Timberwolves sold for 4.5 billion

The reason this is notable is that the wolves are routinely ranked near the bottom of franchise value rankings along with the Pels and Grizzlies. This probably puts the value of the Pels franchise at around 4 billion.

That's a lot of chicken fingers or slot machines

I'm holding out hope that Todd Graves is buying the team once that expansion check clears

Great our players will shrink over first ten years

He's got a better chance of buying a team in Vegas or anywhere else than he does in New Orleans

Todd Graves is leveraged to the hilt
no way he could afford it by himself
he would need some partners to buy Pels
He might as well wait for the Saints

You never stop saying retarded things
You think these guys buy the team in cash all by themselves?

Because Gayle isn't selling while she's alive which could be at least around 10-15 years.
And the franchises go to Mickey and his cronies afterwords

She's 79 years old. While she COULD live another 15 years, of course, statistically that's not likely

I would imagine whomever bought the Saints would buy the Pelicans no?

Are you just dumb or ill-informed? 30 seconds of research will tell you that

Gayle isn’t gifting $15B to Mickey and Lauscha, the plan is for them to negotiate to a buyer and distribute sales proceeds to NOLA and her preferred charities.
That said, the goal is to retain the teams but the new owner has a business to run and will evaluate if NOLA is the best market for the franchises. Every business owner has the right to maximize their investment and locate the business in the right place.
Fortunately for the teams, Gov. Landry has attracted Meta, Hyundai, and now SpaceX. No other LA Governor in our lifetime has ever attracted these level enterprises. If LA can get to 5M population as a result by 2035 there might be a window to stay for the Saints and Pels because the businesses coming to LA are major entities.

Also Venture Global is here and is a major sponsor of Saints and I am guessing the Pels soon. Caesars is invested in city PELs will sign a lease extension. Keeping them here another 15 yrs. When teams are sold, hopefully state will continue to grow economically and they’ll be enough money to keep them both. We’re a much better position now than we were 2 to 3 years ago.

Rich get rich. Pelicans have been mismanaged since being purchased. Probably have a 3,000% ROI.

Joke. But give them billions in Corporate Welfare.
