An activist investor wants James Dolan to sell the New York Knicks. This was reported following the LA Lakers’ record $10 billion valuation sale. The activist, Jonathan Boyar, is interested in knowing how much the Knicks could be sold for after the Lakers’ move.The president of Boyar Value Group urged Dolan to make a business move to split the NBA franchise from the Madison Square Garden Sports Corporation. He also suggested that Dolan should sell the team, which was his advice for the New York Rangers as well.According to Forbes, the Knicks are valued at $7.5 billion, and Boyar believes they are “massively undervalued.”鈥淏ased on recent transactions鈥攍ike the Lakers鈥 announced $10 billion sale鈥攖hose Forbes numbers may even be conservative,鈥 Boyar said. 鈥淭he market is dramatically mispricing these assets.

The conversation about it started to pick up momentum after the Lakers’ impending $10 billion sale. However, Bill Simmons believes the talks about expansion have not moved forward because of James Dolan.In a conversation with Chris Mannix on his podcast, “The Bill Simmons Show,” the longtime columnist brought up the Knicks owner.”You know who’s roadblocking them right now? James Dolan. He’s got a little cabal of anti-expansion owners just because doesn’t want it. He doesn’t want to share the media rights,” Simmons said (1:01:55).According to Simmons and Mannix, the Knicks’ owner has consistently said “no” to suggestions during league meetings. However, Commissioner Adam Silver has been vocal about the league’s goal to add teams.There have been rumors that the NBA will welcome a Las Vegas franchise soon.
