I hope the new management focuses on playing moneyball rather than go splashy with star hunting…. Contemporary winning is not putting star players together…but good deep teams that buy into a culture and identity that elevates the sum of the parts. First order of business is to go look for and go after distressed assets that will complement the current talent. For example, a center like Mitch Robinson and a wing like Gary Harris could be obtained without losing our key assets cuz they're distressed assets that will leave their current teams for nothing if they don't get traded
Jeanie bust take seat Rob padinka pack it up lbj&son pack it up lind rama&hubby pack it up jj rederrick and smally balls pack it up Assistant coaches pack it up
Get rid of rob pelinka. The luka trade fell into his lap other than that hes been bad since 2021 and completed drain the lakers of good role players and positive assets. Who blows up a championship team. I dont think the luka trade should save him, any GM would have done that trade if it came to them like that
Finally, that old which is gone. She had absolutely no clue what she was doing, while wasting Lebrons final years being cheap and stingy and making stupid decision after the other like keeping Scam and now getting JJ the podcaster to be a coach. Can't wait for someone who knows what they are doing to come and save this fallen franchise.
I think Jennie still being there is basically for the optics of it but I don’t think she will have much say if any at all anymore I don’t see someone paying billions for a team and not having financial and final say on everything
This is a God like businessman acquisition that Mark is showing right now acquiring Lakers. Its him stamping the Legacies as a genius businessman most importantly
Why would we get rid of JJ? Casual Lakers fans need to chill, I see this ownership targeting Triple J when he’s available and several players who other teams don’t deem super valuable (think Cam Whitmore, think Patrick Baldwin, think Kelly Olynyk and various other quality NBA players… think players playing in Europe and across the world).
Player development. Lakers can buy a couple more 2nd rd picks now for cash, and really target developing the type of players Luka needs around him. South Bay will now be the premier G league team, and Jesse Buss who has proven to be a genius will be given resources he’s never had.
We should be trying to get KCP and his “negative value” contract from Memphis. Would they take Vandos smaller bad contract plus Kleber? What assets could we get back if we gave them someone they could actually use like Rui? KCP had a down year catching passes from Suggs and Paolo. I think he’d revert to the 40% shooter he’s always been with Luka and LeBron. And he’s a perfect fit defensively next to Luka or Austin.
Jeanie Buss is supposed to continue in her role as a governor but I'm not sure if she will have control over the daily operations of the team. When Mark Cuban sold the Dallas Mavericks, he was in the same situation but he was eventually pushed to the side and had little influence afterwards. The same could happen to Jeanie. The new owner group should have the majority of the board seats and could eventually decide to replace her. It would be interesting to see if the new ownership takes a look at the GM and HC positions and decides to go into a different direction. Pelinka has just signed a contract extension but he could be either reassigned a different position or let go.
Guggenheim and their signing have been trash lately. Look at conforto, snell, n glasnow And dont talk chelsea ……… 1 billions of trash + 100M players that got 4 years banned because of using doping …..
Ever since Dr. Buss passed, Dingy Jeanie and her dumb crew ruined this franchise. JaBron Lames said he would play for NBA min to play with his son. What did Dingy Jeanie and her dumb crew do, give JaBron Lames $50+Million contract. WTF? Letting the tail wag the dog is beyond stupid. Happy JaBron is on his way out. Frees up $50+Million for two solid NBA players. Solid New LA Lakers ownership is such a blessing. Happy times are finally back for the Lakers!
Buss family made a killing for their family. Cannot trivialize the fact that the grand children will not be future owners of the team. The last child alive would have been total owner of Lakers. The rest of the family wouldn’t have anything. By selling now each Buss family member insures the wealth of there family for generations.

Not a surprise in the change of Lakers ownership. History of the 70's repeating itself – an older star Wilt Chamberlain wins only one Finals for the Lakers, the Bucks win a Finals, the Sonics win a championship, and the Lakers change ownership. In the 2020's LBJ wins only one Finals for the Lakers, the Bucks only won one championship, the Thunder formerly the Sonic's will defeat the Pacers and the Lakers change ownership. The prospect of Giannis eventually becoming a Laker looks great, and JJ eventually becomes the new Lakers GM.

The Clippers have the richest owner what has changed for them. You still have to deal with the same salary cap as every other team.

Jeannie selling her house, but wants to still live in one of the bedrooms, and be the only one who has the front door key
Just get out the way lady, you are no longer needed. See all the fans celebrating?
Lebron is sold…same shit that hapen to Luka in Dallas

Anthony Vitrado your fucking nuts. My God. No man spends 10B and allows failures to remain in power, thus just paying the bills.
This owner will buy superstars and the Lakers will be champions.
Please stop suggesting trades for Claxton. He is too expensive for what he would provide. KCP is meh to me, he plays like a bench player now.
This is a God like businessman acquisition that Mark is showing right now acquiring Lakers. Its him stamping the Legacies as a genius businessman most importantly
41:47 AR15 is big in Asia bc his shoe deal and world cup 🇵🇭 And he popular in Euro bc he a WB. So they gonna keep him f’sho
End of a great era…and handed to a current ownership group that's about winning.
The Lakers will never low ball a coach again
Laker nationnn babyyyy it’s gonna be a spooky season

Just got Luka, still have Lebron. Baring a championship, this is the perfect time to sell. Well done Jeanie. NEED to keep that scouting team though!
Hopefully this is the end of Pelinka. And hopefully they’ll make a run at Sam Presti after The Finals.

I wonder if this effects how we approach the NBA cap?

Miles Bridges is definitely an upgrade and we should be pushing the narrative to get him on the Lakers alongside Luka.
Can we get a video on this?
next step: get lebron to gtfo and sign some players who can help us win a chip
that's putting a lot of pressure on Rob Pelinkas shoulder smh lol
