I'm still doubtful as to why Mastrov wants to be a part of a group that buys the Kings at a higher valuation than he declined to buy his hometown Warriors for.. I'm just going to listen to the redhead on this one, that we will see a competitive bid set forth
Wasn't Mastrov disappointed that he did not have a chance to put forward a counter offer for the Warriors?! That indicates to me that he was prepared to go higher but was not given the opportunity. Might be part of the reason why Stern has given him a chance to increase the offer this time.
If he wants a team in Northern California, this is his one and only chance remaining. He missed out on the GSW so he is not getting that chance any time soon again. He misses out on the Kings, he is unlikely to ever get a chance to own a team in his region.
The GSW sale was back in 2010, that is 3 years ago and he only now gets the chance again. In those 3 years the price of the franchises has risen so he will have to step up to the stage on this one or he won't own a team in the foreseeable future. Not in Northern California anyway.
Hopefully he can pull this one out of the bag because there is no doubt that we are behind the 8 ball as we speak. We need to get a move on.
