Ownership Hunt: Michael Rubin's Team Consists Of Joseph Tsai, Diddy, Steph Curry, And Local Investors

[KendrickPanther]

Steph Curry and local investors sounds like Jerry's first choice, assuming they make a competitive bid.

Sadly I'm hyping myself up for this Rubin/Tsai/Curry team - - and will surely be disappointed by some random darkhorse candidate none of us have heard about

Sorry not happening. That will not be a favorite dumb thing to do when other owners have to ok anything he tries to do and get shot down.

It will happen whether you like it or not.

Rubin and Tsai are based in the Northeast, just like Tepper is. Why would they move it to Oakland to an area that the Raiders left because they refused to help with a new stadium?

Tepper has been in Florida for a long time now is my understanding, even if he was from Pennsylvania.

As for Diddy, as a minority owner I don't have a problem with it. Not sure I'd trust him as the majority owner as I get the sense he'd want to get too involved in football decisions, but I would have no problem with him owning part of the team.

 

That is a good thing because there is no need to make things in his image which would muck this franchise up with a horrendous look of the team and what is associated with it.

Nothing will be done in his image without all owners having a positive approval which won't happen.

Oklahoma City could easily support a  NFL franchise.

Oklahoma City market is not going to Compete with the Carolina market which has at least 3 markets each larger than OKC. Moving to a market a fraction of the size will never happen.

Well if when the smoke clears it results in significantly less racist mouthbreathers in this fanbase, I'm all for it.

But I have doubts ol' "mister" Jerry will be all that willing to sell to that group.

The only unpalatable name in that group is Diddy. Rubin has strong business ties with the NFL already. Tsai is a big player in China online retail. Steph is the pride of our city. Its a leap to think he would have a problem with anyone other than Diddy.

In a time when there is some worry about future franchise value and potential for numerous teams to hit the market it is likely that The league of owners will simply favor the highest bid.

Rubin and Tsai. Both have the dollars, the youngest group, both have experience in having ownership pieces, Sixers players love Rubin, and they want to add local investors to their bid (and it's to show good faith, because they don't really need the money). Diddy will probably own a single digit percentage if he is apart of this group.

This is my team right here.

I hope he is apart from this group. I’d prefer an ownership group interested in winning, not some bullshit self-aggrandizement. And his ridiculous Instagram post about buying the team tells me he fits in the latter category. No thanks.

Diddy Haters were you at?

 

Games going to be lit with Diddy in the skybox!

Yeah and our roster filled charity cases because they support the political motives of a minority owner.

Because there is money there just like Portland, San Antonio, and Oklahoma City. All who would be willing to build a dome and not have to worry about a old stadium.
