NFT: Value of Knicks up to 2.5 billion

DanMetroMan : 1/21/2015 12:08 pm
The value of the New York Knicks shot up 79% to $2.5 billion, ranking the team second overall (the Knicks edged out the Lakers last year). Ratings for Knicks games on MSG fell 29% as the team stumbled to a 37-45 record, but the team still drew the biggest TV audience in the NBA at 163,000 viewers per game on average. The Knicks’ income fell 45% last season after missing the playoffs and incurring a $36 million luxury tax bill. Rounding out the top five are the Chicago Bulls ($2 billion), Boston Celtics ($1.7 billion) and Los Angeles Clippers ($1.6 billion).

may buy out Larry Sanders. I know he has MAJOR issues with weed but that's the kind of pick up I wouldn't mind the Knicks looking into for the remainder of the season. Some sort of non-guaranteed deal with low team options would be a great gamble. Potentially adding a good, young player at a reduced price.
no reason not to roll the dice on Sanders

Excellent defensive centers are hard to find
No time like the present to cash out Jimmy...

The Milwaukee Bucks are expected by sources around the NBA to eventually discuss a buyout with Larry Sanders.

Sanders and the Bucks have yet to hold talks, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.

Sanders is in the first season of a four-year, $44 million extension.

Sanders is currently on a minimum 10-game suspension for a drug violation. This is Sanders' fourth violation of the NBA's testing rules.
They do better than the Yankees

Most consider this a baseball town but it looks like the woeful knicks score better ratings than the yankees and of course the mets.
Knicks are kings of NY - ( New Window )
Wow. Imagine what the Knicks would be worth

if they were any good.
Which

is why the 60 million for Phil Jackson makes perfect sense. Not that Jimmy would ever sell but a good Knicks team probably fetches close to 4 billion...

here who maybe has a kid or something who would love to go want 2 free tix for the Knicks game on Monday night? They are my seats, can email them to you. Would rather give them to someone who will bring their kid who won't care how bad the Knicks are and will enjoy themselves.

They are in section 212 row 6

no, not really.
Basketball is the only NY sport where there really is just one game in town.
The Knicks get pretty much the whole pie, while other teams to some extent must split part of the pie, artificially lowering their ratings.
don't even try

to argue that hockey is more popular than basketball in New York, because it isn't and it's not even close.
Definitely helps the Knicks' ratings that there's no nba  
Mad Mike : 1/21/2015 8:06 pm : link
team in Pittsburgh for them to split fans with.
What the hell do they think they're doing?
