James is about to retire, the Lakers sell their team! He shorts at high prices, and he is not optimistic about Doncic at all

I have to admire it! Although the Lakers' management has not done well in terms of the essence of basketball, from a business perspective, they have done really well. Jenny Buss can sell 85% of the Lakers' equity for 10 billion, which is really amazing. Some people said that the Warriors' market value is 9.4 billion, but that is false, while the Lakers' valuation is 7 billion, but they sell 10 billion. This is real!

The Lakers' team sold this time can be said to be very in line with the mainstream business model, that is, "short selling when highs" and selling a team when it is the highest value. This is not a novel approach. The Celtics sold the team after winning the championship!

So, why do the Lakers say that shorting at highs are said to be the highest point in the team's current value?

First, James is the last year of his contract, he is about to retire, or he is about to end his Lakers' career. Once James retires, the Lakers will also completely move towards a period of decline. The Lakers' management firmly believes in this.

Second, only the Lakers management can truly understand James' commercial value, because James is different from any star in the history of the NBA. In addition to having many fans, the number of black fans is even more shocking. It can be said that 80% of those who watch the NBA will pay attention to James. They may not admit it, but that's the case.

Third, once James retires, the Lakers' attention will immediately drop. Many people think that whether there is James or not will affect the Lakers' attention, because they are wealthy families, but to be honest, it is an old Huangsheng. When James leaves, his fans will also leave, and a large number of James and black fans will also leave. Young people have their favorite stars, so who will follow the Lakers? Only those real hardcore fans, most of whom are old and will not pay attention to it anymore.

So, before James retired, it was the time when the Lakers were of the highest value. This was the real short selling at high prices. Jenny Buss immediately sold the team. Then some people would say that the Lakers had just found the team's facade in the next 10 years. Why don't you wait anymore!

First, speaking of this, there is a problem, that is, the Lakers management does not believe in Doncic at all. They do not believe in Doncic who can lead the Lakers to the peak, just like the Mavericks management does not believe in Doncic who can win the championship.

Second, you can deny the Lakers management's ability in basketball, but you can't deny that the Lakers management's business vision cannot support the Lakers by just Doncic. Only players at the league's footsteps can support the Lakers, just like Kobe, like James!

Third, the Lakers' draft picks have been used up. Even if Doncic is very powerful, the teams behind are helpless. Due to the current NBA salary space limitations, the current NBA is completely different from before. If the Lakers want to truly rise again, they must follow the old path of the post-Bryant era, play the bad, and then get the draft picks and slowly start rebuilding.

So, the final result is that when the team is of the highest value, Jenny Buss sold it, stopped the loss in time, and then drew a big pie for Doncic, drew a big pie for the new boss, drew a big pie for Doncic, of course, drew a big pie for the new boss, of course, Doncic, and the Lakers were completely flat. This is just like many team management said. They are very confused. When there are James and Doncic, the Lakers have to wait for 27 years. You can trust the Lakers, but you can definitely not trust the basketball vision of Jenny Buss and Pelinka. Yes, they have started to make a big splash now because they have got what they want, and it is a lot of money!

Thoughts of terrible thoughts! James is about to retire, the Lakers sell their team! Short selling at highs, don't even look forward to Doncic
