A major news came from the NBA. The Lakers were sold for a total of 10 billion. The key problem is that these 10 billion are just most of the equity, not all, which is really too profitable. You know, the Celtics sold for 6 billion, which hit a new NBA trading high at that time, but compared to the Lakers, the Celtics are still not enough to see!

When I woke up early in the morning, shams sent another big news that the Lakers have not made any progress in terms of players, but the team was traded. The Lakers reached an agreement with TWG Global Chairman Mark Walter. The new boss is very strong. He has the baseball Dodgers, wNBA Sparks, F1, ice hockey teams, etc. In short, it's just a word, very rich!

Let's take a look at the story first. Just before, Forbes ranked third in the NBA in terms of the valuation of each team. The Warriors' valuation is as high as 9.4 billion, the Knicks' 7.5 billion, and the Lakers' 7 billion, but unexpectedly, most of the Lakers' equity was sold directly for 10 billion. If they were all sold, I don't know how much it would cost! It’s worthy of being a wealthy family, it’s really valuable!

The Lakers founder Bass only spent $67.5 million to buy the Lakers. Now, the Lakers are worth more than $10 billion. It has to be said that understanding investment is the king!

So, now, the most critical question for fans is whether the Lakers are sold is good news or bad news for the team?

Let's first look at what Magic Johnson said? He was very excited. After learning the news, he tweeted immediately, saying that the new boss is willing to invest all resources to fight for victory! Of course, when saying this, he also gave Jenny Bass enough face.

The new boss is very strong and willing to spend money. This is good news for the Lakers, but there is a problem. Jenny Buss is not completely separated from the Lakers. She still holds 15% of the team's equity and has management rights. It is said that the new boss is also very supportive of her, so this matter is indeed not very good news.

But we refer to the Mavericks before. At that time, the situation was similar to that of the Lakers. The team's former boss Cuban also retained the management of the team, but in fact, it was just the same. He was undermined, just like Doncic was traded later. He seemed to have no idea about this at the first time, so if nothing unexpected happens, Jenny Buss's situation is similar. It is highly likely that she is just a nominal manager, but the specific team's decisions may not be counted.

Overall, the new boss spends so much money to buy the Lakers, and he will definitely not allow the Lakers to lie flat. He will definitely do something big, just like Pelinka did before. It is definitely not OK to work but not work hard. Besides, the new boss is not short of money at all. It is necessary to trade and sign a deal, not like Zhang Ningbas, who is stingy and searching, which is also good news!

Next, the recruitment work of the Lakers will begin immediately. Even if Pelinka is still the general manager, she will not be able to perform well. If she wants to lie down, she will not have any chance to do anything!

Good news, 10 billion! The Lakers were sold, the new boss was willing to spend money, and Pelinka couldn't lay down
