People keep saying this and it's meaningless. The current owners can't move the team. But they are hedge fund guys. Expecting them to hold an asset that has appreciated is idiotic. I can't imagine these guys holding onto the Bucks for more than a decade.
Plus, it wasn't a "if you move we take them back" it was "if you move we CAN take them back" so if Milwaukee actually grows up and stops giving billionaires handouts, the NBA will probably push for the new owners to move them.
It's not that I want the Bucks to move, it's just that they have to be one of the most apathetic and sorry franchises in professional sports. Or one of the most broke so you never really saw them marketed? I dunno, the Brewers were always a big deal despite a lack of success.
This was actually pretty fascinating:
