Connecticut The sun will move well, direction Boston!

Here’s a new episode of madness grandeur who seized the VNBA! While Franchise of VNBA Franchise Connecticut Sun was officially for sale for three months, several groups of investors asked to buy a franchise Connecticut Sun, including former Bucks Marc Lasri owner. The latter seemed interested in positioning the purchase offer in the amount of $ 180 million.

A few days later, we finally learn that it is The owner of Minority Celtics Steve Pagliuca followed the pool of investors who won the bet… for almost twice! The transaction would really reach $ 325 million, a franchise record in the American Women’s League, to the validity of the league management and all “governors” (owners?).

New $ 100m Training Center

But that’s not all! Sun Connecticut relocation project would also be in boxes, direction Boston! Again, VNBA management still has to confirm the idea. In any case, it makes sense, because it will allow the franchise used by a better exhibition, less than two hours of the trip from Ucasville, where it is currently. In recent years, the sun has already moved two games in the TD garden, of which last more than two weeks ago, against Indiana fever in Caitlin Clark.

If everything is confirmed, however, Connecticut Sun would play an extra season in Uncasville before crossing 2027. In Boston, where the new training center will finance Steve Pagleuca to $ 100 million, will wait for the team. Although the League experiences the explosion of its income, the sun management has not seen that it is objected to see its facilities, probably aware that the sun’s adventure has ended.

The five new Franchisans are coming! VNBA!

As a reminder, the sun belongs to the American tribe of Mohegan, who also possess Casino Uncasville. In 2003. year, Franchise moved from Orlando in Connecticut due to the amount of $ 10 million. Even if the team that was coached by a French technician Rachid Mesiane It experiences a very difficult season, in the last place in a range of 21 losses, is one of the training that has experienced the most success in the last 22 years, including six consecutive in semifinals, but also four sisters in VNBA final VNBA (2004, 2005, 2019, 2022). Connecticut Sun was also the first franchise he owned did not from the NBA, but also the first to earn profit in VNBA.

On the margins of this acquisition, VNBA has already announced the expansion of five new teams, Cleveland in 2028. year, in 2029 years, and Philadelphia. Years, each of these franchises that all franchises paid into entry up to $ 250 million.
