David Bonderman Passed away

Thanks for bringing major league hockey to Seattle

Out of curiosity, Jerry Bruckheimer is 81. Whenever he passes, what happens next? Would Bondermans daughter likely sell or would minority owners like Jazzy step up?

Also wonder if this complicates a sonics return. I think he was the connection to the league given his Celtics ownership. I know he was selling up that stake but wonder what happens if its tied up in his estate.

kraken ownership group is still going to make a bid for expansion and i'm sure if they need to they'll bring in investors for the NBA they will. Unless bonderman himself set it up for it to be in an estate trust, i kinda assume the daughter assumes control of the shares and continues to sell it off.

1) R.I.P. David Bonderman and thanks for bringing NHL hockey to Seattle while also fixing the arena issue.

2) Bonderman basically gave all his shares to his daughter Samantha Holloway who's been named Kraken CEO(or whatever it was) a couple years ago.

I wouldn't be surprised it was done in case something like this happens.

3) The group(Holloway) will sell the shares of the Celtics and then team up with other investors(they've taled to many interested folks already during the summer) to make a bid for bringing back the Sonics.

Co-Owner not CEO.

Interesting tidbit it was bonderman's idea behind the eye and the location of it in the logo.
