Today, Warriors forward Draymond Green talked about the Bass family selling the Lakers' major equity to Mark Walter for $10 billion.

Zhongmeng said: "When I saw the Lakers being sold to Mark Walter for $10 billion, I thought to myself, 'Oh, the Lakers are going to become very threatening now.' The only factor that restricts the Lakers has always been... By the standards of NBA team owners, Jenny Buss and the Buss family are one of the least wealthy team owners. The biggest asset they have is the Lakers that just sold, which is almost the main source of their income. When your main source of income is this, the way of business will be different. You will be more cautious.

"The role of this change of ownership is that in 2020, only a few teams have made money, and thanks to the Lakers' huge local TV contracts, the Lakers have made a lot of money from it. That left them profitable, even if people couldn't go to the live viewing game. Now that you have a rich boss, he will say, ‘No, I don’t need that money, just use all that money to invest in the team. Get this guy for me, get this guy for me. Let's do whatever we want with this lineup and we'll pay taxes. We will do these. ’ Therefore, the new boss will make the Lakers extremely threatening. Because now they are not just one of the most recognizable teams in sports history, they now have the financial resources and operational capabilities that match them. That's very dangerous. ”
