r/NBA, let’s buy 0.5% of the Grizzlies



With the news that the NBA is allowing 0.5% ownership of teams, and r/NBA sitting at around 8 million in size, it’s the perfect time for us degenerates to buy a half-percentage of a team

Why the Grizzlies, you may ask? This random blog says they’re the cheapest NBA team to own, with a valuation of $1.3 billion: https://dunkorthree.com/cheapest-nba-teams/

Now, all 8 million of us won’t be able to chip in: maybe folks won’t see this post. Maybe people don’t have a few bucks lying around. Maybe some bots or inactive accounts are in our presence. So that is why I am suggesting that 1 million of us chip in $6.50 to buy a 0.5% ($6.5 million) share in the Grizzlies

If we rinse and repeat that low, low price of $6.50 weekly, in less than *two years* r/NBA will own a majority share in the Memphis Grizzlies

From there, it’s game over for the league. With our superior and infallible combined knowledge of the game, the Grizzlies will be perennial title contenders for years to come

Mods, get this started

    leave this up mods. let the man cook

  2. Special-Sympathy-919

    I’ll double it to 13$ if you let me coach the team

  3. Positive_Parking_954

    If we created a formal ownership group Ithink we would be rejected since with such minimal investment We’d be less incentivized to be all invested in the league

  4. DynamixRo

    Mods have enough on their plates as it is after those API changes, so I volunteer to help out by collecting everyone’s investment.

    Let’s do this! Fr ! 6.50 won’t hurt!

  6. Iz-u-heem

    There has to be some type of guru, or lawyer who can get this done! It would be dope as hell if Memphis did a special r nba jersey .

  7. KneelBeforeCube

    I’m down, let’s do it. And then, I don’t know, maybe trade JJJ, Bane and all our picks for solid vets like say DeRozan and Vucevic. I’m spitballing here.

  8. ositola

    I’ll pay three figures to be the stadium dj

  9. Paused_Toast

    1st Move. Relocate the team to Alaska

  10. quitnus

    The Grizzlies have a charter school, I wouldn’t let r/nba anywhere near kids.

  11. Akumetsu33

    I’ll pay you a whooping $10 with the condition I play, start every game and average 40mpg

  12. Brozilean

    This really puts into perspective how much 6.5 million is, as well as how much 1.3 billion is for that to only be 0.5 percent.

    Ja Morant, start learning Chinese buddy.

    I don’t understand this part. Wouldn’t this only be a one time purchase?

  15. Davidsilak

    Hear me out: we do the $6.50 each for 6.5m THEN we put it all on Black 28 on roulette….that’s 234m then we put that on red. That’s 468m. Put that all on 1st 12……that’s 1.4b — then we buy the team outright and all get back like $100

  16. alex_purnis

    this is gonna end up like the LoL reddit team

  17. BeardeddBombshell

    Am I allowed to be Ja’s life coach? I’m from the part of Detroit that people avoid. I can teach him how to be more hood than he ever could have fathomed.

  18. EkruGold

    I am 100% in on this. That sounds fucking fun.

    There should be a poll asking “Would you be down for chipping in $6.50?”, with one of the options being ‘Yes’, ‘No’, and ‘Yes, I’d actually pitch $13 to cover myself, and for one who doesn’t want to’.

    That way, you can get better results on the possibility.

  19. I think we’d all be better off just using that money to buy drugs.

  20. mamamo12345

    I have exactly that amount of money left. Let’s do it.

  21. WaltJay

    Can we use our Reddit coins for payment?

  22. Wallstreettrappin

    I’ll chip in three-fiddy! Let’s make this happen

  23. grizzlysquare

    I’ve already put my name into the race. I am grizzly after all! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity girls/boys/rejects, let’s do this!

  24. timorousme

    can we move them back to vancouver? 😇

  25. GreatAmerican1776

    Sounds good. Everybody send me their $6.50 and I’ll take care of the rest.

  26. alex_119

    Gimme 10% of T shirt sales and i’ll be your partner.

  27. that1prince

    As an attorney, I’ll be the assigned lawyer and counselor for all players on the Grizzlies. How hard can it be??

  28. bailey1149

    The logical move to make would be to trade for all ten players with the last name Williams and make that your playing rotation.

    Shit, Memphis already has two. Make a trade with OKC, snag their three Williams, and you are half way there with a single transaction.

  29. Safe_Caterpillar7521

    Ya know, under such a model, the citizens of a city could own a team. But that would be stupid, we need these really smart rich people to run the teams

  30. harley_93davidson

    If this sub actually legit did this and I didn’t think it was a scam I’d 100% want this sub to be majority owner of the grizz.

  31. Maverick916

    I’m in. Ill put up my paypal address, yall send me the money

  32. Seref15

    I’m gonna make Steven Adams gently rock me to sleep like a baby.

  33. PM_ME_LADY_ANKLES

    Does a vast majority of our ownership group being in middle school hurt our chances?
