btw, correct me if im wrong, but it appears penny pincher's net worth went up about 30% this year (~a billion dollars). good for him.

The difference between Pistons value and Bulls value?

23 million

The difference between Detroit Market value and Chicago Market value?

22 million

Conclusion?

Michael Jordan is worth 1 million dollars.

the penny pincher also slashed playoff ticket prices this year by %23. Good for him.

my favorite is the wins to player cost ratio.

peaked in 2004, and has steadily decreased since.

perhaps there is a correlation between success and spending. i realize its kind of a reach, but worth a thought.

I think the spending has stayed the same or even gone up with the tax threshhold, it's just the number of wins that have gone down (playoff wins count double).
