Mark Walter buys the LA Lakers: Breaking down the record US$10bn deal

by Alex Carter - Sports Editor November 1, 2025

Mark Walter Completes Record $7 Billion Acquisition of the los Angeles Lakers

Los Angeles, ‌CA – ⁤ Mark Walter has finalized the purchase⁣ of the Los Angeles ⁤Lakers, completing a deal ‍valued at $7 billion, a record for⁣ an NBA franchise. The transaction, announced Tuesday, marks the end of the​ buss family’s four-decade ​ownership and ushers in a⁢ new ⁤era for ⁤the iconic basketball team.

The sale, which ⁤includes the Lakers and ⁢the‌ Staples Centre (now ‌Crypto.com Arena) ⁤thru the⁢ Lakers’ controlling ownership of the venue, represents the highest price ever paid for an NBA team, surpassing ‌the ​$5.5 billion valuation of ​the Charlotte Hornets in​ 2023. Walter, the CEO of Guggenheim Partners, a financial services firm, previously held a 20% stake ⁤in the Lakers and becomes the ⁢team’s⁢ controlling owner, with Jeanie Buss remaining involved as governor. This transition is expected to maintain​ the Lakers’ commitment to championship contention ⁣while leveraging Walter’s⁤ financial expertise to ​further enhance the franchise’s business operations.

The deal’s roots trace back ⁣to 2023 when Jeanie Buss⁤ began exploring options​ for⁤ selling a portion of the ⁤team‌ to ensure its long-term stability.Walter’s existing investment positioned him as ⁣the⁣ natural frontrunner,‌ and negotiations culminated in the full acquisition. The move is widely seen as a vote of ​confidence in​ the Lakers’ brand and⁣ future potential, despite recent on-court challenges.

Reactions from​ prominent figures in‌ the ‍sports world‌ have been overwhelmingly positive. Magic johnson, a Lakers legend, expressed his enthusiasm on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Laker fans should be ecstatic…he ‌is driven by winning,⁢ excellence,​ and‍ doing ⁣everything the right⁤ way. And he will‍ put in the resources needed to⁣ win!” Johnson further noted ⁢the ‍similarities between Walter and Jeanie ‍Buss, highlighting their shared competitive spirit​ and dedication to philanthropy.

Dodgers‌ manager Dave Roberts also weighed in, calling it “a very exciting day for the Lakers and for the city of Los Angeles.” He emphasized Walter’s competitive nature and commitment ⁣to⁤ building a championship-caliber team, adding, “He’s going to⁤ do everything he can to produce a championship-calibre team every single year and make sure the ​city feels proud ‍of the Lakers and ‍the⁢ legacy that they’ve already built with the ​Buss family.”

The ⁢completion ​of this landmark ​deal signals a significant shift in NBA ownership and sets a new benchmark for franchise valuations. ‌The focus now ⁤shifts to Walter’s‍ plans for the Lakers, with expectations high for continued investment in⁣ player development, coaching, ​and overall team‌ success.

Title: Austin Reaves’ Efficiency: Why His 50-Point Game Wasn’t a Surprise

by David Harrison – Chief Editor October 28, 2025
written by David Harrison – Chief Editor

austin ⁤Reaves‘ ‍Efficiency stats Back‍ Up 51-point Performance, Suggest Continued Ascent

Los Angeles, CA – October 27, 2025 ⁤ – Austin‌ Reaves’⁣ recent 51-point outburst against the Sacramento Kings wasn’t ‍a statistical anomaly, but rather a presentation‍ of⁤ consistent efficiency‌ even ‌with increased volume, according to a deeper look ‍at​ his career⁤ numbers. The Los​ Angeles Lakers guard is proving his ⁤scoring‍ prowess⁢ isn’t reliant on a limited role, and⁢ could⁢ be poised for further offensive growth.

While Reaves’ scoring total grabbed ⁣headlines, scrutiny immediately turned to whether such a performance was sustainable​ given his career‍ shooting percentages. However, analysis reveals Reaves maintains remarkable‌ efficiency even when taking on a larger⁣ scoring load.

Throughout his career, Reaves has attempted at least 13⁢ field ⁣goals ⁣in 90 games. ​In 76 of ⁤those contests, his effective field⁤ goal percentage (eFG%) exceeded .400 – meaning he was a highly efficient shooter even with ⁢increased opportunities. He’s only been⁢ subpar as a high-volume shooter in 14 career games.

Comparatively, Luka Dončić posted an eFG% under .400 in nine⁢ of 49 games⁣ last year where he attempted at least 13 field goals. Anthony Edwards dipped below the ​.400⁤ mark in​ 14‍ of 73 such games. These‌ figures demonstrate⁤ Reaves’ efficiency ⁣is comparable to that of established NBA scoring stars.

Reaves’ role with the Lakers has steadily expanded each season, with corresponding increases in both minutes played and point totals. ​This season,⁤ he’s benefiting from the ⁣NBA’s new “hot-stove” ⁣contact rule, which penalizes defenders for hitting a⁣ shooter’s arm after the release of the ball. Through three games, Reaves is‍ averaging 12.3 free throw​ attempts⁢ per game, more than double his previous career-high of 5.0. While his 22 ⁤free throw attempts in the 51-point game are unlikely to be repeated regularly, the⁣ rule change presents a meaningful scoring prospect.

At 27 years old,⁣ Reaves is entering his prime. ⁢His established ⁢ability to score⁣ 30+ points in a‌ game (14 ⁤times in his​ career) combined with his ⁤increasing role and the new rules suggest further high-scoring performances are within reach.

