    Where is @Toklat? I need some misplaced and misguided optimism over here.

    it is in their best interest for the lakers to be a winning team, but yeah, i really don't have much faith in these guys to prioritize winning over making money

    The Lakers are a cache cow even in down years. We all know that (e.g. Turner deal and such), so... we might be winning despite these pieces of human excrement.

    Iger stood by for years while Kathleen Kennedy made horrible decision after horrible decision and ran Star Wars into the ground. He supported all her nonsense even after she doubled and tripled down on garbage. So, for anyone that’s a fan of the other Bob, I would imagine he’s pretty safe, you have to do a loooooot of bad to get fired under Iger. I cannot stand that man

    This is exactly who he is, he’s ruined so many things, just awful

    Their statement as presented in Apple News.

    “The businessmen were involved in the expansion process in Las Vegas, but in a stunning turn, they pivoted to make an aggressive offer to buy the Lakers from Mark Walter, who had purchased a controlling interest in the team from the Buss family last year for a then-record franchise valuation of approximately $10 billion.

    "As lifelong NBA fans, we are deeply honored for the opportunity to become stewards of the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the most iconic sports franchises in the world. We have immense respect for the leadership and vision of Jerry and Jeanie Buss," Kushner and Iger said in a statement. "Our long-term commitment is to build on that foundation, compete at the highest level, and serve this extraordinary team, its fans, and the city of Los Angeles."

    ”

    “The Lakers are being sold to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner for more than $12 billion”

    FML. It's over now. Hope to get 1 more title run out of this, before it all goes into a Blazers/Wizards crapper.

    Wasn’t a big fan of Jeanie, but didn’t hate her. I hate our owner now.
