What's fueling such large percentage gains by so many teams? Is it largely speculative, like investments, or is there something substantive there? Revenue isn't going up like that, otherwise there wouldn't be a slowdown of the cap growth and dried up post-'16 free agent market.

 

[blue9]

Man, EVERYTHING about this team is middle-of-the-road, huh?

 

[e_blazer]

Paul Allen’s yacht is probably worth more than his basketball franchise.

 

[ripcityboy]

They are priceless to me..... Red, Black And White Till I Die!

 

[THE HCP]

Right about where I thought we’d finish in the standings this season. Perfect.

Did the Clippers selling for so much change peoples outlooks on what these franchises are worth?

Yes.

 

[ripcityboy]

Yes.

It changed every sport. The fricking Florida Marlins sold for 1.3 Billion. The MARLINS!!!
I literally doubt the Yankees will ever get sold judging by that figure.

We are in the bottom half of the league in operating income with 25 mil. Making about a sixth of what NYK makes. No wonder Dolan doesn't give a shit-- no matter what they do on the floor, they keep raking in the money

CLE the only team making a loss at -6 mil.

Also, surprised to see SAC ahead of us in valuation.

I don’t do baseball, I hope you meant Billion with a B!

 

[tlongII]

How is Sacto worth more than us????

BRAND NEW ARENA!

 

[tlongII]

BRAND NEW ARENA!

I still think the Rose Garden is DOPE!

Yeah. Sorry, my bad.... billions. Was on the phone so it might it might have been auto corrected. But you get my point. If baseball is truly is a dead sport, a marginal team being worth over a billion is amazing.

 

[THE HCP]

Compared to other arenas around the league built in the same era, the RG is in fantastic shape. They have really maintained it well. There are some dumps out there. That new Detroit arena is very nice. They did a great job Such an upgrade from the Malace of Auburn Hills.

If San Antonio's reach was only regional I'd get what you are saying, but a lot of teams' have reach beyond their local geography, and with all of the "furrners" the Spurs have had on the roster, and the sustained excellence they've enjoyed, they are a global brand.

I said SAC, not SAS

No, it was the sale of the Milwaukee Bucks that set the price of the Blazers.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Whoops, my bad. In that case, it's probably because Sacramento just built a new arena or something.

 

[ripcityboy]

I am going to list your doghouse in the S2 backyard in the Craiglist Free section. Bet I get some crazies who actually offer me money for it!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The financial penalty for moving the Blazers is a joke now. If you can afford a billion to buy the team you can afford the $20 mill to move it.

I heard a rumor that Elon Musk was going to buy the Blazers and relocate them to Mars.

Well we all know the value of the Bucks was driven up by the thought of Laverne and Shirley being in the same city working for Shotz Brewery.

Some like to dog on Sterling as an old senile dude. Everyone guffawed when he said
that $2Billion was a bargain for the Clips, but he was right. Balmer's made a cool $150 million already
on the Clips based on their franchise value alone.

7.5%? Yeah, that's an okay return on investment. Not great though. Shoulda bought bitcoin instead...

Edit: And actually, how long has Balmer owned the team now? Divide that 7.5% by that many years, and his return is looking mighty slim...
