And THAT is why the League won't help us anymore. Even in our DARKEST times we're printing cash. Why should they help us at all if these other crap franchises need the cash more? Why help us make even more money when Milwaukee, Sacramento, Minnesota, and Orlando still exist?
Lakers are also #1 in terms of current value. http://www.forbes.com/nba-valuations/ Lakers #1 at $2.6 billion. Knicks #2 at $2.5 billion. Bulls #3 at $3.0 billion.
Is the Clips value misleading because their egghead owner overpaid for the franchise? their operating income is just 20m, lowest among the top 5, and the Nets are just sad no profit and bleeding money
