27% minorityThat "willing to spend" billionaire owner in OKC just gave away Melo to dump his salary. That team will be dismantled as soon as they continue to struggle. Billionaires will grow bored with their playthings and sell them if they can't get them to win.
Lakers consistently spent to keep their players and add talent while in contention. I guess you could argue that the Cavs have done the same, just that they are only in contention with Lebron in town.
BTW, the third richest owner in the NBA (behind Allen and Prokhorov) is Philip Anschutz, who owns a stake in the Lakers at $10.3B in net worth. Your boy Gilbert is 7th at $3.9B. That would seem to make the Lakers ownership group MUCH richer than Cavs'.
