Ex-NBA Player Blasts Lakers’ $12.5 Billion Sale: “They Don’t Care About Basketball”

Former NBA player Olden Polynice has criticized the reported $12.5 billion Lakers sale, saying the franchise risks becoming just another business asset. Polynice believes the Buss family created a unique personal connection with fans and players. With the family’s remaining 17.8 percent stake reportedly sold, the Lakers are entering a new era.
