1, the Lakers changed hands with 10 billion yuan! Mark Walter takes over the Purple and Gold Dynasty sets a record sports record

According to the latest report by authoritative journalist Shams, TWG Global's CEO and Chairman Mark Walter will acquire most of the Lakers' equity for a record-breaking $10 billion, setting a new record for global professional sports team trading. It is worth noting that Jenny Buss will continue to serve as the team manager after the transaction is completed to ensure the team's smooth transition. As the helmsman of the MLB Dodgers, the new boss Walter's "Victory First" business philosophy is highly consistent with the Lakers' giant temperament. Sources revealed that Walter's primary goal after taking over will be to build a championship lineup around Thomas Brows, and he will pay luxury taxes and bring back the 18th championship trophy to Los Angeles. Is it said that the spring for Lakers fans is waiting?

2, and the NBA Finals ratings plummeted! Xiao Hua urgently convened a high-level meeting to discuss countermeasures

NBA official data shows that the 2025 Finals G1 hit a historical low in the non-COVID-1 period, with an average number of viewers from G2 being only 8.76 million. The senior executives of the NBA headquarters are extremely dissatisfied with the ratings this year. What is even more sad is that after the Pacers lost the G5, the lowest ticket price of G6 plummeted from $779 to $357, a drop of 54%. Alliance insiders revealed that President Xiao Hua has urgently convened executives from broadcast partners ESPN and TNT to hold a crisis meeting to discuss how to save the ratings. Halliburton's injury problems, the lack of starry flavour in the small market team duels, and the lack of appeal to the new generation of stars are the main reasons for this viewing crisis.

3, the Durant battle has caused another turmoil! The Grizzlies joined the competition group, the Big Three, and Forbes Sports reporter Evan Sidery, exclusively revealed that the Grizzlies officially joined the Durant battle after sending Bain away and freeing up their salary space. It is reported that if the deal is reached, Durant will join forces with Morant and Jaren Jackson to form the new version of "Big Three". However, league sources pointed out that the Suns management prefers the Timberwolves' trading plan with Divincenzo or Gobert as the main body, believing that it is more in line with the team's dual needs of "that is, combat power + future assets". Durant's team is reserved about joining the Grizzlies and prefers the Heat or Rockets with greater market potential.

4, Halliburton's injury update! The Pacers Core G6 plays full of suspense

ESPN senior reporter Tim MacMahon reported that Pacers star Halliburton was confirmed to have suffered a second-degree strain on the calf, and medical experts are evaluating the time for his full recovery. Although Halliburton showed a strong desire to fight in the interview: "As long as the team doctor allows me, I will definitely appear." Data shows that Halliburton performed poorly in the G5 with injuries, scoring only 4 points in the game, with a plus-minus value of -13 the worst in the team. If he eventually misses the G6, the Pacers will face the fate of being eliminated by the Thunder, which also means that the NBA Finals may set a record low in the past 10 years this season.
