The brief
Fans are experiencing a sudden shift in the Lakers' operations. The team is undergoing a process dubbed 'Dodgerizing', a reference to the changes implemented when the Los Angeles Dodgers were sold. This includes mass layoffs, price hikes, and the departure of key players like LeBron James.
The changes are tied to the impending sale of the Lakers. Fortune reports that Josh Kushner, who recently became a co-owner, was previously involved in a failed World Cup privatization scheme. The new owners, including Bob Iger, have a history of significant wealth accumulation.
The 'Dodgerizing' process will continue until the sale is officially completed. The extent of the changes and their long-term impact on the team remain uncertain.
