    I'm sure he was before purchasing the Dodgers. All the restaurant chain and movie theater profit

    It's funny because he denied this just yesterday on national television when Bill Simmons mentioned it. Very next day he's looking into it.

    are Woj's sources BS this time, or is Magic trying to keep it under wrap?

    Not sure..but if Magic was, now wouldn't be the time for him to say so since the Clippers arent up for sale right now.

    Oh goodness, that would definitely change the Lakers future if Magic was in control of the Clippers.

    BREAKING NEWS
    Clippers have traded Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and Doc Rivers for the contracts of Pau Gasol and Steve Nash, Jordan Hill, Swaggy P and future 2nd Round pick considerations. (Woj)

    I can see that happening the minute Magic gets the Clippers. And the NBA wouldn't blink an eye. The cash cow Lakers return to providence while the lowly Clippers continue to live in the sewers of the NBA.

    Clipper fans, I hope you enjoyed your 3 years of relevance...

    Apparently Magic bought the Houston Pavillions, hes renovating them like crazy right now. Ive read reports where he also owns a ton of McDonalds in the area. He's got $$$.

    If that Oracle CEO winds up with the team he's gonna hook the GM up with the most advanced computing and analytics resources available. Computing power and personnel. IBM's Watson will be coaching the damn team.

    You think Sterling would sell it to a black person?

    He won't have a choice.

    The NBA sales process is that they seize the team and the NBA oversees the sale.

    The NBA can sell the Clippers to Oprah, Magic, or Snoop and Sterling wouldn't have a say in the outcome.
