Lakers Just Got Sold AGAIN… Here’s Why It Matters

The Los Angeles Lakers have been sold AGAIN — just 14 months after Mark Walter took control of the franchise.

Bob Iger and Joshua Kushner have agreed to purchase the Lakers for a reported $12.5 billion, which would make the deal the most expensive franchise sale in sports history. The transaction still requires NBA approval and due diligence.

But Lakers fans shouldn’t just be focused on the $12.5 billion price tag.

What does new ownership actually mean for the Lakers basketball team?

With Luka Dončić now at the center of the franchise and the organization entering the post-LeBron era, this could be one of the biggest turning points in Lakers history.
