Mark Zuckerberg's $250 million yacht was observed docking in Lake Union the other day.

Be afraid.

Be very, afraid.

I heard he wasn't on it. Maybe he's flying in and that's his crib for the weekend.

Oh no! He's bringing in Sean Parker as a partner?

I could be wrong, but I don't think the Nordstrom family was required to sell to Ken Behring, just because he was the highest bidder. There were approximately 30 prospective bidders, and they selected him. The Nordstroms were adamant in saying that they got the right guy, which wound up being the most infamous soundbite in franchise history.

Eff my life.

I could have gone to my grave a happy man had I not been reminded.

Curse you!

Actually, that was a blessing in disguise as it led directly to us getting Paul Allen as our owner. Allen had to be talked into buying the Hawks by the governor of WA.

Ken Behring was a tight wad and couldn't stay away from the draft board. He was clearly in over his head. I still remember Chris Warren and the offense practicing in LA back when he told everyone he was moving the team. I'm just glad he decided to liquidate to the Allen siblings. At the end of the day new owner needs two qualities.... An endless supply of cash money and the ability to allow our staff to their jobs without interference

Yep. He insisted that we draft Dan McGuire in the first round way ahead of where he was projected to go and over the objections of HC Chuck Knox simply because he was enamored with McGuire when he played at SDSU.

If I remember right, he was embroiled in a sexual harassment scandal at about the same time he was trying to move the Hawks to Pasadena. That was part of the motivation for the other owners to force him to sell. The guy was a real scum bag.

e insisted that we draft Dan McGuire

Exactly. After that decision it wasn't hard to understand the regression since the Knox era

Culturally, I can't think of any candidates that approach what fans have enjoyed watching grow during the Allen era.

No candidate is without a few skeletons in their closet.
