New Lakers Owners Discussion: Kushner + Iger

Been a fan since 1979 when this rookie named Earvin Johnson captured my basketball fandom.

 

That’s my hunch. The math is not adding up right now so there has to be a deep pocket somewhere that we don’t know about.

 

Jeanie wasn’t about the Lakers. Jeanie was about the buisness. It was good buisness to sale the Lakers. She stabbed all of her brothers in the back and her sister. Read the article. First it was Jim. I don’t give a f*** what they do. You don’t f*** over family.

Jesse and Joey were the worst. I guess Jerry knew what he was doing running it.

seems like Mark had to get out of some money problems. With a potential baseball lockout coming who knows where the money is coming from. That White House visit was more than a visit.

and he’s gotta pay all those players deferred contracts. Look at the Ohtani contract. As a Dodger fan we better win the World Series this year.

Lakers felt like the fun buy. The summer house. The vacation home. It was never the main home. So in a money crunch. You sale off the assets that are hobbies. Nice pleasures. Nice gifts.

I’m not gonna lie and act like Kushner Igar are Jeff Bezos. We go from one owner to two owners. We’re not in the Steve Ballmer league. He’s a deep pocket owner.

not gonna put lipstick on a pig. Donald Trump is the shadow owner of the Los Angeles Lakers.

 

I woke up my mom called me and told me Kushner and Igar bought the Lakers. I said no Mark Walters owns the Lakers. He just bought them. Couldn’t believe when I saw it on ESPN. I was like this has to be a rumor.

 

if the saudis are financing this, that's certainly great news for the lakers. neither of these guys are wealthy compared in terms of nba owners, so the money has to be coming from somewhere

 

The good news is this won't stop us from winning the championship this season. New owners might get hooked on the feelin!!

 

well that was much faster than I thought

 

For me, Magic is the new guy!!!

 

wink

wino loved how you changed your profile picture so quickly.

 

Bob Igar took over Disney after all the political stuff. Stopped doing all that and focusing on the names they want to be called and went to buisness. They changed the splash mountain ride but that was about it. They bought the Star Wars exhibit there.

and bought Fox and the Star Wars franchise. I thought he was retiring. Or that’s what it was called. Both guys seem pretty liberal. But there are Trump ties. Pretty sure we’ll regularly be seeing Ivanka and Jared at games.

don’t think the money will be the problem. It’s just what they do with the money. Do they go over the salary cap??? Damn I’m glad Pelinka pulled off that Kessler trade. Now we see why. Who knows if it gets made now.

but kind of like Suge knight and Dr. Dre with Death Row records. There were innuindos where the money came from to front it. So people will be wondering where did the money actually come from to front this. And back it. But the Kushners have been all over Saudi Arabia trying to get money and do deals. No surprise about this one. All the owners approved because now all their valuations go up of their teams. And when they want to sale they won’t want anyone telling them they can’t sale.
