Once again, it’s another record-breaking NBA team sale, and the Lakers are at the center of it.Photo by John McCoy/Getty ImagesKyle Kuzma questions Mark Walter’s intentions after selling the LA LakersThe sale took the NBA community by surprise, including 2020 LA Lakers champion Kyle Kuzma. In fact, Kuz went as far as insinuating that Walter flipping the Lakers seems shady.“Nobody flips a crown jewel in 14 months because it’s going well,” Kuzma wrote on X.Indeed, the Lakers are the crown jewel of the NBA, and owning the franchise is a dream come true for any owner. Moreover, Walter seemed ready to make the team his own after making a lot of executive changes over the past year or so.But the Dodgers owner is reportedly facing an active federal investigation involving loan fraud. Kuzma subtly tied the Lakers sale to the investigation.Either way, the reality remains that the Lakers will have yet another new ownership group heading into the 2026-27 NBA season.Read more:‘A disservice’ – Kyle Kuzma hits back at transgender athlete debate after WNBA commissioner’s memoNew York Governor Kathy Hochul’s office brutally calls out Kyle Kuzma over Kalshi criticismNYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani slammed by former NBA Champion on social media
