Lakers sold to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner for $12.5 billion

The Los Angeles Lakers have been sold again, this time to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner, who acquired the team from Mark Walter for a $12.5 billion valuation. Walter's ownership lasted less than 14 months, and the franchise has seen significant changes, including LeBron James's departure and a reshaped front office. The future direction of the Lakers remains uncertain as Iger and Kushner aim to honor existing agreements from Walter's tenure but may implement their own vision. The potential for replicating the Los Angeles Dodgers' operational model is currently on hold.
