Sure.

My point was they’re probably richer than just the lakers as their laker salary also allows them to buy other assets

They also can collateralize their lakers shares to buy other assets

Yeah, I don't know anything about their other business ventures, just that the Lakers are their primary source of income.

....and that's a problem because they are running it like a mom and pop corner store, instead of a multibillion dollar corporation.

 

[The Q]

Long story short she's not rich enough to own the Lakers.

That’s the beauty of inheritance?

It's the penny pinchimg.

These mofos are leaving a roster spot open to save money.

Not to facilitate a trade, because Ryan was non guaranteed and could have been waived anytime, but to save pennies.

Shameful shit.

They’ve just been horribly run.


If they we’re run like the dubs, they’d be running those crazy tax bills as well imo

Nepotism at it's finest.

Only the Cowboys can eclipse them….

Yankees?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Yankees?

Nope.

....I'm surprised too.

Agree

But again luxury tax is a different animal if you don't have it

If the lakers are good, they print money.

The problem is the only year they were good was when there were no fans in the stands

Buss was somewhere around a billionaire when he died.

So how much of his other assets did the kids get is another question

The Lakers yes

But as has been pointed out that's split 6 ways

 

[msgkings322]

He's a good coach he can get a job almost anywhere

 

[The Q]

Yeah my point is the entity can handle the tax to a certain point. When they’re good it’s a profit machine

600 mil.

Looks like you are correct.

Dr Bus played the real estate game as well.

The 6 kids each got 11%.


Dr. Jerry Buss was an American entrepreneur and professional sports team owner who had a net worth of $600 million at the time of his death in 2013. Jerry Buss earned his first fortune in the real estate business. He then earned a much larger fortune (and fame) as the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team. He was also the former owner of the Los Angeles Sparks (WNBA), the Los Angeles Kings (NHL), and the Los Angeles Lazers (soccer).

Yikes

He and Trae are beefing.

And he knows he won’t win that fight…

Because she isn't loaded

Should be obvious

I think we are all pretty much on the same page.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Someone needs to muzzle this guy.

STFU

Didn't he just say some similar bullshit about the Lakers not making the playoffs. But, he did ?

This is what happens when your bluster doesn't match what you do on the court.


“Chris Paul was on the Clippers,” Patrick Beverley said. “Then he left and I came on the Clippers. The Clippers went to the Western Conference Finals the only time. They didn’t go there with Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and the Lob City. They went there with me.

For them to come in and ‘We’re only looking for you get 5 or 6 million dollars,’ I felt like that was the ultimate spit to my face when I literally just changed this whole organization around, we went to Western Conference finals. I didn’t think I got the fair end of the stick.”

Patrick Beverley: The Clippers went to the conference finals once... With me, not Chris Paul
