The Warriors, who play in Oakland's Oracle Arena, have struggled as its upper management has been a complete mess, while the team has been unable to gel properly.  Chris Cohan, current Warriors owner, is unpopular and considered by many NBA bloggers as irrelevant and detrimental to the team.

"I'm trying, I'm trying," Ellison told reporters during a recent meeting at the company's Redwood Shores headquarters.  "Unfortunately, you can't have a hostile takeover of a basketball team."

According to the Warriors, Ellison hasn't reached out and made an offer... yet.

The Warriors made the NBA Playoffs just a couple seasons ago, but front office issues and a young team have severely hindered the team.  Sports writers and tech bloggers indicate Ellison  may be a good fit because he has the money and influence to make some drastic changes -- and he knows when it's time to hire the right people, and then let them do their jobs.

The team now has a 13 -  31 record, last place in the Pacific Division, and remains one of the worst teams in the NBA.  It's unknown how much Ellison would need to pay for the franchise, but with a $27+ billion net worth in 2009, he should be able to handle the bill.

Even though the team has been horrible, the Warriors still have the 10th best home attendance and 14th highest capacity percentage in the league -- bringing in 18,116 people to Oracle Arena each evening.

Ellison is already being compared to fellow tech-billionaire Mark Cuban, who bought the Dallas Mavericks and turned the team into one of the best franchises in the country.
