Wu Hai: Walter s Dodge spends money in recent years, which is enough to suggest that the Lakers will become a big buyer in the market

June 19, according to famous reporter Shams, the source revealed that the Bass family is about to reach an agreement with TWGGlobal CEO and chairman Mark Walter to sell most of the Lakers' equity, with a transaction valuation of about $10 billion. After the news came out, basketball commentator Feng Hai commented on the social media. The original text of

The original text of the thunder on the ground was as follows: The Lakers sold their team.

ESPN's major ace reporters jointly reported that the Bass family, a long-time owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, will sell most of the team's equity to TWG Group's Mark Walter, worth up to $10 billion - a number unheard of in professional sports history, and the Lakers have also significantly broken the Celtics' transaction record of $6.1 billion.

Mark Walter became a minority shareholder of the Lakers in 2021. According to ESPN's Ramona Shelburn, he also received the team's priority right at that time. In other words, the big Dodgers boss has been planning to buy the Lakers for some time. After the change of ownership is reached, Jenny Bass will still hold the team's operating rights as a family representative for several years. According to Shelburn, it is different from Cuban's similar rights in Dallas, but he was kicked out soon. The Walter and the Bass family have established quite good relationships in the past four years, so Jenny Bass' rights will be strongly guaranteed.

Shams was asked on the TV link what the reason why the Bass family sold the team now, and he replied with a smile: They have 10 billion reasons.

10 billion is an irresistible number. It is not only enough to ensure that the Bass family has huge wealth in the future, but also declares the unparalleled value of the Lakers' golden sign: the Celtics' $6.1 billion transaction price is for a sound, just to exceed the 6 billion US dollars of the NFL Washington Commander and become the most expensive in North American history. Then the Lakers' 10 billion is simply a shocking thunder, breaking records is just a matter of minutes. What's important is that this number itself has to be a shocking bomb. Just like those who don't watch the game, you know that there is a Lakers in the NBA. You don't have to deliberately remember it. From then on, you will also blurt out that the Lakers sold 10 billion!

This is the Lakers, with the ratings guarantee of the new and old stars, 23+77, and there is no terrifying salary to bear. The league's new ratings contract will be executed soon, not to mention that this team also has two major local and global markets, as well as a magnificent team history. Against all the favorable background, this NBA's facade team has once again achieved historic success.

Of course, the impact on the basketball level next is probably that the Lakers will gradually show their aggressive team building strategies. Another ace team in Walter's hands, the Los Angeles Dodgers, has spent a lot of money in recent years, especially after winning the MLB championship in 2024, which is enough to imply that the Lakers will become a big buyer in the NBA player market next. At this time, other teams in the league may really thank the new labor-management agreement for having many restrictions on rich teams, otherwise the NBA will soon change.
