the raptors rank 10th in team revenue but 6th in operating income which means we are one of the more profitable teams in the league..others surprisng numbers are the negative operating income of the heat and the mavericks..alsothe knicks made the most money with 64 million followed by the bulls with 51 million...and the biggest stunner of all..the magic lost the most money with a negative 23 million operating income, you can bet superman wont be returning to orlando after next season..(assuming that we have one)

[Centre Court]

The NBA players association will love these numbers. Doesn't look like a league that's losing $300 million+ per year.

[RaptorReloaded]

Our **** team is top ten in profit!? Imagine if we were ever a legit contender.. Would we break top 5?

[theSkinny]

We have pretty high ticket prices, and a lowish salary overall so I a really not surprised.

Miami can't get people in their seats so being a losing value team does not surprise me either.

[arbsn]

Raptors have a very good Canada-wide TV deal - each broadcast reaches 33 million people whereas a team like the Bucks have a reach of 6 million people in Wisconsin so unless they get national coverage through TNT or ESPN they have less than a fifth of the potential viewers as the Raptors

[Indeed]

More importantly, Canadian dollar is on par with US dollar.

[Lawnmower Man]

It's humiliating how Toronto Sports franchises are the worst in North America.

They have everything going for them, yet they still fail.

They would need to put us in a whole new economic bracket.

Is it really? I've been noticing my Big Mac meals have started to look more Canadian pricing.

This was already discussed over half a year ago

C'mon mods, wake up!

And yet people were still surprised that BC was re-signed...

Many people aren't happy with his basketball record while in Toronto, and with good reason, but let's not pretend this organization isn't well-run. It's pretty plain that the compromise from MLSE to BC became - hire someone to run basketball operations and you keep turning a profit. We can keep you in perpetuity by insulating you from the blame of the on court failures of the team this way, and virtually guarantee continued prosperity at the same time. Sounds like a plan.

[HiteshMOTM]

it's mainly because the Raptors are the only canadian team

[ItsDanger]

Forbes is a joke. These arent stand-alone operations. Its virtually impossible to determine accurate #'s. Operating income doesnt include various expenses incurred.

Colangelo has no affect on this.... This franchise has been supported since day 1.

Just like Brian Burke has no affect on the Leafs making a profit. Whether the Leafs or Raps
win or lose people will pay MLSE ticket prices to go to games and they will watch on TV.

Both Colangelo and Burke spend up to the Salary cap and produce losing teams. You
could replace them with chimps and produce the same results and this market will support
both teams.

Say what you want about MLSE but they know how to run a successful business and they are
benefactors of a huge loyal market with lots of wealthy consumers.

Looks like 16 teams had operating losses. And that typical doesn't include interest expense.

In the case of the Raptors, I'm fairly certain they did less well than a year earlier in Canadian dollar terms. The appreciation of the C$ pretty much accounts for the small improvement in US$-denominated revenues.

There were a lot more empty seats at the ACC last season. Prices had been jacked up one more time, but I don't see the benefit being big enough to offset the fall in attendance. And last season, there were deals for every game, so the real per-seat revenue was likely worse than even the attendance would suggest.
