They’ll be out of Memphis within a decade

Cool.

 

[YankeeVol]

Cool.

I hope it doesn’t happen, but if I were a gambling man, I’d take the bet they aren’t.

I just don’t get taking every opportunity to run on the fans, city, etc. I know you don’t care, but there ya go.

I’ve defended Memphis more than anyone who doesn’t actually live there, but go off.

You couldn’t pay me to live there though

Dort nearly undercut Pippen. Then levels Bane. Someone please do something.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Another Dirty Dort play and of course, Pippen gets a flagrant....

Bagley needs to come in and take him out ...

 

[95 Vol Alum]

He won the game for them it would appear.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Love me some Bane, but he’s not good vs OKC.

[95 Vol Alum]

Like I said.

Nashville.

But I won’t blame the fans. The city just doesn’t have enough people with money that will support a disappointing product.

King Kleiman royally screwed up a championship opening window and it started in the summer of 2022.

With the upgrades to Bridgestone (which is already 1000x better), it makes sense.

Less crime, higher income. A thriving (not dying) city. Win - win.

If that happens, f Nashville forever.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Bridgestone aint better (pre renovation)

You clowning with that take...

 

[gordonr24]

It makes a lot of sense. It keeps the franchise in the same region and moved into a wealthy, sprawling market.

We’ll see, but the lease hasn’t been signed yet and it expires in 2029..

Let’s compare rankings Lol. Bridgestone is better. I’ve watched AFL games in better arenas

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Bridgestone wouldnt need a billion in state-funded renovations if it was better....

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Bridgestone wouldnt need a billion in state-funded renovations if it was better....

I thought the funding was actually not on the taxpayers, sort of.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

I thought the funding was actually not on the taxpayers, sort of.

Taking sales tax that would have been generated with or without renovation is taxpayer funded....

Its just semantics. It's money that would have gone to the 95 counties instead its now diverted to stay in Nashville..

Yes, not investing in a major state city so you can continue to s*** on it makes perfect sense. It’s worked wonders so far. They don’t support the Titans and, look, a new stadium!

Fair enough. At least it’s limited, allegedly, to arena sales.

 

[KB5252]

Disappointing, I've been trying to get back into the NBA and support the Grizz. But man, they just aren't built to compete, been like the roster is missing a couple of pieces, I watched sparingly tonight because if the draft. But in what I have watched I'll be honest, not sure Edey is a good fit.

I'm sure I'm missing something, please fill me in.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

If they did not renovate anything, 1 billion would be going for all 95 counties. Money for roads, education, public safety, etc.

Now 1 billion is staying in Nashville
