Oracle: Will Larry Ellison Buy The Golden State Warriors?: "

The NBA’s Golden State Warriors play their games in Oakland’s Oracle Arena. So maybe it shouldn’t be surprising that Oracle (ORCL) CEO Larry Ellison might be interested in buying the team.

Oakland Tribune columnist Monte Poole writes in Sunday’s paper that Ellison will be sitting courtside Monday night when the Cleveland Cavaliers come to Oakland - and notes that the billionaire exec might interested in buying the team:

Ellison has expressed an interest in owning the Warriors, and every player, team employee and fan should be forgiven for praying that he is serious.

The Warriors need to make an impression. They must show themselves to be irresistible.

Which is to say Monday’s event might be perceived by the Warriors as less a basketball game than an audition. It’s an opportunity for the team and its fans to make an inspired plea for help.

While he’s added, maybe he could do the NFL a favor and pry the Raiders away from Al Davis.
