This apparently is not a Celebrity Apprentice promotional stunt.

Atlanta hip hop artist and producer Lil’ Jon and big-time film and TV producer Jerry Bruckheimer are possibly now emerging as possible buyers for the embattled Atlanta Thrashers, reports WXIA-TV. Might be surprising to some, but Bruckheimer has pockets deep enough to buy the team and Lil Jon, a big success in hip hop, and who has made many new fans courtesy of his run on the most recent installment of "The Apprentice" television show, is a big sports fan and has loved Atlanta hockey for years dating back to the Atlanta Flames.

This deal would keep the Thrashers in Atlanta and add new life to this team that has been on life support.
