Cash out at a high level! Trail Blazers sold 4 billion! Su Qun: Yang Hansen s arrival made them sell an additional 500 million

Recently, the NBA has set off a wave of team sales, and the news of equity changes in multiple teams has attracted widespread attention, among which the Portland Trail Blazers' deal with the Boston Celtics is particularly eye-catching.

Look at the Boston Celtics first. The NBA official announced today that the board of directors has unanimously approved the team's equity transfer transaction. The deal was reached back in March this year, led by an investment group led by Chisholm, co-founder of Symphony Technology Group, to acquire Celtics from the Grosbeck family at a valuation of $6.1 billion.

As planned, Chisholm Group will acquire 51% of the team's shares this summer, with the remainder closing in 2028. With the approval of the deal, former boss Wake Grosbeck will no longer serve as the team's director, and Chisholm will take over the position, but Grosbeck will continue to serve as the team's CEO and substitute president, and the transfer of relevant powers is expected to be completed soon.

At almost the same time, news of the Portland Trail Blazers' change of ownership also attracted much attention. NHL Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dungton has agreed to buy the Trail Blazers from Paul Allen’s legacy at a valuation of more than $4 billion, and its team intends to keep the team in Portland, according to ESPN reporter Shams.

It is worth mentioning that Paul Allen spent only $70 million when he acquired the Trail Blazers in 1988, and the team's value increased significantly over the past three decades. Su Qun, a famous domestic basketball guru, also specifically mentioned: "The Trail Blazers sold $4.2 billion to the ice hockey team owner Dunton. Yang Hansen's arrival made the Trail Blazers sell 500 million more."

Interestingly, the Trail Blazers' valuation of $4 billion and the Celtics' valuation of $6.1 billion, the total is about $10.1 billion, which is almost equivalent to the valuation of the Los Angeles Lakers.

In June this year, Mark Walter bought most of the Lakers' equity from the Bass family, when the deal valued the Lakers at about $10 billion, setting the highest transaction price record for professional sports teams around the world.

However, the approval progress of each team's transaction is different. Trail Blazers reporter Sean Highkin revealed that the Celtics sale deal was approved by the league board today, while the Lakers' deal reached in June has not yet been approved, and the Trail Blazers' deal is expected to be approved until next year's All-Star Game.

Fans also had a heated discussion on this series of team sales events. Some fans are worried: "Many team bosses are not optimistic about the future of the NBA, because Jendoku is about to retire, and no one in the new generation can bear the banner, and the NBA may be lonely."

Some fans also analyzed from an economic perspective: "The global economic downturn will inevitably affect the league's income, and the salary of players is getting higher and higher, so they can only cash out at a high level."

Some people mentioned the specific reasons for the sale of different teams: "The Trail Blazers Allen does not like basketball, and the Lakers do not have enough funds to participate in competition in this era. The Celtics are the boss who has gone over 90. If one day, his son inherits, he has to pay more than 40% inheritance tax to inherit. The family's cash flow is not enough, and it is easy to avoid taxes."

Of course, some fans believe that "selling the team in the NBA The league makes a big profit, how can it not be approved?" and joked that "The Lakers are still great, the team value = Trail Blazers + Kaizi."

The equity changes of these teams not only reflect the fluctuations in the business value of the NBA, but also reflect the opportunities and challenges faced by the league in the changes of the times. What changes will these new bosses bring to the team in the future are undoubtedly worth looking forward to.
