Contraction a Real Possibility in Milwaukee?

Basketball News & NBA Rumors

If the rich boys get their way, aided and abetted by the slithery commissioner, one of the likely candidates for contraction (read elimination) could very well be the Milwaukee Bucks.

According to Forbes Magazine, which might or not be right, the Bucks are the lowest valued team in the NBA at something over just $250 million. That estimate, and let’s be real clear that this is only an estimate, is based on a lot of things including building situation (age, lease terms, amenities, revenue producing elements), the size of the media market and existing media revenues, season ticket base, player contract values (debt to value ratio) and something intangible called the excitement factor.
