Kushner and Iger expected to continue Dodgers strategy with Lakers
Summary

Josh Kushner and Bob Iger are set to maintain the "Dodgerizing" strategy for the Los Angeles Lakers as they prepare to take over ownership from Mark Walter, according to Ramona Shelburne of ESPN. This approach has involved bringing in key executives from the Dodgers to enhance the Lakers' management. While the franchise achieved NBA championship success in 2020, it has faced challenges since then, winning only three playoff series. The sale of the Lakers is pending approval from the NBA board of governors and is expected to finalize in the coming weeks.
