It will be kind of difficult managing it from his new home in a non-extraditable country.

His salary as Potus was/is 400 or so thousand per year. About double that of a four star.

"Obama would move forward only "under the right circumstances."

The right circumstances being that it be given to him gratis. An NBA team is worth on the order of a billion dollars. Even a 10% ownership would cost a hundred million. Obama couldn't even cough up 1 percent of that.

I believe he could just issue an executive order that the team he prefers is really his own. Who would stop him? The GOP? The judiciary? Nobody. He wins.

It might do him some good. It would be the first time in his life he ever had to manage people and run an enterprise for profit. If he has a shred of intelligence (which I doubt), it might even open his eyes a little on just how destructive his policies have been.
