I just had the thought pop in my head yesterday that it must drive someone like him absolutely insane to lose this much. Wonder if that's motivating this at all.

Would be really cool if he turned around and bought the Bulls from Reinsdorf, though that seems unlikely.

Finally he'll have the money to afford a decent pair of pants.

While I liked having the GOAT as owner, he wasn't putting in the resources needed to run the team properly.

Excited for the new direction of the franchise! Couldn't be happier

he's not an idle bystander. he just sucks at this aspect of the game and this looks like he's admitting defeat.

He’s going to make a fortune, but knowing him it probably eats at him that his teams weren’t successful during his tenure

He’s connected to the league already enough is what he’s thinking. It’s not like he’s a lame billionaire like the Warriors owner who has the team to feed his personal ego.

Good for Jordan. Time to move onto another passion project

Considering the club’s value has appreciated by around $1.5 billion since he purchased it, I’m gonna guess he can buy whatever outfit he feels like wearing on any given day.

I don’t see Bulls fans welcoming this considering how the Hornets turned out. The poor draft picks over the years, the favored personnel hires, etc. Unless he’d change his attitude on running a franchise then I hope it happens!

I agree he's been a horrible owner. But as a Bulls fan, it would be so cool to see him as owner of the Bulls and around all the time.

I would hope so. Jordan is so petty that I doubt it. Him and Charles together are pure gold, though.

Charlotte desperately needs a facelift, and starting from the very top might be the play.
