The Celtics just sold for $6.1 billion. Both teams have a comparable legacy, though LA is a much bigger (shared) market. At the time of the sale, the Celtics were the defending champions and favorites to win again with a young set of players. The Lakers are a contender, but would need a bit of luck to get there, and LeBron is on the wrong side of ancient.

Overall, it seems like a fair price in the context.

Yeah, 6 for Celtics seems low to me too for many of the same reasons for the Lakers. The league doesn't exist as it has or will without those two teams, they are farm more valuable than 2x or 3x the Grizzlies, for example.
