Not sure they’re worse than the Sarvers and Sterlings of yesteryear.

No one can afford it anymore. Its just for the billionaires to add to their portfolio now.

Because they’re the only people with these absurd sums of money. They’re the only ones willing to forego any notions of “moral earnings” to make as much money as possible.

There are few actually decent billionaires.

I know he has more good will than some others because he’s been burning cash to at least try to compete, but can’t forget Ishbia!

Not my goat Marc Lore tho, he just makes weird start ups that no one asked for

Cant forget the devos family either

The Grizzlies owner is currently selling equipment to the Russian military and no one seems to know or care

Idk if it’s this decade or next but I feel like a massive 2008 GFC is going to happen again

Yeah I’m so confused why mark walters and co would only own the team for a year? Seems fishy

How is this money laundering? Money laundering doesnt work if everyone can see all the money going in . When you launder mpney you surreptitiously mix in dirty money into a clean money stream. Here everyone can see the all the dollars going in.

(It might be corruption though)

*is a money laundering scheme

Really don’t think the NBA would risk that to help this guy launder billions. They have teams of people that work to verify funding sources before team sales specifically to avoid shit like that

Stern was a mob boss

Silver is like a politician who turns a blind eye to organized crime

David Stern would love the Kushners, let’s not lie

Yeah, the guy that let a racist slum lord own a team for 30 years would NEVER let anything shady like this happen

How old are some of yall bc this shit would have 150% happened under stern lol

Yes he would lol

Lmao Stern gave zero fucks. I don’t know why people would think that Stern would be against team valuations going higher? He didn’t to shit about Sterling when he was found civilly liable for discrimination, you think he gave a fuck?

The revisionist history of David Stern on this sub is astounding lol. People forget what kind of a dirtbag he was

Stern would not disallow a 12b sale of a team.

Stern would not disallow a 12b sale of a team (unles stheir were issues with the financing, which seems unlilely here).I am not even sure he could unilaterally. IIRC its an ownership vote that decides whether a sale is approved

He didn’t introduce cryptofaacists because billionaires werent (at least not openly) cryptofascists at the time. Also, he had no issues with people like Sterling.

No

Contracts signed don’t just disappear when you sell a company. You buy the obligations too.

Ask bricks and mini figs.

Her role is to pack up asap

Who gives a shit at this point

She’d fit the type of that fat orange fuck, if she was 13 years old. She’s in her 50‘s or 60‘s.

So short answer: no

As a Disney shareholder and Star Wars fan, I hate Bob Iger.

Mortimer Mouse

Luka gonna have a secret deal with Lockheed Martin. First athlete with an ICBM named after him.

Also, to anyone saying ‘well it’s his inlaws’.

The Kushner family made and makes it’s fortune across multiple generations by being awful snakey rat bastards just as the President’s family has.

They are birds of a feather.

Someone said he sold his stakes in that. At this point I don’t know what to believe

Well, there’s Ballmer. Lol. 

Someone said he might be a front for Saudi ownership which would make sense since I saw the Saudis and one of the brothers bought EA sports for $55b

He’s Jared Kushner’s younger brother.

It’s pretty crazy that you can just hobnob make connections and then fundraise from those rich people, hold everyone’s money and then just make investments in things that in some cases are already popular like Instagram’s B series funding and then become worth billions of dollars over a short period of time

That honestly is kinda worse

No but they don’t all own the lakers do they

The Buss family weren’t billionaires

Real fraud, not NBA fraud.

Presidential Pardon incoming 

Sold for 12B, but what he really agreed to is 2B

Wow I wonder if Ohtani will be magically available next season.

Josh Kushner’s net worth is an estimated 5.2 billion.

Luka’s career NBA earnings (pre-tax) are 198 million. Then there is his shoe contract, his Real Madrid earnings and general sponorships. Which even those estimated wouldn’t get him close to a Kushner.

The average joe is closer to Luka’s net worth than Luka is to Josh Kushner lmfao. But that’s the power of billions. It’s so ludicriously high, nobody should have it realistically.

Surely Donnie can give some money of his anti-weaponization/slush fund.

I’m well aware, but they are still related and no doubt his hand is in here somewhere
