porch every morning

If Hansen and Ballmer — or any other rich guy who wants to buy an NBA team for a hobby — can double the value of the Kings to $625 million, why couldn’t he do that gift and premium for some other small-market team — say, the Toronto Raptors? Or the Milwaukee Bucks? Or Memphis Grizzlies?

Or the Utah Jazz?

If you’re a Jazz fan, you should be hoping the Millers are out of town — way out of town, in, say, Madagascar.

Somebody should steal the newspaper off their front porch every morning.

And sabotage their cable TV connection.

Or send them on a vacation to, say, China.

Just keep them away from the news until the Sacramento situation is resolved. This could give them ideas.

Sure, Larry Miller, the late owner of the Jazz gift premium fair gmd685fes whose single-mindedness is the only reason the Jazz remain in Salt Lake City, said he would never sell the team. Miller passed up many opportunities to turn the Jazz into a huge profit. Fourteen months after buying half the team, he not only refused an offer that would have allowed him to turn an $8 million debt into a $6 million profit, but he added $14 million more to his debt to buy the other half of the team. Months before he died, he said he received offers for the team annually,gift and premium
some for as much as $400 million for both the franchise and the arena. He never seriously considered it. He said it would be like selling Canyonlands. He called the Jazz his gift to the community.
