The most valuable NBA franchise is neither the Lakers nor the New York Knicks

The Golden State Warriors remain the most valuable franchise in the NBA, valued at $13.5 billion, a 23% increase from the previous year. Owned by Joe Lacob and Peter Guber, they generated $942 million and achieved an operating profit of $364 million. The New York Knicks are in second place, valued at $12.6 billion (+29%), with revenues of $640 million and a profit of $140 million.

Los Angeles Lakers complete the podium with $12.5 billion (+25%), following their sale from Mark Walter to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for that amount, $2.5 billion more than what Walter paid ten months earlier. The deal, like the purchase of the Minnesota Timberwolves by Marc Stad, who also acquired the Minnesota Lynx in a combined deal valued at $4.5 billion, is pending approval from the NBA Board of Governors. Walter, CEO of Guggenheim Partners, is being investigated for loans issued between his companies.
