Timeline of the Los Angeles Clippers sale to billionaire with a B Steve Ballmer
The Clippers are being sold for $2 billion with a B. All the self proclaimed internet experts say a move of the Clipper to Seattle will never happen because you don’t spend $2 billion to get an LA Market team to move them to the smaller Seattle market. Yes, it is a risky if not crazy business move but if you put down your econ 101 book and look at this sale it might just be perfect.
1. You have an owner that is worth $20+ billion with a B.
2. You have an owner that can spend $2 billion with a B on a team and not blink
3. LA is a Lakers town that is a Fact. Always will be Always has been.
4. No one will care if you move the Clippers because well no one cares about Billy Crystal’s feelings and everyone else in LA will just be like Lakers still here right and go ok.
5. Seattle needs to be back in the NBA and back with a very rich owner is an even better scenario.
6. Steve Ballmer was the man that tried to bring Seattle a team but failed once before so why wouldn’t he try it again.
7. Ballmer can pay whatever the Staples Center wants to get of the lease.
8. The NBA can sell an expansion LA NBA team in a nano second with a premium added to the sale price
9. It wipes the Clippers name and Sterling memory from the NBA
10. If you are worth $20+ billion with a B you don’t have to play by the rules
11. The Sonics name is back in basketball
12. Macklemore designed uniforms
I know the team would be named the Sonics but I still thought it would be fun to Sonic up the Clippers logo
