Is that saying they're making 137 in profit this year?

Did anyone else find it strange that the picture they have for the Blazers, showed Brandon Roy?

No, it's saying that they're making $41.2M in profit, before taxes. You can get their operating expenses by subtracting the operating income figure from the revenue figure, assuming Forbes is correct with all the numbers.

Picture I saw was Plumlee.

When I clicked on it I got Ed Davis who ironically is going against Jusuf Nurkic.

NOI is profit directly from operating an asset, in this case the team. It doesn't include less direct payments...taxes, debt principal and interest payments, capital expenditures like building a new stadium, depreciation and amortization.

I sorted by Debt/Value. Taxpayers in Milwaukee and Sacramento didn't let their teams off the hook in paying for new arenas.

A 137 Million dollar surplus and we can't win at home. We should have accountants for cheerleaders

We don't have a $137M surplus. $41M is not the amount of cost we generate, it's the income. $137M is opex.

It's a very healthy profit for a sports organization on that level of income. Big market teams predictably generate a much higher revenue (close to $400M for Knicks and Lakers) but still far off Manchester United or Real Madrid.
