Crazy that the NBA owners might be the richest of any sports team owners.
Lot of overlap, but Ballmer and Prokhorov skew that top big time.

Ballmer is right up there with Manchester City's Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

And then there is Paul Allen.

ETA - just looked up and Balmer is actually has a higher estimated wealth than Allen. Wow.

As Louisiana taxpayers, we should take pride in this, after all, it's our extortion payments to Mr. Tom that allowed him to achieve this lofty status.

Then why the hell is our cap space a problem? Seriously, can anyone explain it to me?

If Benson really cared about the team he's spend more money on players.

Best thing he did was buy the Pelicans, the value of that franchise has skyrocketed since Shinn sold it.

Speaking of Benson and his money, our season ticket invoices should be coming in soon. I am surprised that we don't have them already.
