Stephen Curry-led-Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob recently expressed his interest in buying a franchise in a place over 340 miles away from San Francisco, Los Angeles. However, the franchise he is eyeing is neither the Los Angeles Lakers nor the Los Angeles Clippers. The franchise is, in fact, not a part of the NBA. Fans would be surprised with which franchise has piqued the interest of Lacob.

Lacob purchased the Warriors in 2010 for around $450 million. Since then, over the years, he built their home court, Chase Center, and invested sensibly to win four-championships in a span of eight years. However, now the 66-year-old is finally looking forward to buying the $2.2 billion franchise he has been eyeing.

The owner of the Stephen Curry-led Warriors wanted to buy Los Angeles Angels

Los Angeles Angels, the major league baseball team was already being explored by their owner, Arte Moreno, for sale. The team recently found a prominent bidder, Joe Lacob. The 66-year-old expressed his interest in buying the franchise in an appearance on one of the recent episodes of ‘The TK Show’, hosted by the Athletic’s Tim Kawakami.

Lacob said, ?It?s been reported that we?re looking at it, and that?s true. I don?t know what we?re going to do yet. I grew up there, it?s a little bit of an attraction for me… I?ve always felt that it had great possibilities.”

Subsequently, he added that the Los Angeles Angels is a part of a huge market in LA.? It has successfully been able to pull over three million fans in 17 out of the last 20 years.

The 66-year-old finished his answer by saying, “We?re going to look at it, but it wouldn?t be the easiest thing in the world to do because it is not co-located like perhaps a local baseball team might be. But might be doable. So we?ll see.?

However, it is not that Lacob has recently developed an interest in MLB. Before becoming the owner of the Warriors, he tried to buy another notable team of the MLB, the Oakland Athletics. However the purchase never really happened, Lacob told in an interview a couple of months.
