Crazy. I wonder if he can somehow drum up more interest in the team?

:applause: Props to Magic Johnson and the Dodgers ownership group on this purchase. The Sparks are a great team and one of the staples of the WNBA. The future of the WNBA ddepends on owners like Magic and Glen Taylor, just to name a few, who actually believe in the WNBA and willing to commit to the league. Props, Magic

Not sure if it is a smart trade since under Adam Silver, NBA might change the policy about backing WNBA. But if it will be the same, good for him.
