i love it when they do this 😭

This sale has been in the works for *years*. The Buss family gets a huge payout and the Lakers are now equipped with the incredibly deep pockets that have made the Dodgers into the juggernaut they are. This is a truly momentous day for the entire NBA landscape.

Lakers just got saved bro. We finally have competent ownership again.

LAKERS NOT BROKE AS FUCK ANYMORE

Lost the Clippers bid to Ballmer. Decided to buy the LA Dodgers and Lakers instead. Legend.

Oh boy this is the best news possible for the Lakers!! They will actually have competent ownership and a competent front office!! The NBA is in big trouble!!

The Lakers now have the LARGEST sale of a professional sports franchise in the world 😳 💰

Sounds about right JTE

I always knew the Lakers not being the most valuable franchise was some bullshit

Keith Hernandez and Rodney Dangerfield.

Just let this sink in: We get to make front office decisions without the need to consult Kurt and Linda Rambis. And possibly Rob Pelinka in the near future 🤩🤩🤩🤩

I'll let some of my friends who cover the Dodgers more thoroughly expand on this, but the Dodgers unearthed Chris Taylor, Max Muncy, Blake Treinen, and a seemingly unending list of castoffs by scouting talent and investing in their development. If the Lakers can replicate that,

Not sure which NBA finals he was watching… I clearly remember him at Game 5 admire how on fire Kobe was but sometimes you gotta let people have their dumb objective opinions

33 years ago today, Batman Returns released in theaters.

Get rid of Lebron & AD and sub them in Jerry West, Kareem Abdul Jabbar or James Worthy and I am in complete agreement as all time great Lakers! Lebron is not a top 5 “Lakers” great. All time NBA great yes but not Lakers

The Padres had the last laugh because they beat the Dodgers in the playoffs one year 3 years ago?….. ummm ok The Dodgers literally just beat them last year in the Playoffs and won the championship and the Padres last time in the World Series was 1998 where they got swept but ok.

The # of people who dont like the Lakers & think that Mark Walter is coming in just 2 spend $ on the Lakers have no idea what makes him so special as an owner. He hires only the best when it comes to his businesses & that includes the Front Office: something the Lakers need badly

The Lakers are an amazing organization. I’m looking forward to meeting Mark and excited about the future. I am also grateful to Jeanie and the Buss family for welcoming me to LA, and I’m happy that Jeanie will continue to be involved. I look forward to working with both of them

BATMAN RETURNS released on the day in 1992.
