It wouldn't make him a good deal of money. Selling the team, especially if they moved, would do WONDERS for his car dealerships.

I actually agree. There were things he didn't need to say, but did for some reason. Saying Deron would leave Utah anyway to have a chance to pursue his dream, no players are sacred, a 30 second conversation with the man who helped keep the franchise alive, etc. All true, but why say it? Totally came off as cutthroat. Greg just threw the pilots overboard and is in control of the ship.

I found it interesting how he did not want to comment if there was protections on the draft picks.

God I hope this isn't true. Though if it is but isn't protected in 2012 when there's a better crop of players, maybe that's a good thing. Of course the Nets could make the playoffs next year too so it sucks from that perspective.

I only saw the part where he talked about everyone's era coming to and end and didn't find it cutthroat at all. Just matter of fact in a very real way.

They did say something like "I think it is pretty safe to say that we`ll have the Jersey-pick this year." But does this mean that it is unprotected or top three-protected? It would be just frigging fantastic if it is top-three protected and they hit the lottery draw real hard...

He said he doesn't normally comment on that sort of thing, but he was willing to say that it's safe to say they'll be getting the Nets pick this year. So the reports of Nets unprotected, W's protected are probably true.

GS is only top 7. So good chance we get it in 2012.

Let's hope so. This team really needs ownership change. How about Greg saying he understands mindset of Deron, as a young guy, who wants to make as much money as possible during their relatively short careers, and therefore NY/NJ gives him the best chance, hence he saw him going there not not staying here. Well, this applies to everyone , because all good players you will get out of draft are going to be young guys who want to make money during their short careers. By this rationale, no one will want to stay in Utah, so why don't we trade all good players we draft?
