The Sterling family’s sell of the Clippers for $2 billion seems to have some NBA owners interested in knowing the value of their franchises.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports is reporting that Brooklyn Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov has started to listen to offers for the Nets from prospective buyers.
“Just listening so far,” a league official with direct knowledge told Yahoo Sports. “They haven’t indicated a desire or willingness to sell. …Nothing was initiated by [Prokhorov].”
The report states that as of now Prokhorov and his company seem to be interested in finding out just how much the Nets would fetch on the open market.
Prokhorov believes the combination of the Nets, the Barclays Center and the Brooklyn location could get him somewhere around $2 billion as well.
Prokhorov bought the Nets and a percentage of Barclays Center for $223 million.
