Dude you don't even want me to get started on corgi's. They are ferocious! Russell needs to stay away from them.

These guys are minority owners for a reason, I seriously doubt any of these dudes have the money to become majority owners of the franchise, and no they can't get help from Burkle or Mastrov to take over the Maloof's controlling share.

My understanding is a little different. The 7% owner can sell his share to a big money guy. That big money guy has the inside track to buy the 60+% share from the Maloofs.To me it looks like this is the biggest hurdle to clear. If they can find someone to pony up the big bucks they'll stay in Sacramento. If they can't they're in Seattle.
If they manage to find one of these "whale investors" to pick up the 7% it essentially negates Hansen's offer. I still think it's unlikely they find someone to do that but in my mind this is the biggest hurdle.

BACK ON TRACK TO APPROVAL, AND THEY'RE ALREADY VETTING THE HANSEN GROUP!
Go buy some Nordstrom's and an Xbox with your tax return's people!
Throwdown wrote:Sooo I heard on KJR, from Brian Robinson's mouth, through my speakers to my ears, that approval for Hansen's group could come as soon as All Star Weekend or sooner.
That's the only news I'm gonna need to hear personally to start popping champagne like Chris Bosh.
