If Rondo and Hill are playing, we win that game easily last night.

'm with you, this shite is just depressing... we all know that leaving is inevitable and anyone that doesn't think that is just fooling themselves



The team is not moving unless the Bensons are losing a LOT of money (they are not and will not). It is so difficult to get a sports franchise. It is even more difficult to gain control of 2 in the 2 most popular sports. Franchise values keep increasing. Unless you think the NBA is going to start losing money/popularity (unlikely with international viewership growing) then why would you sell?

Reality is that ownership and upper upper management (Loomis) do not give a shite. They bought the team on the cheap and once someone finds a place to move it, they will get bank on the investment. That won't be for a while, and so people need to just accept this will be a bad team with maybe an 8 seed in their on some random seasons.

The fact that Demps hasn't been fired the last 3 seasons has been pathetic and shows this team doesn't give a shite about winning, or actually having a strategy that works. They don't even sign parts to the team that make any sense half the time, and let a historic failure of a head coach be hired. It's pathetic, but unless fans stop going, they win and make their bank.

Could be worse. At least we didn’t blow a first trading for Jeremy Lin only to see him blow out his patellar tendon.

Who’s leaving what? If people are talking about the franchise, it’s highly unlikely that the Association, with Stern’s protege in charge, allows a relocation from N. O.


Dell is here forever because he has Gayle Benson nudes.

Once he runs off AD and Boogie, attendance is going to plummet.

This is such bullshite. They are already planning for an extension of the Pels/Saints leases. The Bensons are not looking to sell the team. They don't need the money and the teams keep appreciating.

Its not bullshite. It's an investment they've already made ridiculous gains on. With the right offer, believe me, they will sell. The fact is, though, they couldn't give two shits about producing a winner. If they did, they would hire failures of HC from the bargain bin and then on top of that keep a GM that has failed in all but 1 big move that he had anything to do with (Boogie).

The have already made and will continue to make ridiculous gains. Benson has received multiple offers to purchase the Saints throughout time after he made ridiculous gains, but he held onto them and made tons more money. There will always be a limited supply of sports franchises and there will always be really rich people who want to own one. The person who guides the business decisions for the Bensons has no interest in moving the Pels.
