I think this is a great guess. I won’t be shocked if it reaches $3b I don’t see how it is any less than $2.5b.

Simmons: Was in 'bad place'; no help from Sixers
Ben Simmons said in an interview that he was in "a bad place" with his mental health during last season, and the Philadelphia 76ers weren't providing support. "And that's all I wanted, was help," Simmons said.

back then rules, yes. rules from today, no.
I am still convinced they would beat the Pistons in the Garden even when the Pistons scored more points.
So technically you’re correct.

Listening to Bill Simmons podcast. He’s speculating the suns will sell for $4.4b.
Too high. The Suns don’t own the arena. Vegas has the line at $2.75B. Local sports guys say it will be closer to $3B than $2B.

Yeah, agree. My initial guess was $3b. Almost double the highest was way more than I would have guessed.
The Nets were sold for over 3B. but that included the arena.

Yeah that’s a huge piece. He included that in his speculation. But the group doesn’t own it that’s definitely going to reduce it. The Suns are a much bigger brand than the nets though so I would imagine they’ll be worth more.

Can you help me understand what ”a bigger brand” means to you? I would think that the Nets’ local tv rights are much more valuable than the Suns’, because Brooklyn’s viewership dwarfs Phoenix’s.
I think that the Suns will sell for more for two reasons. The first is simple supply and demand. The ultra rich have grown much richer over the last 20 years. The billionaires are trying to find assets where they can park their money. The League may expand, but the number of teams will always be very limited. Everyone was astounded when Ballmer paid 2 B for the Clips and now that investment looks very good. The number of ultra rich people who would like to own an NBA franchise will drive the price above what normal business metrics suggest the intrinsic value really is.
The second is that everyone is saying that the new broadcast deals are going to be very rich. Sports content is very valuable these days. This expectation helps these very rich people justify the extremely high prices that they pay for the prestige of owning an NBA franchise.
All just my own musings, of course.

I think of the nets as a bottom tier team. They are a second team in their market. They’ve never been a premier team. I think of them like the hornets or the pelicans. Just not a big team. When KD leaves they’ll go back to being irrelevant.
I think of the suns differently. They are snake bitten. But they aren’t a lower tier team. They just have a crappy owner that won’t spend.
a year for having a consensual relationship. something just seems really off here. anyone know any more info?

Udoka suspended by C's for 2022-23, apologizes
Boston's largely unprecedented suspension of coach Ime Udoka is effective immediately, and a decision about his future with the organization will be made later, the team said.

Seems crazy, but some teams might have rules like this in place (even against consensual relationships) just to avoid potentially harmful situations. There's been a few teams lately in different sports that have dealt with accusations of being almost predatory cultures towards women involved with the franchise (Redskins come to mind, Suns now).
Probably due to stuff like that but that's pure speculation.
Sucks if this was a legit consensual relationship.
a fine....10 games...something like that but a full year and no guarantees he even comes back, seems crazy. i get the things some companies have gone through because of inappropriate behavior ie WWE but dam
Oh yeah i get it, i mean if i was suspended a year for every relationship at my last company ....lol
Big men + knee injuries = not good.
Ugh. Hopefully they don’t rush him back. It’s not worth it.
