Because I was literally there watching this happen because we had a vote on it.
I was in the room voting on this deal where the Dodgers would have a price tag of over $2 billion, which would help all of us
It would increase the value of every team getting a deal on the table of two plus billion.
And the only reason Mark Walter would pay two plus billion is because there was a limit to what would be subject to revenue sharing.
And what that means is he was able to take money all for himself instead of sharing it with the other owners.
And what he got in return is he would pay more money up front for the team.

So a new owner, when we got in the game, we wanted to move our team to Montreal, wanted to move it to Washington, and it was never going to be allowed.
So they would never, the NBA owners would never allow
a newbie to take the Vegas market.
Explain that, because this is 2012, and I want to understand.
Yeah, so if you buy team at X, and with relocation, you get a value of Y, in theory, what that means is that you've had an increase in your investment.
You've made money on your money.
