Source: Josh Harris would have paid $5 billion for the Broncos, if he knew that would get the deal done​

The Broncos will sell for $4.65 billion. Some in league circles thought it would go for $5 billion.
So why didn’t it go for $5 billion?

Per a source with knowledge of the dynamics, 76ers co-owner Josh Harris made it clear to those involved in the process that his group would pay $5 billion for the team, if they knew that $5 billion would get the deal done. However, Harris was not given that assurance.

His concern was that the Walton-Penner group would trump the bid, and would continue to do so until it secured the team. That’s one of the basic realities of an auction, whether it’s for an NFL franchise or JFK’s golf clubs.

So why didn’t Harris go to $5 billion and force Walton-Penner to go higher? Harris, we’re told, intends to pursue another NFL franchise. Thus, there was no reason to drive up the price of the Broncos, when that becomes the precedent for the next transaction.

The bottom line is that Harris is ready to pay $5 billion to buy an NFL franchise. He didn’t officially offer $5 billion for the Broncos because they couldn’t guaranteed it would have gotten him the team. If another team wants to sell to Harris for $5 billion, now’s the time to give him a call.
 
That Allen and Harris practically backed out of the Broncos purchase race, it suggests they know other teams will be for sale sooner than later.

The Seahawks are almost certainties to be for sale by 2024 per this PFT article.

If Seahawks sell, it likely won't happen before May 2024 - ProFootballTalk

You'd imagine the Commanders would be a likely one, and possibly Dolphins would be too. Maybe Browns after them. Maybe Jaguars after that. Maybe Patriots? Jets?

In 2003 Falcons owner Arthur Blank settled a lawsuit from a female employee who was terminated for speaking out against rampant sexual harassment within the organization. This was after a $104 million settlement following a similar lawsuit against Home Depot in 1997.

Imagine how bad it would have to be to get in $100 mil worth of trouble for sexual harassment in the 90s? That's like getting a DUI in the 70s.

 
I dont understand how the Warriors are worth more than the Lakers, Knicks, Celtics or Bulls. Seems weird.
I imagine its a combination of recent success, owning their own stadium and their proximity to and patronage from Silicon Valley

EFA: Turns out they don't own Oracle Arena

So it's as big a mystery as ever.
 


The numbers in both of these would indicate they make more money than all other NBA teams, which would make them more valuable

Its weird though, seems all the Warriors value comes off the back of premium seating and stadium advertising. Once the Warriors drop off again I cant imagine any world where they are top 10. Far more volatile from a value standpoint id have thought.

Compare that to the Knicks who have been s**t forever, being able to sell tickets and advertising in bad times surely should makes them more valuable?
