The Lakers Are Out Of Control… 😳 #shorts
The Los Angeles Lakers were sold to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for a record $12.5 billion on August 12, 2026, less than ten months after Mark Walter bought the team from the Buss family for $10 billion. Now Rob Pelinka’s job is the story.
Here is what almost nobody is connecting. Chris Paul, who ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne named as a person to watch for a role under the new ownership, is not just a friend of Bob Iger’s. He became a minority owner of Angel City FC in September 2025, the same club Iger and Willow Bay control. The two men already own a sports team together in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile an agent told ESPN’s Dave McMenamin that you assume Rob Pelinka has six months to see how the season goes. Pelinka has run the Lakers front office since February 2017, delivered the 2020 championship, traded for Luka Doncic, and signed a multiyear extension in 2025. He also just spent a quarter of a billion dollars this offseason and gave up two unprotected first-round picks for Walker Kessler.
In December 2011 the NBA blocked a trade that would have sent Chris Paul to the Lakers. Nobody gets to veto a front office hire.
The sale still requires approval from the NBA Board of Governors.

Hi
Ur team Mike?
Get curry help!!!
Why they doing this, let Lakers be themselves, they shouldn’t do this to my team, hopefully they don’t do the same to my Suns team
Day 60 of asking Mike for gta6
Hmmm
I’m wondering why the Lakers got a Clippers fan of an owner?
Hey Rob pelinka…. Kobe can’t save you! 😂
Leather jacket Rob going to be out
He needs to be fired because he had lebron and AD and only got one ring. he sabotaged lebron lakers years intentionally, just to protect Kobe legacy! fire him!
Jerry Buss has to be turning over in his grave
Our Lord Jesus Christ alone is the Savior of the world. He died for our sins and rose again in triumph over death. Turn away from sin, believe the holy Gospel, receive holy baptism, and remain faithful to the teachings of Christ through His holy Church. By His grace we are strengthened to live according to His commandments. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. God bless. Consider exploring the ancient faith preserved in the Oriental Orthodox Church. ✚
Bron being on the mf 6ers still blows my whole damn mind man
Wait when the Lakers were sold the first time everybody said Walters likes to change everything and Pelinka was at risk already 🤔
Bob Igor is a complete idiot
Rob was always a question mark with Mark 😊
That' was messed up Mike. You had me hype when you mention CP3, and then you left us guessing…………
the circus left when the lakers told lebum they didn’t want him there anymore.

Pelinka screwed up the Lakers future.Walters said I'm out it'll take too many years to dig out of this hole Pelinka sold the Lakers future.
Follow the money as usual
Should've been gone
Who is Rob Pelinker?
Luka will save pelinka
Chris Paul as GM? Please God, please make it happen. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
It’d be fun to watch Chris Paul openly criticize everyone, tell them to their faces how bad they are at their job, and then get fired.
Comedy gold.
