Lakers Majority Owner Mark Walter Discussion

again, just waiting to see the hires. if we hire someone "outside the family", we'll know things have changed.

 

That will be the first sign

Curious on who they will be bringing on

 

Kind of like Magic was the face of the Dodgers for a while there

 

He's apart of the best ownership in sports with the Guggenheim's. The closest mega billionaires to a family valued business as you can get. The LA Dodgers are the most well oiled machine sports franchise since the San Fransisco 49ers when Eddie Debartolo owned them in the 80s and early 90s. First class all the way and they do not put up with scum like Jeanie and Rob Pelinka do. And they aren't scummy like Jeanie and Rob Pelinka.

 

Don't be surprised, once Mark Walter settles in, he makes a call to Sam Presti.

 

I do expect the front office to be overhauled with more basketball minds.

 

I wonder why Silver let Jeanie stay Governor but not Cuban or Grousbeck.

 

Kinda feel like that is more of a goodwill /smooth handoff gesture than Jeanie really pulling strings. Even if she does still hold power it won't be for long and certainly her inner circle is pretty much immediately toast.

 

How many of those seasons were derailed by injuries and the Westbrook trade (1) combined together?

 

I think she does a lot of other things that are helpful and Mark can talk with her about team building things now. If he wants to make any changes, he can let her know. She doesn't have to be the bottom line, she will run it all by Mark and if he wants something different, I assume he communicates and she goes, OK boss!

 

It could also be a condition of the sale.

But what's strange is that it was also agreed upon for Cuban and Grousbeck to remain governors of the Mavs and C Bags, but the league said No. This is a clear change, so there has to he a reason, and I'm not sure what it is.

 

Still hating on Brodie? Stop it!

Listen to Austin and Rui. Wild, Wild Russ, constantly staying in their ears, with encouragement, helped install some confidence, and swagger into them both.

 

Silver doesn't make that call. And dont worry, Jeanie ain't in charge of s***. She's just the mascot and will do a little onboarding until Walter sets some things up for the team.

 

It ended the Lebron title era.

 

Until Austin and Luka re-opened it. 3rd options still get rings.

 

Ok, I looked up more stuff, and it appears that Cuban was just lying, and that Grousbeck's % dipped to sub-15% ownership, which is required by the NBA in order to remain as Governor.
