REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. (AP) -Oracle Corp. CEO Larry Ellison says he is interested in buying the Golden State Warriors.
Ellison told financial analysts Wednesday he’s trying to buy the team but, he says, “unfortunately you can’t have a hostile takeover of a basketball team.”
The line got laughs because the business software maker is a serial acquirer and won a hostile takeover fight in 2005 for rival PeopleSoft.
Ellison was responding to a question from a member of the audience during a conference to discuss Oracle’s plans for its latest acquisition, struggling computer server maker Sun Microsystems.
