There are always ways for the Maloofs' sources to make this "technically" right — underlings for each side could be trying to hammer out details, for all we know. What intrigues me is that no local bidders are reaching out to the Maloofs. George Maloof basically publicly admitted on Thursday that the team is up for sale. That's like an open invitation to make offers, right? It's time for all of those names to step up and follow through.
