Everyone wants Caitlin Clark. From sponsors, fans, and leagues everyone wants to see Clark playing her game. Hence, it is not a surprise that Ice Cube’s Big3 had reportedly made an enticing offer of a whopping $5 million to Clark. But in the subsequent developments, Gilbert Arenas in the FYF Sports Debate revealed that the Big 3 did not have that kind of money. But that is certain to change.

As per a recent development by Bloomberg, the Big3 has made its first team sale for $10 million. And this could change their fortunes as well as get Clark to play for them.

As per the same report, DCB Sports will take over the reigns of the team and furthermore, the Big3 will transition from a traveling format to a city-centric format much like the WNBA and the NBA. This might get them more fanbase and also the means to acquire Clark since the teams will now be sold to different groups.

As per the same report, all 12 teams are on sale and most probably every team will be sold by summer 2025. Till then four new management owners will be announced just ahead of the season commencement in June. The league also plans to go international by having city centers in Toronto and London. This will definitely inject a lot of fan base and money into the league.

This major step will be accompanied by the 3*3 basketball carving a niche for itself in this year’s Paris Olympics. It will be the second time that the unique form of basketball has found its place in the Olympics after Tokyo. The opportunity is such that DCB Sports Managing Partner Gary LaDrido thanked Ice Cube for “trust us to usher that in.” It seems that the money the Big3 lacked as per Arenas will finally be in and Clark will fit in the league.

Arenas had previously reckoned that Clark’s admission to the league will not be possible since “The main captains they get eight grand if they win. So it’s like so it’s seven grand, eight if they win, six if they lose, that’s the main guy.” Furthermore, he had deduced that Clark wouldget 600,000 per game what you ain’t got that kind of money I’mma just be honest with you.”

Hopefully, the Big3 will soon get Clark on their roster, and fans will be excited to hear this announcement, especially after the $10 million move. Furthermore, fans would be hoping to see all their teams get sold so that it nullifies Arenas’s view of the Big3 and the league picks off.
