The NBA has signed off on Michael Jordan's bid to buy the Charlotte Bobcats

Commissioner David Stern expects the league's board of governors to approve the purchase by the end of next week.

In an interview with The Associated Press on Friday, Stern says he expects the vote to pass "very easily." Jordan will become the first ex-player to own an NBA team and the second black majority owner. He'll replace the first, Bob Johnson, who has lost tens of millions of dollars.

Stern says Jordan is the sole investor in the ownership group, but expects him to try to find local partners. Jordan has been a part-owner of the Bobcats and has had the final say on all basketball decisions since 2006.

Wow, he purchased the team himself....

Is Nelly still part owner?

I was actually thinking the same thing.

Wasn't Jordan part owner? So didn't he just need to buy out Robert's share? I would assume Nelly would still have his share, but still Jordan owns the majority, he can buy Nelly out of his?

I really don't know... just guessing.

    • lol we are gonna have to pay Bryce like 75mil a year now when it comes time to extend him
    • Both Rams 1st rounders would have been Morgan’s picks. Also, if we didn’t have to trade the boat for Young, the 1st overall pick we gave away would have also been Morgan’s pick as Fitterer tied his future to Young and Young’s rookie year with Reich was going to tank Fitterer regardless. There would be no excuse to keep him longer. Also am I in the twilight zone here? Should have sold off all our talent? Are Moore, Burns and CMC still on the roster now? I feel like I would have noticed them last season.
    • Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.
