IM proven WRONG?
Yes. You've been proven wrong. It doesn't matter how much money the Buss family does or doesn't have in comparison to other owners. They never have to touch a penny of their own money because the Lakers are always profitable.
For the last 3 years, the Lakers have been as bad or worse than the Cavs were without Lebron. Yet, they are still very profitable.
When the Cavs were without Lebron, they were collecting NBA welfare checks, a significant portion of which came from those paupers in purple and gold.
