The pitch lays out how the team plans to build the team's value up to (we bleep you not) $30 billion over the next decade. And that, by the way, is more a middle ground estimate. If things go really well, that number could get a lot higher. (So they say.) How they plan to get there seems to be through a combination of very, very aggressive marketing and monetization of everything in the org that isn't nailed to the floor, plus things like international rights, growing value of the NBA more broadly, and a rapid increase in ticket revenue built not simply on price increases (though that's happening, and would have even had the team not been sold again), but by eliminating the role of ticket brokers. That will functionally serve to jack up prices, because on the secondary market tickets often go for below face value. And when they go higher, it's the broker that gets the money, not the team. More than anything, fans are very, very worried this is a sign the Lakers will be much more concerned about money and paper value than titles and banners. Are they right? And is this a big concern across the league? Finally, more preseason odds from our friends at FanDuel. Who from the Lakers is in real contention for postseason hardware? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers next owners are aggressively raising money. SEGMENT 2: What does the prospectus mean for Lakers fans? SEGMENT 3: More preseason odds for Lakers players.
