Rosters to Rings welcomes back former NBA GM and longtime friend of the program Ryan McDonough to break down the rapidly changing business of sports ownership. Ryan joins Thad Levine and Chet West to discuss the explosion in NBA franchise valuations, the rise of minority ownership, and why sports teams are becoming increasingly attractive investment opportunities.

Ryan also explains why the Timberwolves sale looked like a bargain in hindsight, what makes the Lakers such a uniquely valuable franchise, how his Sports Ownership Group evaluates potential investments, and why relationships and insider knowledge can be just as valuable as capital. Plus, a look at the future of NBA expansion, the growing role of syndicate-style ownership, and why MLB could be the next major sports ownership market to heat up.
