He's not actually trying to sell, he's just saying that IF someone would offer him lots of $$, he'd think about it.

Unlike the Hawks who are actually trying to sell and soon _________________ Kobe |

I dont know why news networks keep parroting the falling ruble thing, is it just a play on patriotic nonsense amongst its customers?
His business is commodities, falling local currency is good for that business (since your assets are valued in USD and your liabilities are valued in your local currency), it's the falling commodity prices that are hurting his business. _________________ I believe everything the media tells me except for anything for which I have direct personal knowledge, which they always get wrong |

Typical business move.
Buy in the old CBA.
See market values of franchises have soared in new CBA.
Sell before another CBA comes in and prices begin to steady or dip even.
He's a liar, because he promised the franchises fans a championship and a commitment to winning in 5 years. But it's typical business man move. |

I don't get the Hawks though, the team has been amazing this season. Why cause a distraction by trying to sell the team right now? _________________ New Beginings |

I'm here in Atl and I can tell you the only reason pepole get Hawks tickets is to see the other teams star players. Remember the game earlier ... thier were more lakers fans then hawks.. actually I don't think their were any
I assume part of the reason is even if the Hawks make it to the finals they will get demolished by whomever comes out the west. Also they don't have a transcended star player that people care for. Actually they haven't since DW. |

Man oh man did that gigantic commie screw that franchise over. They're bad now, have crippling contracts, and don't own their own 1st round pick until 2019.
And he's gonna walk away with a huge ROI. God Bless America. |

His share in the Arena is a minority share although a large one...45%.
Ratner is a majority owner in the Barclays center at 55%.
Either way the Russian will make bank even with the Nets in its depleted state. He got quite a bargain for the Nets when you look at the team's value around the league have skyrocketed since then. |

This is the reason for the sale:
Quote: | Richest Russians Repatriate Assets After Putin Turns Tax Screw
President Vladimir Putin is pushing harder on Russia’s richest citizens to repatriate offshore assets amid a slump in the ruble and the imposition of sanctions by the U.S. and the European Union.
Under new tax rules signed into law by a presidential decree in November, Russian residents will from this year pay a tax of 13 percent on earnings reported by foreign companies and trusts they control. Should authorities prove those entities are managed from Russia and don’t have significant assets or employees abroad, the tax rate increases to 20 percent. |

They had an embarrassing attendance record for quite a number of years of DW's early career at that. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

I have 37 bucks. What you got on you, Oregon? Maybe we can go in on this venture together. If you have more than 50, you get the controlling stake. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL
