Why would he sell it for 350 million when it's valued at 650 and billionaires are forking over money to buy NBA teams? And he makes 19m a year in income from it. You would be the worst investment advisor of all time.

Price Paid
$340 M
Year Purchased
2012
Revenue2
$131 M
Operating Income3
$19 M

There'd be more lawsuits if he did.


You realize that the Milwaukee Bucks just sold for 550 million right? They are in fricking Milwaukee. And all of their players combined don't have half the star power as Anthony Davis.

You could probably get 49% stake for that price...

Benson hasn't acquired the massive wealth that he has by making retarded transactions like that

So when he leaves, the value will drop by 50%?

Is Benson in control of his mental facilities? I know there's bad blood in his family over the state of his mental condition.

I see a lawsuit if Benson sells for 350 million.

Are the Pelicans the least expensive franchise in the NBA, or does AD prevent that?
