The Regime Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Magic Johnson expressed interest Friday in being part of a group that buys the Pistons or at least in joining his hometown team in a front-office capacity. Johnson is currently a minority owner of the Lakers. The Lansing, Mich., native who attended Michigan State was involved with a group that in recent months made a serious bid to buy the Warriors, before Joe Lacob and Peter Gruber completed the purchase for an announced $450 million, a record for an NBA team. Johnson would have sold what is believed to be a five-percent stake in the Lakers for a larger, but unknown portion, in Golden State, while still living in L.A. http://basketball.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/68684/20100813/magic_johnson_interested_in_purchasing_pistons/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Swish* Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 He wants to do exactly like Larry Bird. If he buys the Pistons, I will wait for a Pacers vs Pistons game. Anyways, its a great idea because he loves the game so much and instead of commentating on Sundays for ABC games ( ), he will be busy everyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
