10 billion! There is a foreshadowing in the transaction! This is the biggest reason why the Lakers change their ownership

The key foreshadowing is hidden in the details of the transaction: the Bath family retains 15% of the equity, and Jenny Bath continues to serve as the manager. This "old helmsman + new fund owner" model not only avoids the embarrassment of Cuban's complete aphasia after selling the Mavericks, but also ensures the continuity of the team's culture. Walter's operations with the Dodgers have proven that he is good at using capital to leverage superstars without destroying the team's ecology - this is the balance technique that the Lakers need most.

The changes at the competitive level are even more worth looking forward to. Lakers' team reporter Anthony Irving revealed that the management has launched a center reinforcement plan, with Walker Kessler of the Jazz and Clint Capela of the Hawks both entering the radar. What is even more confusing is that in 2025, the free market will welcome super big fish such as Antetokounmpo and Doncic. The Lakers, who hold huge salary space, are likely to replicate the shocking James-style operation introduced in 2018.

At the moment when the NBA salary rules are tightening, the Lakers' change of ownership by 10 billion is like a key to breaking the deadlock. When other teams are in a hurry for the "second tyrant line", Walter's financial resources can allow the Lakers to earn two maximum salary contracts at the same time. Forbes data shows that the Lakers' average daily income is as high as US$4.6 million, far exceeding the Warriors' 3.5 million and the Knicks' 3.1 million. This commercial monetization ability makes the luxury tax punishment seem insignificant.

Magic Johnson's prediction may be fulfilled: "When the Celtics sold 6 billion, I knew that the Lakers were worth 10 billion." This number is not only a victory in commercial valuation, but also a pricing of the champion gene. From the "basketball emperor" in the Chamberlain era to the "smart basketball" in the James era, the Lakers have always stood at the top of the wave of innovation. Now with the dual support of capital and technology, the days when the 18th championship flag flies at the Staples Center may be no longer far away.

The coincidences in history always coincide with some necessity-46 years ago, Bass used 67.5 million to start the Purple Gold Dynasty; 46 years later, Walter pressed the restart button with tens of billions of capital. For fans, this is not only a change in the business territory, but also a generation of faith in the slogan "Lakes Championship". When the new boss signs his first name on the checkbook, the infinite possibilities of the basketball world are slowly unfolding under the spotlight in Los Angeles. Let's wait and see the Lakers next!
