    I think the Trust will wait till the new TV contract is done, reassess the value, then sell to the highest bidder. Plus there is a very good chance the NBA expands with the new contract, which will bring more money to the franchise. All about those Benjamin's.

    My guess is somewhere around the 3 billion mark.

    If Jody/Allen trust keeps the expansion fee that will lower the franchise value. Conversely if they sell with that fee going to the buyer that will raise the franchise value. So its more of a wash to the Allen trust. The TV revenue wouldn't go to the Allen trust if they sold the team at the start of the contract; the revenue would be each year over the next ~10 years to the new owner.

    If they want to sell ASAP; there is really no financial reason to delay the sale besides pure speculation. The items you mentioned are already factored in increasing the price of the franchise today. So Allen can sell now and get those benefits.

    The Allen trust could wait for any of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 years from now to potentially increase the value they receive from the sale. Maybe the team will be worth $10+ billion if they wait enough years. Every 2-3 years there will be new reasons of why the franchise will go up in value, so if you held out for the highest price in this manor the team would never be sold.

    There is absolutely no way you can say that with certainty. We don't even know about other offers potentially already on the table.

    Legal and financial experience with dozens of large private corporate acquisitions has me confident it is.

    Is the valuation perfect or static? No, the valuation could go up or down in the future. But the idea that a seller has to wait for those types of events to be completed before getting a financial benefit at the sale is ludicrous. That is a line of thought uneducated posters and individuals without financial experience wrongly assume.
