Now that clippers broke the bank and we look to possibly be the next new hot young team in the west with a once in a lifetime superstar as the cornerstone (saying we can get rid of the "cornerstone")


Or does he need to go off on some racist tirade with his slam piece first?

Benson is loving this. Bought an NBA team for 350mil? Has a bonafide top 3 superstar on the team, and some crap team just sold for 550mil. If he sold to someone looking to move the team to Seattle he could get well above 550.

Makes me wonder what the next NFL team is going to sell for, and how much he could sell the Saints for...

I dunno about 1B, but I bet he could flip the team for 750M. Not a bad ROI. Mrs Gayle made a very smart investment.

New Orleans is the smallest TV market in the NBA currently, so I doubt they would could for that much.

The new TV deal coming up has sort of upped the price of these teams. The Grizz sold for about 370 about 2 years ago and then the Bucks sold for 550. I would say the Pels would probably go for more than the Bucks.

The Clippers was an interesting circumstance. They a large amount of star power right now and are located in LA. Having multiple bids coming in at once and an sped up sales process likely overpriced the team.

eta: Just saw this on r/NBA
