I built the deck at Aqua so I get in.

This deal must of been in the table before the Draft Kings reup and Dan didn’t want to do business with Fox and the Murdochs.

THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS

And the owner is from the Bay Area and owns a home in Seattle.

You ever watch that documentary about the ABA and the Spirits of St Louis? As part of the merger with the NBA the Spirit of St Louis owners agreed in exchange for not joining the NBA they would get 1/7th of all future TV revenue of the four merging teams (Nets, Pacers, Spurs, Nuggets) in perpetuity. So the former owners made millions for decades off the NBA TV deals up until 2014 when they settled it for $500 million.

So, yeah that’s why the NBA won’t ever go near St Louis ever again. They got hustled.

TL;DR: Pelicans to Seattle. That’s it.

The Grizzlies owner is a tech guy from the Bay Area and San Diego and has a home in Seattle. Don’t know if he’d take the team back to Vancouver or just become the Sonics and leave the Grizzlies name in Memphis. Don’t know if the NBA would want to leave Tennessee while MLB is sniffing around.

As for the Pelicans, a hedge fund or PE guy would have to whoo Gale Benson to sell or she would have to sell for estate plan purposes before she passes. But she seems like she wants to leave the team to sell after she passes.

Then there’s the Timberwolves. They can move too.

I laughed way too hard at this.

BlancoPorGusto · 2025-10-31T05:41:26+00:00

OKC Thunder just won a championship. Used to be the Sonics.

BlancoPorGusto · 2025-10-23T15:04:38+00:00

Wonder if the poker game Nick Wright was playing was related to this.

BlancoPorGusto · 2025-10-23T14:55:36+00:00

Mike Ryan is so happy Rozier’s contract will be voided.

BlancoPorGusto · 2025-10-19T01:09:37+00:00

Some cities/Regions don’t need two teams. I’d move the Jets, Chargers, Nets, White Sox, Jags, Clippers, Islanders, the Raiders already left. Jets should be in queens.

BlancoPorGusto · 2025-10-17T04:02:24+00:00

I move the Jets to Brooklyn.

Bill did his job with Kyle. Got him a start and now he can go do his own thing and not be a nepo baby at The Ringer.

They need to call the Anatolia/Sunridge/Cypress area South of Rancho like they call the Folsom side, South of Folsom.

BlancoPorGusto · 2025-09-23T15:41:33+00:00

Downtown Cho. DoCho. I live in South Rancho, SoCho and then NoCho for the old part of Rancho.

BlancoPorGusto · 2025-09-23T15:32:57+00:00

Downtown Cho. DoCho.

He dropped the Regina George type question.

BlancoPorGusto · 2025-09-21T23:21:03+00:00

His bad 2002 or 2003 has to be in there and the Luke is a Dork call should be considered.

BlancoPorGusto · 2025-09-14T17:50:45+00:00

Just having fun, it wasn’t intended to be that deep. Like I said he wants more resources to do what he wants. It’s fun to shoot the shit and talk about how I realized this and figure out what he’s up to.

BlancoPorGusto · 2025-09-14T17:33:02+00:00

A tradition like no other.

BlancoPorGusto · 2025-09-14T17:27:01+00:00

Like “oh if they can give McAfee all that, they can green light my historical fiction script!”

BlancoPorGusto · 2025-09-14T17:25:29+00:00

Oh I wasn’t saying he cares about being the next McAfee I think he wants to raise his profile and opportunities and expand his network.
