Magic Johnson Wins Auction for Los Angeles Dodgers
By MATTHEW FUTTERMAN
Basketball legend Magic Johnson led a group that won an auction for the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team Tuesday night, marking the final chapter of in a soap-opera style saga for the legendary franchise, according to people involved in the process.

With a bid of $2 billion, Johnson and partners Peter Guber, Stan Kasten, Bobby Patton and Todd Boehly beat out a group of some of the wealthiest businessmen in the country to land a team that is one of Major League Baseball's flagship franchises. The sales figure shatters the previous record sales price for a U.S. sports franchise, Steve Ross's purchase of the Miami Dolphins for $1.1 billion three years ago.

But buying the Dodgers now comes with a unique opportunity to launch a potentially lucrative regional sports network in the country's second largest market, or sign a new local broadcast deal with the current broadcaster, News Corp.'s NWSA +0.30%Fox unit, which has already offered the team a 17-year extension valued at nearly $3 billion. (News Corp. also owns The Wall Street Journal).

Jerryd Bayless is out for the season.


The Toronto Raptors announced Tuesday guard Jerryd Bayless is expected to be sidelined the remainder of the 2011-12 season with a partially torn left oblique muscle. He underwent tests today at Toronto&rsquo;s Mount Sinai Hospital.

Bayless left Monday&rsquo;s game versus Orlando at the 5:25 mark of the second quarter and did not return.

Bayless, in his second season with Toronto, has averaged 11.4 points, 3.8 assists and 22.7 minutes. He started five games from March 11-17, averaging 21.8 points and 7.6 assists, shooting .543 per cent from the field and .571 per cent from three-point range.

Isn't it strange that you always guys from bad teams go down with injuries? Think about the teams most affected by injury this year, teams like New Jersey, New Orleans, Toronto, and it seems like its always teams like that that will lose their best player at the start of the season when they finally look like they might have a good year or something.

Magic is being used as the face of the group which is buying the LA Dodgers for 2.5 billion.

Magic doesn't have 2.5 billion on his own. He probably doesn't have a hundred million.

Re: NBA Off Topic

I always had the impression that Rodman was a nice guy. My step-dad met Rodman in a bar in Chicago and Rodman bought the entire bar drinks.

I guess the best comparison to Rodman in today's NBA is Ron Artest. Crazy as hell, but a genuinely nice guy. Though Ron is not nearly the player that Dennis was.

If you feel Artest is genuinely a good guy, we obviously have very different ideas on what a good guy is.

Why isn't he? Please don't simply reference "The Brawl" as the sole indicator of Ron's character.
