Should the Lakers use the No. 55 pick for a player on a two-way deal?

5 days ago | silverscreenandroll.com | Jacob Rude

Photo by Kostas Lymperopoulos/NBAE via Getty Images Of the flaws the Lakers roster has had in recent seasons, one of the under-discussed shortcomings was the end of the bench. A mixture of young, developing prospects and vets on minimum deals left the Lakers with far too few options to mix things up. At the start of this past season, the Lakers had Jalen Hood-Schifino, Maxwell Lewis, Bronny James and Cam Reddish.

Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Amidst a nonstop deluge of trade, draft and free-agency rumors, Slop SZN delivered a true bombshell on Wednesday: The Buss family is selling majority ownership of the Lakers to minority owner Mark Walter at a record-setting $10 billion valuation. Walter initially purchased 26% of the Lakers in 2021, which also gave him the right of first refusal on the majority share of the team.

Set Number: X163050 TK1 While few teams are more globally relevant than the Lakers, the “mom and pop shop” jokes that had emerged in recent years were not all that inaccurate. Unlike most owners across the NBA, and especially those in charge of a team as prominent as the Lakers, the Buss family were cash poor. Having inherited the franchise from their father, the late Dr. Jerry Buss, the siblings had little wealth outside of the team.

Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images The Buss family has been synonymous with the Lakers for the better part of five decades, dating back to the 1970s. After long being owned by Dr. Jerry Buss, his ownership stake was transferred to his family, who owned a majority stake in the team, at least until Wednesday. While the sale is far from official, it does signal the end of the Buss family being the primary owners of the team.

Photo by Allen Berezovsky/Getty Images In a year of shocking Lakers news, Wednesday might have taken the cake. Out of nowhere, news broke that the Buss family would be selling their stake in the franchise to Mark Walter. The move will bring an end to the family being the majority stakeholder in the franchise that began in the 1970s. However, it appears will not bring an end to their direct involvement with the team.

At times, perhaps too much. His patience in trading Russell Westbrook led to him getting a fantastic return, all things considered, but also cost the Lakers multiple seasons of the LeBron James and Anthony Davis era.

Robert Gauthier/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images The Lakers wrapped up their season not just with a whimper, but literally limping to the finish line. Austin Reaves battled a toe injury throughout the series but the far more notable injury was to LeBron James. During Game 5, LeBron banged knees with Donte DiVincenzo, suffering a Grade 2 MCL sprain. Ultimately, the injury did not matter all that much as the Lakers season came to an end anyway.
