The time is mid-to-late June, and the NBA is in the finals stage and has officially entered the offseason. During this offseason, fans are paying more attention to the upgrading and strengthening of each team, and are looking forward to the occurrence of various signings and transactions. But before this, there was no sign, something very heavyweight happened in the NBA, that is, the giant team Los Angeles Lakers were officially sold on June 19, announcing the change of ownership.

According to NBA reporter Shams, the Bass family is about to reach an agreement with Mark Walter, CEO and Chairman of TWG Global, to sell most of the Lakers' equity. Jenny Buss will continue to serve as the team's manager after the team's sales. Shams reported that sources revealed that Mark Walter is about to reach an agreement to acquire most of the Lakers' equity from the Bass family, with a transaction value of about $10 billion, which will be the highest transaction price record for professional sports teams in the world.

After the Lakers are officially sold, the team's new boss Mark Walter will give former boss Jenny Buss a decent and arrange for him to continue to manage the Lakers. According to famous reporter Shams, sources revealed that the Bass family is about to reach an agreement with TWG Global's CEO and Chairman Mark Walter to sell most of the Lakers' equity. Jeanie Buss will continue to serve in her role as Governor after the sale.

It is worth mentioning that the late Lakers boss Jerry Buss bought the Los Angeles Lakers from Jack Kent Cook for $67.5 million in 1979. After his death in 2013, the team's management rights were transferred to his children. Now, the giant team with 17-time championship titles is about to sell most of its shares. From $67.5 million to $10 billion now, the Lakers have increased their value by 148 times in the hands of the Bass family, which is really jaw-dropping.

At this point, the Lakers have officially bid farewell to the Bass family era and will usher in a development stage under the rule of the new boss.有人说,新老板给珍妮-巴斯一个管理者的职位,就是相当于架空她,让她主动离职。 Because, when you are no longer the boss, have no absolute say, and are still in a management position, you are actually very unpresented. In this case, Bass may be difficult to stay there. Just like after Cuban sold the Mavericks, he was promised to take up a management position, but it was already undermined and Cuban quickly withdrew.

In fact, in my opinion, Jenny Bass's situation is still different from that of Cuban. The Lakers are internal shareholders who acquire shares, and Jenny Buss also holds the team's shares + management rights. To put it bluntly, as long as there is no major conflict of interest, everyone will still be partners. Cuban sold all the teams to outsiders and did not participate in the operation, but only nominally retained the management rights. So, Jenny Buss is expected to stay in the Lakers management for a while.

Even so, Jenny Buss will not stay in Lakers management for a very long time. There is a saying: Women are in charge of their homes, and their houses collapse. You can see that after Jenny Buss took over the Lakers, the Lakers' competitiveness is far less powerful than her father's old Buss era. The current Lakers are more focused on making money and traffic. As for the championship, they don't seem to be so eager. As long as you can sell tickets, the Lakers' goal will be achieved. After Jenny Buss left, I wonder if I could see the Lakers return to the glorious day.

Having said that, the two major NBA teams, the Celtics and the Lakers, have been sold one after another in just one year. Does this mean that there is a certain bubble in the NBA now?
