Is it against the CBA for a Player to Negotiate partial ownership of a Team when he signs with them.

Such as can Lebron when he become a UFA, ask the Nets for a % of the Team?

Thanks. Just Curious. I think I read that it was, but wanted to make sure.

yes, that's not legal. Magic Johnson had to sell his portion of the Lakers back to Buss when he came back to coach.

I remember A-Rod asked the Yankees for a portion of ownership in contract negotiations and they told him to **** off.
