The Lakers just made HISTORY.
wow Okay so Jeanie Bus just sold the Lakers for $10 billion The most expensive sports team sale ever So yeah the Bus family has owned the Lakers since the year Magic Johnson got there And they’re probably the most famous sports team owner family ever I mean they’re like synonymous with LA culture And yeah they just sold the team for 10 billion Not a bad Wednesday paycheck The guy buying the team is this guy Mark Walter who’s really just one of these has a hundred different businesses guys But most notably he’s the owner of the Dodgers which I actually think is a good thing if you’re a Lakers fan because that means he’s got deep pockets He’s willing to spend the luxury tax And the Dodgers are a very analytical organization Matt Ishbia has proven that just because you’re willing to spend money doesn’t make you a great owner It’s still better than being cheap And look changing ownership can be really scary as a fan because just look at what happened with the Mavs after Cuban sold Last thing I’ll say if we want to go the conspiracy route how much more valuable did the Lakers become after the Luca trade i mean 500 million

Fail daughter like never before
Damn. I loved that Jeannie was running her Dad's business. This is kind of a sad day.
Real estate alone worth 5 billion not surprised
lakers selling their team before a GTA 6 release is wild
Lakers now could potentially have Dodger resources?
DONT OVERTHINK IT🤡
Ngl looking at the Dallas Mavericks owner looks very punchable
Luka worth 2 Bs
Fuck the FLAKERS
How the dumbest trade in recent memory beget so many perfect coincidences😅
Conspiracy theory idea, Buss Family knew something about the NBA and was going to say something so the NBA gave them Luca had a chance to raise the value of their team and leave the NBA and in return for the Mavericks they were given coop
Apparently Jeanie will still control the franchise in some way, so I'm kinda mixed on this
"We need a word for someone who is involved in several financial ventures."
"How about 'entrepreneur?"'"
"Nah, I was thinkin' 'hundreds of different businesses guy.'"
And now it comes FULL CIRCLE! The NBA demands Dallas give LA Luca before they sell it off. In return, they get Cooper Flagg. Genius.
Dumont is the son-in-law of Miriam Adelson and her late husband Sheldon, the billionaire casino owner. Mark my words: they will try to move the Mavs to Vegas within five years.
good i hope new owner makes lebum retire
Luka now is like Otani is to Dodgers …International 😉
Shouldn't the Lakers be worth a lot more than that?
saudi money has made its way into the nba
ambatubusssss
And JJ is a very analytical coach and we got the 2nd best player in the nba in Luka. If they can add a star big and depth. Boom 2026 Finals
This story is inaccurate, but what on the internet isn't
A LOT MORE THAN 500 MILLON FOR SURE
Wishing the absolute worst as a former mavs fan
Jerry Buss is rolling in his grave
She sold the majority of it at a 10 billion dollar evaluation. That makes 3 big market teams that have sold in the last 10 years
New management, new coach, new superstar, damn. Lakers in 2025 really went from ‘we’re cooked as soon as Lebron retires’ to ‘how fast can we make this new dynasty’. Truly, the most main character type franchise in sports history.
Good hopefully he trades Austin Reeves and a LeBron, resigns Luka and builds around him.
10b seems pretty low looking at some teams are worth 3-4 with no pedigree or generational talent.
Luka made them an extra 2 billion dollars on the sale. Good lord
welp ggs the lakers are done
Right after Luka trade. What a coincidence.
