Lakers’ Sale Shakes Up the NBA

from BLEAV Sports with Fred and The Fantastics · host PodClips

Fred, Art, and Laura are stunned by Mark Walter’s sale of the Lakers to a group led by Bob Iger and Josh Kushner for $12.5 billion. Does that ten-month valuation jump seem too good to be true? Will Adam Silver's approval be more than a formality? Could the impressive preseason action of Raiders rookie Fernando Mendoza push Kirk Cousins to the sidelines sooner than expected? Should the NFL reward 50-plus-yard field goals with four points, or rein in kickers instead? And in light of Roger Craig's dementia diagnosis and Puka Nacua's suspension, how much accountability is enough?
