Default Re: Forbes: McClendon 3rd Highest Paid CEO

FYI to all the NBA haters... Do you think it would have gone over so well with PBC's "good faith", "Specific performance" and "fraud" court cases if PBC offered $100 Million of their own money to the Ford Center, and not officially offered anything in Seattle. Yes it was assumed in Seattle but never made an official statement. They probably would have lost the court battles over something like that. I'm no lawyer, but that's just common sense. They were already "secretly" trying to weasle out of Seattle to OKC, it would have been bad faith if they offered OKC cash for an arena while they were still obligated to Seattle for one year. I imagine, if/when we get the Sonics, PBC will offer OKC money on upgrades/ new arena in 10-15 years. These guys are good corporate citizens of OKC, they will pay their dues and have already.
