After selling the team for 10 billion, the Lakers began to go crazy! Asking for the Jazz s two major inside players, Jenny took the old path of Cuban?

Basketball

June 19, according to famous reporter Shams today, the Bass family sold most of the Lakers' equity to Mark Walter, with a price of 10 billion, which also set a record for the highest transaction price of professional sports teams in the world. Many fans may not know Mark Walter. He is the CEO of TWG Global. He was a minority shareholder of the Lakers for 21 years and owns shares in multiple sports teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Los Angeles Sparks, the F1 team and the Professional Women's Hockey League.

It can be said that Walter is a professional sports investor. Faced with a big football market like the Lakers, he has no reason not to choose to buy it. After all, this is the most popular team in the NBA. After Walter bought the Lakers, the Magic also recommended it even more. He talked about what kind of boss Walter is. He said that Walter is willing to invest all resources to win. The meaning is very clear. He is willing to spend money to help the Lakers win. Shohei Otani got a 10-year $700 million contract, which was given by Walter. This person is really willing to spend money.

To be honest, the Lakers can sell this price, and I have to thank Pelinka. If he hadn't traded Doncic to the team, considering that James was about to retire, if he hadn't Doncic and James' Lakers, he would definitely not have been able to sell this price. Pelinka has lived up to Jenny Buss's always respect for him. After the new boss bought the team, the Lakers' operations seemed to be more aggressive.

The Lakers have not had any trading rumors or discussions before. As a result, after changing their boss, the Lakers also began to go crazy. According to the Jazz, the Lakers are pursuing Kessler. From the trade deadline to the present, the Lakers have been interested in him. The Jazz exchanged Kessler for multiple draft picks, and the two sides are currently discussing. The Lakers have too few first-round picks. Do you want to add a third party? I think Kessler's ability is worth two first-round picks. If there are too many, the Lakers can consider other inside players.

Kessler is one of the best franchise-protecting insides in the active league. He is similar to Daluo's role. In the regular season, one person can support a defensive system and have the chance to be selected as the best defensive team for many years in the future. However, his slow movement speed in the playoffs will become the target of the opponent. This season, averaging 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.4 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 66% and a three-point shooting percentage of only 17%. He is only 23 years old and has the opportunity to develop excellent space shooting ability in the future.

Considering that the playoffs are not very practical, there are quite a few two first-round picks. Last season, the Jazz asked Kessler for two first-round picks. The Lakers may try to use Kneckett + first-round picks to complete the transaction. After all, Kneckett is the No. 10 pick. He has proved his potential this season and has the opportunity to become a top scorer in the future. At the same time, he does not occupy the ball and can become a part of the team's future. In addition to Kessler, the Lakers are also interested in Collins.

According to the Jazz Records, the Lakers and the Jazz have already started a trading discussion centered around Collins. Collins predicts that they will not have a first-round pick, but it is estimated that the Lakers will also have to give Kneckett a young talent. Collins is one of the best space inside players in the active league. He is good at eating cakes in the inside, and his three-point shooting is also very reliable. You can treat him as a 3J with a weakened defensive version, which means that the weakened defensively is a bit powerful.

Collins averaged 19 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game, with a shooting percentage of 52.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 40%. The data is very good, and his athletic ability is excellent enough to achieve unlimited defense replacements. But now the big centers are beginning to rise. A small center like Collins may be a little weak in the interior defense like Hayes. He still has a one-year contract of 26.58 million. Considering the current situation, the Jazz's asking price for him will not be very high. No matter who these two win, the Lakers' strength will be significantly improved.

Even if neither of these two people were finally defeated, it is estimated that the Lakers will try to win other insiders. The team is still in charge of Jenny Buss. According to ESPN's famous reporters, people familiar with the matter revealed that Jenny Buss will not only continue to serve as the representative of the Lakers' board of directors, but will also continue to take charge of the Lakers for at least a few years, and the new boss Walter expressed full support for this. Although Walter acquired the Lakers for 10 billion, the Bass family still has 15% of the shares. How much do you think the Lakers are worth?

It’s not Jenny who spends money on her own now, and she is willing to sign for the team. In the past few years, the Lakers have been stingy and missed too many opportunities to compete for the championship. Now, it can finally let Aunt Jenny and Pelinka show their style, but they are afraid that Jenny Bus will take the old path of Cuban. When Cuban sold his team, the new boss also agreed verbally, but in the end it was undermined. He is just the nominal ruler. If Jenny is not operating well, Walter may let her take the old path of Cuban.
