Toronto paid 115M for an expansion wnba team, which is still completely ridiculous.
Not sure what an expansion nba team would go for. I would guess if the avg team value is 4B, probably somewhere around there. Maybe a bit less.

I’m just checked I was thinking the soccer expansions! With the WNBA though while Toronto paid 115 Austin is expected to hit 200… wild jump there alone

Yep!!! I’m super surprised Tillman didn’t bring back Houston’s… I remember going to games as a kid… we won 4 championships in a row and then folded just a few years later. Since he owns the Rockets and the arena he would essentially use the NBA to subsidize the WNBA team lol

I do think there is an argument for nba teams having wnba teams as well in the interest of growing the game and fanbases but not for 200M haha
