    People just want the stability. And Mark Walters was supposed to be it. Nobody knew his money was dirty or illegal. So everyone is kind of in a cloud cause we thought this guy was gonna do everything the right way. Poof team sold. And now we don’t know what to think of kushner because supposedly he doesn’t have money or Iger We know Iger is tight with Silver.

    these guys have money we just aren’t sure where it’s coming from. And the last guy we weren’t sure where it was coming from and he turned out to be a fraud. The sale was a quick forced sale. And the way the sale happened screams of suspicion. So there’s going to be a lot of that. We’ll see after the press conference.

    one word I want is passion passionate. Passionate to own it. Seems like Jeanie her last part of ownership wasn’t as passionate about owning the Lakers. No one saw Walters and This Iger guy seems really passionate like he cares. If he does that’s a good thing and this team will be in good hands.

    agree that the best thing you've got going for you as an nba fan is your owner's extreme vanity. you want them to want it more than the players, lol.

    then again, i suppose this describes ballmer. bet he wishes he would have waited and bought the lakers.

    But when he was buying the Clippers. It was a unique opportunity. Nobody thought the Lakers would get sold. It was like priceless. He got the Clippers because Sterling played Mr. Telephone man. And it was an opportunity to own a team in L.A. so he jumped out at it. It worked he got his arena in L.A.

    Isn’t it amazing how these L.A. sales happen with unique opportunities. I guess Jeanie when she sold her 25% to Walters there was a clause that he would have first right to refusal if she ever sold it. So when she wanted to sale it he got first dibs on control that’s why it was set up that way. Did mark always know his money was dirty and had to setup all his deals like that??????
