That's my characterization of not wanting to pay the LT, period. Having paid it once, and only a teeny amount, doesn't suggest he's willing to pay it.
BTW, Forbes is showing just about all of the big and mid-market teams as having skyrocketed in value since last season. This is largely due to the recent Clippers sale. Forbes had the Clips value last year at something like $875mil. Then they sold for $2bil. Though these are estimates (read: guesses), they weren't even in the ballpark. Obviously, a market adjustment was needed. No doubt the new TV deal also played a part in the huge increases. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don't think these lists are worth much since these teams are so illiquid, but I'd guess the Bulls would sell for more than 2 billion if they were put up for sale. They've been one of the most consistently profitable teams for a loooooong time, have a steady track record of success, and seem to have a good organizational structure for doing what they've always done. My guess is that Uncle Jerry and the Board could get closer to 3 billion if they were willing to take their time finding the right buyer.
