Jenny Buss sold the Lakers, what happened? James didn t know

According to US media reports, the Bass family is about to reach an agreement with Mark Walter, CEO and Chairman of TWG Global, to sell approximately 85% of the Lakers' shares.

The valuation of this transaction is about US$10 billion, which is the highest valuation in the NBA at present, exceeding the previous Celtics' valuation of US$6.1 billion, setting a historical record.

This news definitely made many people unexpected! It is said that the Lakers just notified Doncic by text messages, but did not notify James. The Lakers just got Doncic, and it was time to make great achievements. So the question is, why did the Bass family sell the Lakers? There may be several reasons.

The first reason is that the Bass family is short of money. Everyone knows that the Bass family is one of the poorest NBA bosses, and their main income depends on the Lakers.

So when they knew that the Lakers were worth 10 billion, they sold the Lakers without hesitation and put them in the pocket. After all, 10 billion is definitely a huge sum of money for the Bass family, and it is too tempting for them.

The second reason is that the Lakers will go downhill. The Lakers' valuation should be at the highest level in history. The Lakers' valuation will become lower and lower in the future. Why do you say that?

First of all, the NBA is getting ugly, and you can see that the ratings are bleak in this year's finals. Apart from throwing 3 points or free throws, there is no viewing at all, and it will inevitably lose many fans.

This will lead to the overall NBA market shrinking and the valuations of each team will also decline accordingly. This is a predictable result, and the Bass family is naturally not stupid, and they have also seen this trend.

and other teams have also been sold, such as the giant Celtics. Seeing all this, the Bass family decided to sell it when the Lakers were at their highest valuation so that they could make a fortune.

The third reason is that James is about to retire. If James retires, how many people will watch the Lakers' games? Although the Lakers got Doncic, he obviously couldn't support it. After James retired, the Lakers box office.

The Bass family naturally saw this, so the previous move to trade Doncic was probably the decision made by the Lakers to increase their market value. Now that the Bass family sells the Lakers, it is a very wise move. Do you think this is the reason?
