Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Golden State Warriors have been sold to

Thursday from the Oakland Tribune.
Chris Cohan, who had owned the team since 1995, accepted the bid from the
group headed by Lacob, currently part owner of the Boston Celtics. The price
exceeds the $401 million Robert Sarver needed to buy the Phoenix Suns back in
2004.
The deal still must be approved by the NBA and its board of governors.
The Warriors were a disappointing 26-56 last season, finishing with the third
worst record in the Western Conference.
