26CornerBlitz Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Mike in Horseheads said: The Clippers, however, nearly moved to Anaheim permanently in time for the 1996–97 season, but according to a Los Angeles Times article published in June 1996,[17] owner Donald Sterling turned down a deal that would have paid the team $95 million over 12 years. Odgen Corporation, who at the time managed the Pond, and the city of Anaheim offered the Clippers a multi-tiered deal that would have included upwards of $33 million paid to the team over the first six years of their Pond agreement, plus other monies allocated towards new locker rooms, team offices, and a practice facility. In another related Times article,[18] Odgen and Sterling were in talks to have the management company take care of the Clippers' day-to-day operations for a $4 million a year fee. Also at the time, the Walt Disney Company, owners of the Ducks and Anaheim Angels baseball team during that period, were pursuing at least a partial ownership of the Clippers, with the key element being that its game telecasts would be part of a planned ESPN regional network for Southern California. However, as the planned ESPN West network never came to reality, all three teams had continued to maintain broadcast partnerships with Fox Sports West and Prime Ticket. Got it. Never came to fruition. At any rate, what I posted stands correct with the Chargers back in LA where they started and the Clippers in LA also two jumps removed from Buffalo.

Tony P Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 John Hummer - Princeton. I hated that pick and I'm sure they did too.

3rdand12 Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 Someone will have to write his story though. Hopefully we can scour for a volunteer here abouts ?
