Lakers' shocking sale sets up a possible major investigative piece for Pablo Torre
On Wednesday, the entire NBA world was stunned when it was announced that the Los Angeles Lakers were sold by Mark Walter to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for $12.5 billion, a new record for the most expensive franchise purchase in league history.
The fact that Walter was the Lakers' owner for only 14 months after buying the franchise from the Buss family for $10 billion, and his decision to flip the franchise within a three-day negotiating period, raised eyebrows of many.
Speculation suggests Walters's decision to sell the Lakers stems from a desire to resolve financial and legal issues surrounding his holding company, TWG Global, which is currently facing a sensitive federal probe and investigations.
Indeed, it will be interesting to see if Pablo Torre will truly pivot towards discovering sensitive details behind the Lakers' unexpected sale in the future.
Torre’s groundbreaking reporting has uncovered several major stories, including the Kawhi Leonard-LA Clippers salary circumvention scandal, Madison Square Garden’s alleged “Celebrity Burn Book” blacklists, links between sports owners and Jeffrey Epstein, and Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera’s alleged connection to Russia’s crimes against humanity.
