I am a lapsed Wesleyan United Methodist. I am selling the history and Minneapolis Lakers uniforms to the port area of Chicago, Illinois, to become an Nba expansion team, and the history and uniforms of the Kings of the Nhl, to become an expansion team in the Nhl. I will rename my Lakers the Lords of the Nba, and hire Rudy Gobert at center, to accompany Anthony Davis and LeBron, James, up front, and Jamal Murray in the backcourt, with others. And I will support another pair of Nba and Nhl expansion teams in the Brooklyn area. The Nfl may consider a similar two team expansion as well.
