New Lakers Owners Discussion: Kushner + Iger

Yep well said brotha.

 

Saudi Money, his brother just got the PIA to help buy EA sports: Kushner, Saudi fund score $55 billion game acquisition

Looks like we went from Abu Dhabi to Saudi Arabia!

 

We're over looking one important thing

Will the Rambii be shown the door ASAP?

And yes this smells a little fishy, like Walters issues are bigger than was put out there

 

That's a no from me

 

Magic saying the corporate PR statement. I’m sure Kareem ain’t good with that.

 

Ya, this is going to go well.

 

Worth repeating here again...

Piss off, Earvin, you spineless sellout.

 

Didn't he say he was a Clippers fan, by choice, after moving to LA from NYC?

That's, as Pau would say, where parents come in.

 

curious to see what the new owners do with all the people walter brought on board. plus, didn't walter talk about renovating the practice facility and investing in new medical equipment? hopefully all that still happens

 

Hey Lakers fans wish Mark Cuban would’ve bought em.

 

I would take Mark over these fools a 100x out of a hundred.

 

They won’t be doing any of that. Mark Walters might have to sale both of his teams.

 

and he loves Luka so you know he would keep him. Why wouldn’t Mark explore that. A complete f*** you to the Mavs.

 

Damn, was struck with these news.

Don't like it at all. Notably:

- Mark stepping out so suddenly is not good for what we were building. Brings us back a bit, but glad we have the architecture of the next 3-5 years roster set
- don't like the names involved. Didn't know them, researched a bit, including here, and definitely don't like it
- super odd you do this type of sell without a bleep. As a seller you want a bidding war so the value goes up. Remember how long it took the Walter's purchase. There were rumours months before. Making one of the deals of the century in secret is super odd. It seems it was a favor to Trump to drop the charges


In any case, I'll reserve my judgement on what they actually do instead of projecting. Maybe it works out. They do need to keep the franchise relevant and keeping Luka is essential, so hopefully is not too bad.
Glad Jeannie remains. I really like the ethics and elevated behavior of this franchise. The Buss family definitely has pride on that and helps keeping some normality in the franchise, which lunatic billionaires don't give a crap about like we see around the world in many businesses or in the NBA more recently with Portland.

At the end, is definitely bad news for the franchise but let's see how it works out.

 

I hope he didn't say that but wouldn't be shocked.

 

I felt nervous about the investigation. But not a sale this quick. This reaps of desperation.


But when you look at the parties who’s investigating Walters it makes sense.

you sale to us and this goes away. It’s an offer you can’t refuse. If you don’t then what else? This happens.

and when you see where Kushners money comes from. They are kind of in the same world. I’m worried about the Dodgers.

 

I've been too busy complaining to my youngest daughter about the sale...lol.

 

Magic was circling the Vegas expansion team so not surprised he may have an interest here. Will be interesting to see who is in the full ownership group.

 

he said he was a knicks fan growing up in NY and couldn't root for the lakers when he moved to LA because they were rivals with the knicks at one point, so he chose the clippers
