He already owns the Cleveland Browns and is a part-owner of the MLS’s Columbus Crew, and now Jimmy Haslam and the Haslam Sports Group are in “serious talks” to expand their ownership into the NBA. According to NBA insider Shams Charania, Haslam Sports Group is on the verge of purchasing a large stake in the Milwaukee Bucks.
Looking to buy out the shares of current part-owner Marc Lasry, Haslam would join Wes Edens as the second co-owner of the Bucks if the purchase were to go through. Hopefully, we get to the point where Haslam has to become less hands-on with the Browns as he continues to diversify his portfolio.
