As odd as it would be to see this ex laker star as our owner, I would be all for it.

Looks at how he and his group have turned the dodgers around after the mccourt situation though. And the LA sparks wnba team. They know what they're doing.

Magic is the only Laker I've ever liked. I'm all for this.

The one issue I have with this is that a black man would be paying Sterling over a billion dollars.

This.

anything, OBVIOUSLY, is a step up in this situation....
but I do trust Magic's team or any team he'd be apart of to make us a winner.

Magic is a competitor. I can imagine him doing his best to try and stic it to Jim Buss for being a wack, sorry owner after his father by beating the hell out of him 4 times a year and winning multiple titles.

its hard to trust Magic and the idea he want scew us over if he fixes things with Buss. He is still more connected to the Lakers than MJ and the Bulls.

Don't even care personally. DTS is already worth so much money, if someone is willing to throw him another 5,6,700M and it means he will be gone I am 100% fine w that.

They wouldn't invest alllllll that money to buy the team, only to bring it down. DTS is doing a great job of that on his own

I'd be more confident that this group would keep the team in LA. Even better that they would build their own arena for the team. But does Magic really have to be part of it? I don't really know if he wants Laker fans to hold this grudge against him.

Magic is just a big name but a small part of a group. It would actually be a group of Jews paying a fellow Jew.

Magic is just a mouth piece....for all the credit you guys seem to be giving Magic for the dodgers, what exactly is the dodgers doing thats anything special right now? They have a pretty medicore record for a team with a payroll that rivals the yankees of old.

Sell it to Magic

Sounds like a solution

Sterling cannot be safe at games and in the public
He should sell.

Free Agents will not come to the Clippers as long as Sterling has
his name in the Clippers.

Name Change

Return to Los Angeles Clippers
