How are The Clippers doing now and how have they done historically? My impression is they are doing better, have been pretty empty in the past, will be empty in the future.
It appears they have had pretty good attendance since moving to The Staples Center.
the Clippers have one of the WOAT owners, and can't get rid of him. historically he's run his team like Harold Ballard, that's changed a bit lately now that they've gotten some good players that he hasn't run out of town. another GTA team would likely be one of the wealthiest teams in the league immediately (presuming they don't get stuck with AIDS ownership). obv that doesn't guarantee any kind of success, but it is an advantage of sorts, even in today's league.

also in the context of Katz being a total [censored] about this arena deal in Edmonton (apparently talks have broken down again, and the city has stopped negotiating with him). he wants his free stadium like all his US owner buddies, but that hasn't really ever been a common practice up here. seems like Edmonton is bending to his whims a bit, but not breaking.
