If you could become a majority owner of any NBA franchise (other then the Celtics), which team would it be and why?

The inevitable Las Vegas expansion team.

Ability to start the organization from scratch. Fun city. And no issues with the Celtics

Well I live in the Cleveland area so I'd probably say them just so I wouldn't have to move. Ha.

In all honesty it would probably be the Lakers if the Buss family wasn't the majority owner.  Biggest valuation, easiest to win at, lots of potential for return on investment. I'd be worried about the Buss family long term though.

Portland Trail Blazers.

Very nice crowd and it's a franchise that has the hunger for success. With Porter, Drexler, Roy, Aldridge, McCollum and Lillard they never made the final step. Some unfinished business.

Their current team is pretty much a blank sheet, but also no really bad longterm contracts. Kind of like that, instead of a begin situation where you just ride a team that's already a contender or a team with a subpar All Star of whom you know isn't gonna take you to the promised land.

Winning a Championship there would be huge. It would take a lot of patience. Lots of time to make very very very long walks in the woods down there.

I would pick the Chicago Bulls.

In my opinion there’s untapped potential for the Bulls because Jerry Reinsdorf has operated the franchise like a small business.

The Toronto Raptors. They play in an interesting city that NBA players seem to fall in love with after they move there. Their cap situation could become very favorable with a few moves. Masai is a great GM and I like their coach.
