Steve Ballmer offer 1.8 BILLION for Clipper

[NBAFan]

According to LA TIME Ballmer bought Clipper for 2 billion :downspin: see few post below!

According to forbes Steve Ballmer offer 1.8 Billion for Clipper WTF no championship nothing 1.8 billion
Damn sterling is making killing!

[Clipper Nation]

The team will probably end up selling for upwards of $2 billion, tbh.... a team in the nation's 2nd-biggest media market with a favorable lease at their arena and the TV deal up for negotiation is always going to fetch a lot of money on the open market....

[NBAFan]

So you are saying Clippers are worth more than any NFL franchise Cowboys are worth little above 1 billion. No way clipper are worth that much dude is overpaying or scaring all the other bidder.

[Spurs9]

Wtf?

[NBAFan]

wouldn't it be cheaper to buy spurs/thunder/mavs or any small market team for 700-800 million and spend 1 billion to move & give job to couple of million people so make the market big lol just being funny!

I'm not saying that, the market is, tbh....

[NBAFan]

for 1.8 Billion sell him brand new team in Seattle and sell clipper to somebody else! NBA owner each will get around 50 million for new team in Seattle lol

[Shastafarian]

Not a chance he would offer that much in hopes of a move to Seattle. With an owner willing to pay consistently for top talent, LA is the top money-making city. Lakers could fetch at least 3 times what the Clippers would sell for.

[Mal]

This guy is total moron, no wonder he offers 1.8 billion for thing worth at best half of it.

[Franklin]

I remember a few years ago the Lockets were only worth 0.4 billion, less than a quarter of the monkeyball franchise.

[MultiTroll]

This guy is total moron, no wonder he offers 1.8 billion for thing worth at best half of it.
If the Clippers are going to be worth 4 billion in 10 years, who is the moron?

He is worth 20 billion so he has investment money.
LA metro has 20+ million people and not all are Laker Krishnas.
If the Clipps could get competent management and win, lots of people who would support the team and the advertizing $$$$ would follow.

and yet he's a billionaire while you spend your free time on a internet forum

[Baam]

People are saying it's a done deal at 2 billions.

So question how much are this team worth
LA Laker same city multiple championship = 6 billion ?
Spurs = 2 billion?
Mavs = 1.5 billon?
Thunder bright future = 2 billion?
Miami championship for next 3-4 years or atleast final = 6 billon?
NY Knick big market = 8 billion?

[NBAFan]

$550 million paid for the Milwaukee < the new owner instantly became billionaire in few months dang what an investment lol

[Baam]

LAC is a big market with marketable superstars in their prime... Dont think too many teams could reach that number...

Chris paul almost 30 years hasn't gone beyond 2nd round. Only marketable is blake because he is young!

[spurraider21]

the chris paul veto still having aftereffects :lmao

[MultiTroll]

Mistake there is perhaps co vastly overated Doc.
While Chris Paul is indeed a huge vag and indeed Doc has tried to adjust his attitude, i don't think he has tried hard enough.
Docs non stop whining about the one play at the end vs OKC (which may have technically been the correct call due to insane NBA rulebook), instead of addressing their 13 point lead choke was sad.
He was great in the one Champ year vs the Lamers. In the 2nd Celt - Lamer matchup, the blown 4th qtr lead even with Lakeref workin it was a blown Championship.

Considering both players' ads are in damn near every commercial break during national games, don't see how they aren't marketable, tbh....

Aldridge just said Donald hasn't agreed; only Shelly.

That's because the sale's not complete yet, he just won the bidding, tbh....

Hopefully DTS doesn't pull another senile tantrum and actually turn down $2 billion :lol

[UZER]

Sterling is about to put a big shit stain on the nba with their hypocrisy. A few of those stories leaked about Shaq and spreewell and the nba immediately offered to hold off the vote if he agreed to sell. Now this crazy offer.

NBA is scrambling to make something happen quick! Why that huge of on offer?

[NBAFan]

Does Sterling ex-mistress gets finder fee of 3% or not $60 million ????/ :rollin

[POPownsJackson]

for 1.8 Billion sell him brand new team in Seattle and sell clipper to somebody else! NBA owner each will get around 50 million for new team in Seattle lol

They have a terrible lease - no Suite money per reports for next 9 years

isn't that more or less the definition of how much something is worth?

[angrydude]

The NBA sure showed Donald Sterling the consequences of being a racist.

[Katherine Robinson]

isn't that more or less the definition of how much something is worth?

Not quite, how much something is worth would be how much value it would have in the big picture, essentially its market value. How much somebody would pay for it would be how much they simply pay for it. Balmer is paying above market value because there's a future potential of the Clippers one must pay a premium for, but it does not contribute to its current day value.

[DMC]

33% of that or 666 million would be for capital gains taxes.

Donald Sterling is the Beast.

something is only worth what others are willing to pay. if i buy a mercedes for 80k, didn't drive it once, and now want to sell it, and have zero buyers, guess what. that shit aint worth 80k

[Thebesteva]

How epic would it be if after everything is signed, Balmer posts on twitter fuck them niggas

If somebody is willing to pay 2,000,000 for a Camry, it wont make it worth two million dollars.

[urunobili]

now take em to Seattle

if i'm selling my camry to him, my camry is worth that much

[Katherine Robinson]

Not at all, it's how much was paid for it. Worth is a breakdown of assets, liquid or not, and marketing potential in this case. The most valuable teams today were purchased for far less than they art worth due to the NBA's growth.
