I was really surprised by that.... I am not sure what the cause is because TV revenue is crazy high now. I know the players are earning a hell of a lot more but to me it still doesnt make sense.

It's for the prestige. Heck if I had the money I'd buy an nba team even if the rate of return was close to 0%, I just need it to fund its own operations I don't need a profit

Yeah, a lot of vanity premium in there.

Is it vanity or is it that the expansion cost would easily be $5 billion plus. I mean Arizona's possible hockey team is going to cost a billy that why the owner got that much in the sale. Even WNBA teams are getting $500-600 million expansion fees

Toronto paid 115M for an expansion wnba team, which is still completely ridiculous.
Not sure what an expansion nba team would go for. I would guess if the avg team value is 4B, probably somewhere around there. Maybe a bit less.

I’m just checked I was thinking the soccer expansions! With the WNBA though while Toronto paid 115 Austin is expected to hit 200… wild jump there alone

Yep!!! I’m super surprised Tillman didn’t bring back Houston’s… I remember going to games as a kid… we won 4 championships in a row and then folded just a few years later. Since he owns the Rockets and the arena he would essentially use the NBA to subsidize the WNBA team lol

I do think there is an argument for nba teams having wnba teams as well in the interest of growing the game and fanbases but not for 200M haha

EBITDA/revenue isn’t bad considering players get 50% but teams valued at 40-50 times earnings is quite the premium.
