Source: Jazz Could Be Sold If CBA Doesn't Change Small Market Equation

Nov 21, 2011 1:22 AM

The Jazz were expected to report losses in the $17 million range for the 10-11 season, according to a source with knowledge of the ownership's finances.

The source also says economic hardships facing small market teams could mean the Jazz would be put up for sale if a new collective bargaining agreement is unfavorable.

"If I was a betting man," the source said, "my guess is that the Millers will sell the team within the next five years, unless this CBA changes the formula so that the team can make some money."

Many others can't envision the Miller family ever selling the Jazz.

Dave Checketts is one such person.

"I think the Jazz have a tremendous, tremendous fan following. I think teams like that will always exist in the markets they're in," said Checketts, whose resume includes time spent as the Jazz's president and general manager.

"I don't think the Jazz are an endangered species."

According to Forbes, the Jazz are the 16th most valuable NBA franchise and are worth $343 million.
