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.

Dude you don't even want me to get started on corgi's. They are ferocious! Russell needs to stay away from them.
Corgi's are ferocious, mine will chew your face off, just as soon as i get it from under the bed.

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.

OK, let's say the deal falls a part. Then what? Is expansion out of the picture?

The next expansion team is at least five years in the future.

The 7% won't be sold until the NBA approves the deal and it is executed anyways.
I'm rather certain that some rich dude can't just come in, buy a minority chunk right now after a deal has been signed, and then use that to circumvent the original deal. That would give minority owners more power over who a team is sold to than the majority owner.

I honestly think expansion is off the table until the economy gets better. I don't know where the idea came from, but sacramento and the herewebuy movement is stupid for constantly bringing it up as an alternative for Seattle.

Don't worry about all the lawsuits. This is SOP for rich guys doing big $$ deals. People in corporations all have lawyers and sue each other constantly. This is the envirement Chris Hanson lives in. He knows what he is doing. He will win.

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.

I said battle, not war!
No one said to Hansen to pull the $30m of the table at the last minute, so I'm guessing we just passed one marker. Now it's all about the vetting and approval which could happen at anytime.
