Hallelujah. Big sea change. Get in the industry professionals and end the era of family ownership.

Perfectly said. Ownership changes can be scary. Just look at the Mavericks. And we’ll see in time about the Celtics. But the Lakers appear to have nailed their sale considering Walter’s outstanding track record running the Dodgers.

There are plenty of ways this matters. How much luxury tax the team is willing to pay to retain players, also hiring more and better people in every aspect of the business, including scouting and basketball ops, which means hitting on more draft picks.

If actively underpaying the market stops being a thing for LA after this move… watch out. Assistant coaches, S&C, nutrition, data ops, player family perks(?), etc.

Yo Anthony F. Irwin with this Naz Reid deal and the Wolves needing to get bigger money off their books, what do you think of sending our expiring deals for Gobert? Does Luka allow it? Would the Wolves do it? Do lakers fan revolt? Seems like the type of chaos that may work out!

Grateful for the time to sit down with Doc Rivers re: Bucks’ outlook & to get into the film room to discuss some of their actions. I spoke with every NBA head coach and we will be giving you all of those convos. Great stuff

In 2025 the Lakers went from literally-about-to-break-down AD and the bumbling Buss kids to hitting-his-prime Luka and the savvy loaded Dodgers owner. Still coming to grips with this.

Today

If LeBron’s incomprehensible 10+ point, 17 year, 1,297 game streak were ever going to end, that was simply the greatest way imaginable: Sitting on 8 points, tie game, ball in hands, chance to keep streak alive with a make or get to OT with a miss, he… made the right play.

Good morning to everyone!! (except those who think an 11-1 team playing for a conference championship while others sit at home shouldn’t be in the College Football Playoff)

The Lakers are so bad. This is getting embarrassing.

Mark Walter needs to remove Jeanie Buss and all her minions Lakers fans deserve a fresh start and the best leadership and front office out there

I love the NBA. I’m in the top 1% of fans. Idk how a league defends willfully doing this to its product. It’s just pathetic.

This would be epic!

The pushback on Vegas getting a team is so hilarious to me. People do not understand this town at all, and the deceptive headlines, ignore the reality that this is one of the best, most profitable, proffessional sports towns in America for three reasons 1. The local community
