What's new

Following potential 2013 draftees

Agreed. I've been pimping him a long time here. The only negative is I've talked with too many scouts that hear his hearts not in it.. he has to drag himself into the gym to put up shots.. no work ethic/motor...... those are MY words, not what they have said, specifically... but the impression I have gotten.

No worse than Marvin but much much cheaper.
 
i think those days are gone.

how he got rich

the new owner, vivek ranadivé is an indian businessman, engineer, author, speaker, and philanthropist. Ranadivé is the founder and ceo of tibco, a multi-billion dollar real-time computing company, and is credited with digitizing wall street in the 1980s with his first company, teknekron software systems.

As a child, one of ranadive's dreams was to attend the massachusetts institute of technology (mit), which he learned of through a documentary on the institution. Described as "a true visionary in a valley full of seers," by the august 10, 2004 issue of information age, he was inspired at the age of 17 to leave india to pursue an education in the united states of america. At 17, ranadivé was accepted to mit, but in the 70's the indian government did not release foreign currency for citizens to study abroad. ranadivé camped outside the office of the governor of the reserve bank of india until they gave him $50 – just enough to get him through one semester at mit.

after earning both a master's and bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from mit in four years, he obtained an mba from harvard university in 1983 where he was a baker scholar. While still in college at mit, ranadivé started his first company, a unix consulting company. He also held management and engineering positions with ford motor company, m/a-com linkabit and fortune systems immediately after college.

basketball fan/experience

ranadivé is a longtime basketball fan, which started when he coached his daughter's middle-school basketball team. the team played in the national championship and ranadivé's coaching success was documented by malcolm gladwell in the new yorker. in 2010, ranadive became the co-owner and vice chairman of the golden state warriors, making him the first person of indian descent to own an nba franchise.

Ranadivé plans to transform the warriors using the same real-time technology that transformed the business world. He states that "i see basketball as being the 21st century sport and the warriors becoming the team of the 21st century." in 2011, ranadivé spearheaded bollywood night.

conclusions

in summary, this is not the guy that will do things the same way the kings have done thing.

hes got a book coming out this year called David and Goliath
 
Interesting workout today with the Suns. Some interesting players there... I think there's a good chance we go with either Wolters or Green with our 2nd rounder. They are perfect fit for us if we want to go down the PnR heavy offense route.

Is *****/****** not an offensive word in German?

to answer your first question I think the jazz or any team that drafts him will
give him some training on twitter and how to handle himself.