Bold NBA 2025-26 season predictions: New champion, fresh faces in MVP race and more

Bold NBA 2025-26 Season Predictions: New Champion, Fresh⁢ Faces in MVP Race and More

As the‌ 2025-26 NBA season approaches, ‌analysts are offering predictions ranging​ from‍ team success to individual accolades. Here’s a look at some of the most intriguing forecasts ​for the upcoming year, based on recent reporting and⁢ observations.

Portland Trail⁤ Blazers: Yang Hansen’s Impact

Rookie Yang Hansen,⁢ the 7-foot-1 center drafted 16th⁢ overall ⁣by the Blazers from China, is expected to make an immediate impact. Despite initial ‌skepticism surrounding the pick, Hansen’s unique skillset – combining⁤ deft passing, long-range⁣ shooting, and agile footwork – has already impressed coach Chauncey Billups, who has declared him ⁢a rotation player. While not projected ⁤to outperform top pick Cooper Flagg, Hansen is⁣ anticipated⁢ to be a captivating and effective contributor. As Jason Fast notes, “He will impress – and entertain.”

Sacramento Kings: Russell Westbrook‘s Potential

The Sacramento Kings’ acquisition of Russell Westbrook ​presents a potentially positive scenario. Analyst Sam Amick suggests that Westbrook could thrive in a non-contending⁢ environment, raising‍ the floor for a team with limited ​ceiling. This differs significantly from his recent stints with⁤ high-expectation teams like ‌the Lakers, Clippers, and Nuggets. The success of Westbrook could also impact⁣ the starting point guard position currently held by veteran Dennis Schröder.

San Antonio Spurs: Victor Wembanyama’s MVP Push

Victor Wembanyama ‍is poised for ‍a breakout season, with predictions placing him among ⁤the top‍ three contenders ⁤for the MVP award. Jared Weiss observes​ that Wembanyama’s preseason‍ showcased a diverse skillset, hinting at a potentially unprecedented ​stat line. If the Spurs can secure a top-six finish ⁣in the Western Conference while Wembanyama⁣ maintains impressive per-game statistics, he’s expected to challenge the last‌ two MVP winners.

Toronto Raptors: Ingram to Shine,Barnes to Fall Short

The toronto Raptors are ‌projected to improve,and Brandon‍ ingram is expected ⁢to be​ the ​driving force behind that ascent. eric Koreen believes Ingram will be the ‌offensive catalyst and highlights ‍his underrated defensive⁣ value. ‍Ingram’s health will be crucial, but if ⁢he stays⁤ on the court, ⁢he’s ​predicted to become ⁤a ⁢focal point for opposing defenses and earn an All-Star⁣ selection. Conversely,Scottie Barnes is not expected to make the All-Star team.

Utah Jazz: Markkanen on the Move

The Utah Jazz are likely to trade Lauri Markkanen before the trade deadline.⁢ Zach Harper explains that the team’s ​previous ⁤extension prevented them⁤ from ⁣fully embracing a tanking strategy.Now, with the ability to trade Markkanen, ‌the Jazz will seek to acquire additional assets, especially with a loaded ⁢upcoming draft, in their search for a franchise⁣ player.

Washington Wizards: Shared ⁢Scoring, Lower⁣ Totals

The Washington Wizards ⁢are expected to‍ embrace a more egalitarian offensive approach under⁤ Coach Brian‍ Keefe, leading to a surprising​ prediction: the team’s leading scorer will average under⁢ 20.0 ⁣points per game. Josh Robbins points to the presence of veteran players like CJ McCollum‌ and Khris Middleton, known for⁢ their ⁤team-oriented play, and the potential for Cam Whitmore to come off the bench, as factors ⁢contributing to a more distributed scoring load. ​ Kyle Kuzma ​(22.2 PPG​ two seasons ago) and Jordan Poole (20.5 PPG last season) previously led the‍ team in scoring, but ‍a shift in philosophy is anticipated.

Lakers Sold to Mark Walter for Record $10 ⁣Billion

LOS ANGELES, CA – In a landmark deal reshaping the landscape of professional sports, the Los Angeles Lakers have been sold⁤ to ⁤billionaire Mark Walter for ​a record-breaking $10 billion. ⁤the transaction, ‌finalized ⁢today, ‍ends⁣ 46 years of ownership by the Buss family and establishes a new high-water mark for sports franchise valuations.

walter, CEO of TWG Global,​ was already a minority shareholder in the Lakers since⁣ 2021, granting him ⁤right of first refusal in ‌any ‌sale. His existing ownership stake, coupled ⁣with ⁢his accomplished track ​record as ‌principal owner of ⁢the Los Angeles Dodgers (MLB), reportedly fostered ‍trust with the Buss family⁢ during negotiations.

The $10 billion price tag ⁢substantially surpasses previous⁢ sports team sales,nearly doubling⁣ the value‌ of the ⁢Boston Celtics’ ‍recent⁤ sale. While⁣ the Buss family will⁣ retain⁤ a minority stake ⁢of approximately‍ 15%, Jeanie Buss will remain governor and president of the ​Lakers, overseeing basketball operations “for ⁤at least several years.” ‍

Jeanie Buss, ⁤daughter of the late Jerry Buss ⁤who led the team as 2013, will continue to‍ direct the franchise’s day-to-day​ operations and maintain its ⁣established culture. Walter’s role will focus ‌on providing capital ‍and⁣ long-term ⁣strategic ⁢vision.

“He’s the best‌ option and will be the best guardian of the ‌Lakers brand,” said Lakers ⁤legend Magic johnson, a partner in Walter’s ‍sports‍ consortium.”He will put all the necessary resources to win.”

The Los Angeles Lakers organization acknowledged the news with a ⁤post on X‍ (formerly Twitter) stating, “Let‍ the work talk.”
