Wow, the sale of the Lakers is major news. At first $10 billion sounds like a very high number but considering inflation, the value of the dollar and the growing sports industry, these numbers start to make sense. The Lakers are one of the few NBA franchises almost guaranteed to be profitable. When you think about the Celtics being sold for $6.1 billion just two months ago, the difference between the two is remarkable.
That is right, it's written now in the history that this is the most expensive sale of a sports franchise.
Good for both former owner Buss and the new owner, Mark Walter.
We might see some acquisitions from other sports too that their franchises are going to get sold for a higher price. This is where it is going and if the teams like Celtics and the others will surely become more valuable in the next years.
