The entry fee is 250 million! The Rockets boss wants to invest in a new project, and Durant may win 24 million less for the championship

With popular stars like Caitlin Clark and Angel Rees joining, the WNBA has begun to become popular and has become the investment target of many rich people.

Previously, the investment group led by Celtics' minority shareholder Steve Paliuca has reached an agreement with the WNBA Connecticut Suns to acquire the team for $325 million and relocate it to Boston. The WNBA league plans to expand and has announced five new teams in the next five years, namely Portland, Toronto, Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia. The WNBA's entry fee reaches $250 million, and each new team needs to pay this amount.

99 more cities have submitted applications for joining, including Houston. Rockets boss Fertitta wants to invest in new projects and he wants to bring the WNBA back to Houston. Some fans joked: The name of the new team is Houston Comet.

The Houston Comet was once a WNBA dynasty team. It was founded in 1997. Its first boss was Alexander, a familiar Chinese fan. Alexander was once the Rockets boss and later sold it to Feltita. Alexander was smart and stingy. He chose to sell the Comets during the decline, and the team was later forced to disband.

reporters who specialize in WNBA revealed that if Fertita is willing to pay $250 million, the league may approve it.

Feltita spent $2.2 billion to buy the Rockets, and some people think he was the buyer. In an interview, Fertita expressed optimism about the future development prospects of the NBA and the Rockets will appreciate significantly. Now the Rockets' market value is close to $6 billion, and Fertita's assets are close to $10 billion, and he has a good investment vision.

Although Fertita is rich now, he will also avoid paying punitive luxury taxes. Stone can save money for the boss. His ability to talk about contracts is at the top level of the league, so he is deeply trusted by Fertitta.

The Rockets have been unable to reach a contract renewal with Ethan, and Durant's contract renewal has made no progress. The Rockets are not in a hurry to lower the price.

Ethan and Durant both have one year contract, and the former will become restricted free agents upon expiration.

Salary experts say that Durant's early renewal deadline is June 30 next year, and the two sides have plenty of time to negotiate.

Celebrity reporter Tim MacMahon said when participating in the show that he believes Durant's next contract will not be a maximum salary, and both parties will take a patient approach to deal with the contract extension. MacMahon believes Durant will make concessions. His reason is that if Durant wants a maximum salary, then that big deal may not be reached, and he will choose to stay in the Suns instead of joining the Rockets.

NBC Sports reporters previously said that Durant may receive a two-year, $100 million contract extension in order to compete for the championship. Durant can sign a two-year, $124 million early contract renewal with the Rockets.

Durant's good brother Harden once chose to sacrifice money for the NBA championship, but the final result was not as he wished.

After joining the Clippers, Harden talked about his old team 76ers: In order to make the team better, I took the initiative to cut my salary by $26 million. I took less money and sacrificed my role. A lot of reports about me are not true. Some say I want to leave for the right to the ball, some say it is for the money, but look at what I did in Philadelphia and you will have the answer.
