Part of the charm of popeyes is that they do not give a frick, and they want you to know it

Plus, a lot of them aren't 100% owners.
NFL only requires the "lead investor" to own 30%.
They can have up to 25 additional partners/owners.
In the NBA they would only need to buy 15% as controlling owner.
Anyone purchasing these teams in this city is going to be part of a very large group. I imagine the Mannings would possibly be involved as a PR thing.

ahhhh yes, the fastest growing fast food chain not named chick fil a is certainly on the edge of collapsing because the one in your podunk town isn't busy (when you go)
im not even a big canes guy, but that's a crazy take

With that being said Todd Graves would have to sell everything and find some investors to go on with him, never going to happen. And if it did he’d still be one of the “poorest” owners in the league, and in a couple years you wouldn’t like him the same way you don’t like Gayle Benson.

If Jonas is signed in the off season would he be trade eligible before deadline next year? Ideally Pels go with a cheaper option long term but resign Jonas as an expensive insurance policy, but then are able to use his salary in a trade.

Jonas would have to be signed to either a 2 year extension or a 1+1 with the second being a team option option, otherwise he would have veto rights on any trade.
Problem is getting him to agree to the 1+1 because a straight two year deal would make him less appealing in a trade since it’s not expiring salary.

$10m in tax is nothing to Gayle. Y'all acting like she is cheap. Lady gives millions away every year to charity and has no children to leave her billions to. All she does is spend money to honor the man who gave it to her.
I think the plan has always been the tax. Getting under the tax this year was essential to allowing us to go into the tax for longer before the repeat tax.
This team has the potential to be special. Invest in it, the franchise value goes up. Its already worth ($3b) 10x what her husband paid for it ($300m).
What is $10-15m dollar a year tax when you are talking that type of return?

There's better cap people on this board, but looks to me like we can bring everyone back and stay under the tax for one more year, 2024-25, if we don't overpay.
Those contracts would then put us in the tax for 2025-26 though, so we'd have one more season to decide whether to keep it together or trade players to prevent going into the tax. Our trade leverage prob wouldn't be ideal at that point though.
The reality is fans should think of this year as part of our championship window, rather than still a build-up

She should divert a few million from the archdiocese’s bankruptcy legal fees and bring back CP this summer.

She only gets that return if she sells the team. What people don’t realize a majority of Gayle’s wealth is tied up in assets. Meaning unless she is unloading her assets, a majority of her wealth is tied up in assets such as the pelicans, saints, car businesses. She doesn’t have constant cash flow like the Steve Balmers or other owners. Not saying she wont pay the tax just saying that she doesn’t have as much “free” cash as other owners might.

Naji has been fricking awesome this year relative to his contract, he's given us awesome value.
Problem is we just have too many rotation players
Naji has absolutely earned playing time, a nice contract, and being solidified in a rotation.
With Naji, we're at 11 dudes, so someone basically has to go. Naji at $1.8 mil was fine. Naji at his next contract means one of Dyson/Hawk/Jose are either gone or out of the rotation next season.
CJ
Herb
BI
Zion
Center
Nance/backup center
Trey
Dyson
Hawk
Jose
That's 10, so who is out to fit Naji in?

Nobody, unless you look to package our picks Dyson and Nance for somebody. If we make a trade of that nature I can see us bringing back Naji. Otherwise just doesn’t make sense especially when you havr cost controlled guys like Dyson, Jose and Hawkins on your roster.

Injuries always happen though so you need to be 11-12 deep in today’s NBA. Also Gayle has always liked the Pels more than the Saints do I do think she will spend money if the team is showing results.
