Danny boy is leaving

[Peter Effin' Parker]

Can we change the title of this thread to: "Danny boy is considering making an offer on the Phoenix Suns, which requires gathering capital and collecting partners, then submitting an offer, and after months of vetting and working through the system, and competing against other offers, there is a chance that the group he is affiliated with is the one eventually chosen to be sold the franchise, which he would then be leaving."

Found the thread where dude mentioned about saying Ainge would be the GM. To his credit, he did beat Woj by 7 minutes.

Interesting if so. He can screw up the small deals for the Suns like he did for Utah and Boston.

This gives Danny lots of options. He will be able to wear Celtic, Jazz, or Suns bling depending upon which arena he is in.

Uhh...I don't think Ainge has anywhere near NBA owner money.

Here we go with the conspiracies. Illuminati Ainge.

Per google, Danny Ainge's estimated net worth is around $10 million (sounds about right).

The Suns selling price is expected to be around $2 billion.

If that estimated net worth is even close to accurate, the entirety of it would be worth 0.5% ownership stake. I don't think he's leaving the Jazz for that.

You know, there was talk that Ryan Smith was wanting to buy the Suns a number of years ago. Maybe all the Jazz's cost-cutting moves is because Ryan is going to buy the Suns and we're going to combine the franchises, get the best players, and then have all teh darft pix.

For anyone distraught, go ahead and convince yourself of the above, because if we're going to rationalize with non-sense, may as well go big or go home.

They still haven't taken the team off that dead beat owner yet tho have they? I've heard some dude from Disney/ESPN is trying to buy it and they're hoping they can throw old mate dickhead under the bus to do it.
