Considering what's going on and the fact that the other teams actually pay to keep the Hornets solvent I totally get the strategy. He can now make cash calls to others. We may actually see them spend more money now. Hopefully.

Jordan has always had the ability to make "cash calls"....and his minority partners always had the ability to decline (that's just how it works). 

Most did so, but this had no effect on operations as the Managing Partner has to fill that hole, so Jordan did.  As a result, his % ownership increased from about 80% to a reported 97% as minority partners declined "cash calls" on a regular basis. 

Because Jordan had to cover the declined calls there was no effect on operations, no change with the new owners.

Now, here's what I think will happen going forward...  I suspect these new partners will have language in the agreement that allows them to fund ALL future capital calls, and see their ownership stake increased accordingly.

I believe their goal is to increase their stake to over 50% and take over the team from Jordan --- this would be the best outcome for all!

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
