On June 19, many fans probably heard about the news that the Lakers sold the team today. The Bass family sold it to Mark Walter for 10 billion, which set the largest transaction record in the history of the sports team. The Bass family also controls 15% of the shares, but this share is not an inheritance system. If one of the six members of the Bass family dies, then 5 people will be distributed to the 15% of the shares. After selling the team, Jenny Bass and the new boss have reached an agreement that she will continue to take charge of the team.
And the reason why Jenny Buss continues to take charge of the team is that Jenny wants some of the employees she has hired to complete the contract, and Jenny Buss is also very conscientious. Moreover, Jenny Buss stayed in the team this time and was different from Cuban. Cuban was nominally stayed in the team and was eventually undermined. According to ESPN reporters, there are guaranteed arrangements this time. Since Walter purchased the Lakers, the two sides have reached an agreement, and in the past few years, they have established a solid relationship.
Walter was a small shareholder of the Lakers, and this is a top investor in sports events. He is not only a shareholder of the Lakers, but also a shareholder of the Dodgers and Chelsea, as well as some F1 events and the hockey league. He can be said to be a veteran sports investor. What is worth excited about Lakers fans is that he and Jenny Buss lead the team differently. Walter's main idea is to dare to spend money to win.
From his acquisition of the Lakers, we can learn something from his personality. Walter is worth 12 billion, he dares to spend 10 billion to buy the Lakers, and the Dodgers have also achieved success under his operation. At the same time, according to the Lakers Report, Walter hopes to run the Lakers in a successful way of running the Dodgers: hire smart people, and fully trust him to do a good job, treat players and his family well, and dare to spend money. Isn’t this the result that Lakers fans have always wanted?
When the Lakers sold their team this time, according to US media, they notified Doncic, but did not notify James. Although it was reported that the Lakers sold their team would not affect James' contract renewal, the current situation is that James may not have as much say when he was in the team before. A reporter from the Los Angeles Times analyzed this. He said: The new boss's takeover this time is a good thing for Doncic, but not for James. He made an analysis afterwards, saying: The Bass family vowed to make James happy at all costs to ensure that he retired from the Lakers, and the Lakers' new management will no longer be emotional. In addition, James has not renewed his contract next season, this change of ownership may change the original final contract renewal. The new Lakers will no longer continue the generous feelings of the Lakers in the past, but at the same time, they will also abandon the destructive loyalties of the past, and victory will become the Lakers' only goal. And this is exactly what Jerry Bass understood and emphasized back then.
The meaning is very clear. If James does not meet his requirements, the Lakers may choose to give up him. This is different from Jenny Buss's philosophy. Jenny Buss is trying to make money, so he has always planned to let James fight for his old age here. After all, retirement tour will bring great income, but the new boss doesn't think so. People just want to win and want to raise their hard results first. After all, only with hard results can you increase your market value. The Lakers' market value has not improved much in recent years. On the one hand, the team's record is not particularly ideal, and the second is that they do not have their own arena.
And Los Angeles Times reporter Bill also wrote an article to express his views on the Lakers' new boss. He said: If there is an outrageous but very successful general manager candidate, such as Bob Myers, the Lakers will sign him, and if there is an experienced and expensive head coach candidate, the Lakers will also sign him. Although the salary cap will be subject to certain restrictions, as long as the draft pick can be retained, the Lakers are now willing to pay luxury tax to introduce top players.
Many reporters and fans who have seen the Lakers' glory period are also very happy that the Lakers can change to a boss who dares to spend money. They seem to have seen the opportunity for the Lakers to return to their glory period. According to TA, an anonymous source who has contact with the Lakers said: I am really excited that the Lakers can finally spend money like they should. Although Jenny Buss's period as a boss was disappointing, looking back at the entire Buss era, the Lakers were still very successful. They won 11 championships, the team won 6 MVPs, a winning rate of 60.4%, and 301 wins in the playoffs, both of which were the first in the league in the same period.
The new boss's appointment may make the Lakers no longer obsessed with big-name stars in the last year as before. They will be more realistic. This is indeed good news for Doncic. After all, such a boss can help Doncic win some honors more easily. Now that the new boss takes office, let's take a look at the Lakers' operations this summer. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Lakers? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
