Question - Were the conditions that bad in the Bower days because the Shinns were just cheap bastards or because George was really feeling the pinch on his debt servicing? Or a little of both?


I know Shinn halfassed his organization but I’m trying to figure out how and why his finances got so bad he basically threw the keys to the league and walked away.

Any names that you can give us?



Given the context, I assumed that Jrue was "recruiting" AD to stay long term, not necessarily a player on another team.

George didn't have the money to run the team.

They traded Chandler, at least in part, because they were afraid they wouldn't make payroll. Okafors deal was longer, but was at a smaller annual number than Chandlers

Then maybe dumbass should have sold while in Charlotte.

It obviously benefitted us for him to pull up stakes but he seemed to be in a spiral of issues for years due to his own personal actions or his finances.

he got sued to hell and back for sexual harassment in charlotte and basically got run out of town. He was a big time bible thumper (no offense to any bible thumpers) and couldn’t show his face around after that

shinn was/is a scumbag

So are we stealing away U’ren from the Warriors? He’s already Director of Ops for the leagues best run org. Not sure what position we could offer him that would be an upgrade.

Great read.
They say the difference between the good and elite is the elite actually listen to ideas from others and don't think they are too smart to listen

I don’t know if we get him or not and I don’t know the guy from Adam but some people like challenges and the thrill of building something. Maybe he wants to go back and rebuild a new franchise? Maybe just wants to move away for a new adventure. Who knows? Hope it’s true that we get him.

Yeah agreed! Some people on this board also get pissy when you disagree with their ideas or when you prove them wrong.
