Wow! Imagine a NBA franchise being handed down to you from your father. Even if you don't give two sh*ts about basketball or sports in general, you don't have to be a hands on Mark Cuban or Jerry Jones type, just hire a guy that'll do everything for you (president of basketball operations) and you kick back and chill. I believe the Angels owner Arte Moreno is going through the same thing as his kids don't want anything to do with the team. As a sports fan, it's unreal to even fathom this sort of thinking :why:
that's become a thing. Part of why A-Rod's even in position to buy a pro basketball team at a discount is because the current owner's family wants nothing to do with the team.

If you're a child and you're living your life, going from that to being an owner and having to delegate all these jobs is a lot. Also, not many people who own teams make that their only source of income or their primary source of income.

Who cares. That team is not winning shyt anytime soon. Cuban used to spend on contracts. That new ownership will probably start making cuts, in a year or two, to save money.

doubt it, its prob her son matan adelson who owns a basketball team in jerusalem that will take the reigns
