why did the owner want to move the team away from nyc?


was he on drugs?

He didn't want to relocate the team. He was going to sell it to someone who did. The Rams moved from LA to St. Louis in 1995, so I'm guessing it was a reference to that.

He wanted to sell the team to get more money. Everything was about money for him until he realized that he couldn't move the Knicks without losing more money than he would gain.

In real life, the league would have banned that move in a heartbeat. Specially if they are going to take the Knicks to St. Louis, there's no way they are going to allow a team like the Knicks (or Lakers, Bulls, Celtics) with such a huge market to relocate to a much, much smaller market. But hey. It's a movie.

It's Me! Bender!

Didn't realize the league could stop a move based on that criteria.
