Brian Windhorst: How Jeanie Buss Sold Lakers to Mark Walter for $10 BILLION + LeBron’s Future 👀

The Buss family sold the Los Angeles Lakers to Mark Walter for $10 billion back in June, but new details around the sale were revealed today in a story written by ESPN’s Baxter Holmes. Jorge Sedano and Scott Kaplan are joined by ESPN NBA senior writer Brian Windhorst — who dropped priceless insights on the situation.

Windy speaks about how Mark Walter got money from Abu Dhabi to buy the Lakers, how Jeanie made sure she would still be a part of the team after the sale to Walter, and how LeBron would have preferred to stay with the Cleveland Cavaliers before Kyrie Irving decided to leave. 👀

What do you think, Lakers fans? Will LeBron be on the team after this season? And how will the team fare under Mark Walter?

  5. Just to clarify thge facts — the Lakers missed the playoffs 5 years in a row ( while tanking for picks ) the missed it a 6th time when Bron joined

  8. Jeanie has been in the mix with the Lakers through the entire journey that had made that franchise the mostt winning franchise in any major sport over the last 50 years… so..there is that

  10. ✊🏽🫶🏽 as a woman 👩 running an organization 🤓 you’ve got to have broad shoulders 👀 parents KNOW their children 💕 Dr. Buss chose the most capable 🧐 child 🙋🏽‍♀️🤓 and likely told her when & if to ever sell 🙇🏽‍♀️ 🙋🏽‍♀️ I’m the responsible one ☝️ in my family. Her partnering with one set of brothers then the other 🤓 strategic 🤔 but the idea she’s not the best of the bunch 🥸 is absurd 😬 parents KNOW their children – their character & weaknesses

  15. The owners don’t make any money, go start a dynasty on 2k and you’ll see, they make 142 million and lose 590 million every year … when u start breaking out the matrix you realize these players are grossly over paid and if they got paid what they were actually worth it’d be like 100k at most pretty much every team loses money every year it’s jus a flex for billionaires

  17. I was shocked by her criticism of Lebron for shirking responsibility for the Westbrook trade, In he final press conference after that season, Lebron copped to the disaster and said he really thought they would work as a Big 3 and that is why he pushed for the trade. As a civilian, that seems to me like taking responsibility.
    And about drafting Bronny, unless Jeanie is mad that Lebron called her and lobbied for them to take Bronny – he doesn't owe her gratitude. She made the decision, Lebron stayed out of it because if it came out that he was calling teams demanding they draft his son, it would kill Bronnys confidence forever.

  18. Another ESPN hit job. That network hates LeBron. He's had a great feud with Brian Windhorst and Stephen Smith. And Jeannie did what was necessary. She pushed all of the siblings out. Well played 😂. They all did things to harm the Lakers.

  19. The Lakers also sold because the Clippers owner is the wealthiest NBA owner in the league and they knew they couldn’t keep up with that being a family owned business. Jeanie would rather see the Lakers keep being a successful franchise.

  20. Since LA cannot win on the court, the media must make sure it wins the narrative about the Lakers off the court. And LaLa land provides plenty of flotsam and jetsam.
