The New York Knicks is the most valuable NBA franchise and is currently valued at $592m.
The Portland Trailblazers are the cheapest NBA franchise and is currently valued at $230m.
I think the Blazers are for sale (current owner Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen wants out) so you could probably buy them but they lose $15m a year and you would need to fund those losses from your other income.
If you only had $500m it is probably not enough to afford it.

The Knicks are the most expensive in the NBA. I'm guessing a couple of hundred millions for the Knicks. The cheapest teams would be the Devil Rays or Marlins form the MLB. For NBA I would think the Magic because rumor has it that the owners want to sell the team to someone.

the Knicks unbelieveably are the highest valued NBA franchise...perhaps because of the market they are in (NY)...that 500 mil would be a good down payment( the team is valued at just under 600 mil)...various sports teams in different markets are worth more or less, mostly according to the market size (area)...and marketability (if they win and are popular are things sponsors look for)...then you have to be approved as to whether or not you will be allowed to buy a team...
