A Seattle group led by billionaire Kraken co-owner David Bonderman — and spearheaded by his daughter, team co-owner Samantha Holloway — is expected to bid for a franchise without local competition as it’s a partner with the city in the only NBA-ready arena Seattle has. Bonderman is a minority owner of the NBA’s Boston Celtics, but is expected to divest that stake after the team last month was put up for sale.
