I like that Barnes has come to Kobe's defense. Actually, a lot of NBA players have come out and said they would like to play with him.

Where are your seats?
Are you renewing for next season?
Are you planning on adding seats?
Have you ever sold a full season all at once? (I'm considering this)
How'd you do this season financially?
