Great subject brought up by Michael H.
How will sale affect Lakers’ offseason and Austin Reaves decisions? Next couple of weeks going to be fun.
Probably too late for it to affect this off-season a whole lot. Free Agency starts in just 2 weeks and the deal isn’t even official yet. Lotta i’s to dot & t’s to cross on a $10bill transaction. Also, it still needs to get voted on by the other owners.
But going forward, this is a huge development for the future of the franchise. It’ll no longer be run like a mom & pop shop. From what I’ve seen from the Dodgers, this group is mostly hands-off and lets the professionals run the team . We should know pretty quickly if they value Rob or not. This is where you see the deep pockets come into play…they won’t be hesitant to pay someone to go away; like the Knicks just did with Thibbs.
