So, for those keeping track, Mark Walter just banked over $2 billion for owning the Lakers for a year.  Wild times

The Los Angeles Lakers are being sold to American businessman Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for a record breaking price over $12 billion, multiple sources told ESPN.

Kushner and Iger were involved in the expansion process in Las Vegas, but a stunning turn, they pivoted to make an aggressive offer to buy the Lakers from Mark Walter, who had purchased a controlling interest in the team from the Buss family last year.

Maybe they can afford some decent uniforms now.

Heard from a political standpoint, this is baaaad for them and for the league in general.

Dang that franchise being tossed around like a ragged doll these days. Jerry Buss probably be rolling in his grave

Tossed around like a $12 billion rag doll, that is.

Already some wild conspiracy theories floating out there.

Apparently DOJ & SEC are currently investigating Walter and Guggenheim.  Lo & behold, now he is selling the team to the brother of the President's son in law.
