The franchise went on the market last Monday and Mastrov is aware of the several potential buyers, including Oracle's Larry Ellison. "I don't worry too much about that; there's going to be a lot of Larry Ellisons looking at this opportunity," Mastrov said.

He can defend. And of course, he won four championships." Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Warriors Mar 2010 Archive
