The Philadelphia Daily News delves into the philosophical question which plagues our consciousness every day. "Why the fuck," they ask "would anyone in the world want to buy the Philadelphia 76ers?" They give a few reasons, mostly sticking with the notion that taking a basketball team back to its glory days is the greatest thing imaginable. And since our NYU attending New York Observer owning media mogul Jared Kushner is buying everything in sight, the News thinks he might be the one to snap up the down-trodden team.

"The short story is, [it would have to be] somebody with a lot of money that's not looking for any quick return on their investment and can handle negative cash flow," Shropshire said.

A source indicated that the family, led by Jared Kushner - who recently purchased the New York Observer for $10 million - was interested enough to have been given a tour of the Wachovia Center.

The plan, a source indicated, was for the family to be the buyer, rather than the Kushner Companies, a multibillion dollar real-estate enterprise. Jared Kushner, asked twice via e-mail about his interest by the Daily News, declined comment.

Hey, we also hear that Kushner's thinking of buying the Hell's Kitchen flea market. And possibly Millennium Park in Chicago. And an apple from down the street.
