Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry has reached an agreement to sell his portion of the Bucks to Cleveland Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam for a $3.5 billion valuation, sources told ESPN. The deal, which sources said is still pending league approval, would be the second-highest valuation ever for an NBA team, only being surpassed by the $4 billion purchase of the Phoenix Suns by Mat Ishbia from Robert Sarver that was completed earlier this month. It would also be the third highest for any American professional sports team, also trailing the $4.65 billion the Denver Broncos went for last June.

When you own a Pro Sports franchise that can't bring home a World Championship Ring, buy one that already has!

A Milwaukee sports team worth 3.5 billion is silly

Bucks fans should be very nervous. Haslam will either ruin the franchise, move the Bucks to another city, or both.

Ooof. Have fun with this one, Milwaukee.

What was the commonality between the 0-16 Browns, the hilarious 2018 Tennessee coaching search, and the Pilot Flying J rebate scam?

I was watching that game and saw Jimmy sitting courtside. Wondered why he would be catching a Bucks/Suns game

The way many articles have worded the deal makes it seem like the Haslams spent $3.5 billion for their stake. I did some more research and it looks like 25% stake in ownership and the Bucks as a whole is worth $3.5 billion. I’ll fix the title…

The sale of the pelicans by the nba to Benson really was the steal of the century in the sports world. Think he bought the team for $300,000,000. A 10x return is quite the home run.

Haslam is completely incompetent. Good luck Bucks fans.
