Oh that wacky JE Skeets.

He should stick to the podcast with that guy who looks like Jim Rome but sounds like Brian Posehn and leave the comedy to someone else :lol:

Breaking news: Mark Cuban buys Lakers
By J.E. Skeets
Kurt of Forum Blue and Gold reports:

Saying "If you can’t beat them, join them," the very public owner of the Dallas Mavericks has purchased a majority share of the Los Angeles Lakers from Dr. Jerry Buss.

Cuban made the announcement via Twitter.

While the final price was not made public, it is believed to be well more than the $584 million that Forbes estimated the Lakers franchise was worth. Cuban said he was glad to overpay — that it was worth it just to see David Stern’s face when he has to hand him the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

"He dodged that bullet a couple years ago that he had the refs call a foul on my guys (the Mavericks) for even looking at Dwyane Wade," Cuban said. "Let's see him stop me now."

If Cuban cannot win the title with the Lakers this year, he has promised to make lopsided trades that would bring Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry and other key Mavericks over to the Lakers to form an unbeatable Überteam that would not only win a title but would also obliterate the current single season wins record.

Crazy.

can somebody confirm this, I refuse to beleive it.

might be Aprils fools prank.
