begins when the Knicks traded P-Ew to the Sonics for Vin Baker, when P-Ew was slated to be a free agent in the off season. Instead of letting him walk and using the cap space, they took on Baker's enormous contract and have since then, accumilated more bloated contracts trying to win now. What they need to do is trade away some of the pieces that don't fit. Now we're working with Larry Brown's philosophy, Thomas' ability to get who the Knicks want and Dolan's wallet. The first thing to do is get a point guard who'll distribute first and score second. What I do is a sign and trade with the Nuggets for Andre Miller and Julius Hodge and give up Stephon Marbury. Two, you need to adress the plethora of wing players (Rose, Richardson, Woods). Take the two you want and the other is expendable. Or maybe just one. Rose's expiring deal after next year is attractive. And you want and need a defensive three man. Your answer could be in the form of another trade with Portland for Darius Miles. He was injured most of the year, but with LB, he can be a defensive gem. You could then parlay either Richardson or Crawford for depth at the four or five. Your future is now staked in the youth movement (Lee, Robinson, Frye) and those should remain there. Curry is an enigma, and has yet to realize his "potential" as he's not a good rebounder to be 6'11" and 280. So you need another big to get it done on the boards. You could turn Crawford and Taylor into someone who's a hard worker on the glass and some more depth. We look to the Sonics for Danny Fortson and the former son of longtime Knicks great, Gerald, Damien Wilkens. And finally, you turn Stevie Franchise into draft picks from a team in need of a point man.

You guys are all drunk. He does not own a team...although he wanted to Coach the Blazers, but they hired Mr. Sonic instead.

It's definelty NOT going to be Larry Brown as everyone in the National Media who knows nothing about local teams is telling people.  Larry Brown is no longer considered for the Kings job.  The Maloofs have interviewed 3 guys, and it sounds like it will be one of the 3.  Eric Mussleman, Mario Elie, and the current Monarchs coach Jon Whisenant who his the front runner to get the gig.  As a Kings fan, I am pulling for Musselman or Elie.  I guess I am a little biased, but I just don't think a coach from the WNBA with no NBA coaching experience can come into this situation and be successful, but I hope I'm wrong.  Ron Artest and Bonzi Wells!  There are a lot of different egos on this team and a coach trying to go from female players to the NBA I beleive is a disaster waiting to happen.  But hopefully everything will work out for them next year.  Go Kings!

Partial Ownder of the Nets i believe.  Which means he owns it with some other big wigs.  Also, just some more info on that, i believe he is somewhat trying to move the team from NJ to Brooklynn, NY.

I am 40 years old and len bias is the best college basketball player that I have ever seen. Yes and that include MJ. Len bias was suppose to carry the touch when larry bird retired. Boston would have won more championships if bias would have played and yes boston would have been in good shape today. Bias death set boston back for years.
