No SuperSonics 10g for Larry Ellison
July 21st, 2006 by The Oracle AlchemistLooks like buying a sports team isn’t as easy as buying a yacht. According to this article, Larry put down a $425 million bid for the Seattle SuperSonics with the hopes of bringing the team to San Jose.
Unfortunately for him, the owners chose a group of Oklahoma investors at a lower price of $300 million because they offered a much better chance of leaving the team in Seattle where they wished to remain.
Too bad for Larry! It would have been interesting to see what he might have done with it. San Jose SuperSonics - Unbreakable. Get your players on the Grid? PointGuard Failover a definite must.
Sorry Larry…maybe next time.
