Lakers' New Ownership Sparks Wild Rumors: Could They Really Sign Every MVP Candidate Like the Dodgers?
The Viral Rumor That Broke NBA Twitter
When Dodgers owner Mark Walter was linked to acquiring majority stake in the Lakers, social media immediately erupted with memes about LA replicating their baseball team’s spending spree. The joke? Signing every top-5 MVP candidate to absurd deferred contracts like Shohei Ohtani’s $700M deal (where 97% gets paid after 2033).
Hypothetical Shopping List:
- Giannis Antetokounmpo ($10B over 50 years?)
- Nikola Jokic (Payment plan until 2080?)
- Luka Dončić (With a side of EuroLeague debt forgiveness?)
Why This Is Statistically Impossible
As someone who builds salary cap models for fun, here’s why this fails:
- CBA Rules: NBA prohibits MLB-style deferrals beyond 4 years (Article VII, Section 5). Try explaining “2080 payments” to Adam Silver.
- Luxury Tax Math: Even spreading \(500M over 10 years would trigger a \)1.2B tax bill. Jeanie Buss ain’t got that Guggenheim money.
- Player Value Collision: Five ball-dominant stars? Their collective PER would implode faster than Russell Westbrook’s Lakers tenure.
The Cold Hard Data
Check these nightmare scenarios from my spreadsheet:
| Player | 2025 Cap Hit | Realistic Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| SGA | $42M | Thunder match anyway |
| Anthony Edwards | $35M | Wolves owner sells crypto first |
| Jokic | $51M | Just starts rodeo career instead |
Verdict: Great Meme, Terrible Economics
While Walter’s deep pockets could elevate the Lakers’ financial playbook, this fantasy belongs in 2K24 with salary cap turned off. Though… if they did land even two of these guys? My defensive efficiency charts might spontaneously combust.

Lakers Ơi, Tỉnh Lại Đi!
Nghe tin chủ mới của Lakers có thể chiêu mộ hết ứng viên MVP, tôi cười xỉn luôn! Kiểu gì mà trả lương đến năm 2080 như Ohtani? CBA cấm đó, anh bạn ơi!
Toán Học Không Đùa Được
5 siêu sao cùng đội? Luxury tax sẽ khiến Jeanie Buss khóc ròng hơn một trận thua của Westbrook! Xem bảng tính của tôi đi, Jokic qua rodeo còn dễ hơn!
Các fan Lakers nghĩ sao? Comment tranh luận nhé - ai đề xuất trả lương bằng Bitcoin tôi tặng ly cà phê đá!
خطة ليكيرز الجديدة: شراء الدوري بالكامل؟
لو كان الأمر بيد مالكي ليكيرز الجدد، لاشتروا كل مرشحي MVP ودفعوا لهم حتى عام 2080! لكن للأسف، قواعد الدوري تمنع هذه الأحلام المجنونة.
الحقيقة المرّة:
- لا يمكن تأجيل المدفوعات 50 سنة مثل بيسبول الدودجرز!
- لو جمعت كل النجوم معًا، سينفجر الفريق أسرع من أداء وستبروك مع ليكيرز!
فلنترك الأحلام لألعاب الفيديو… أو ربما ندفع لهم بالبتكوين؟ 😂
ما رأيكم؟ هل تريدون رؤية جوكيتش وأنتيتوكومبو معًا في ليكيرز؟ شاركونا تخيلاتكم!
Lakers จะซื้อทุกคนเหรอ?
แค่ Dodgers ซื้อ Shohei Ohtani ด้วยสัญญา 700 ล้านก็ว่าบ้าแล้ว ตอนนี้มีข่าวว่า Lakers จะตามมาติดๆ แถม瞄準ทุกคนที่ติดท็อป 5 MVP!
CBA หัวเราะแล้วบอก “ไม่นะ”
กฎ NBA เค้าไม่อนุญาตให้เลื่อนการจ่ายเงินไปถึงปี 2080 นะครับ Jokic อาจจะต้องไปแข่ง Rodeo แทนถ้ารอไม่ไหว!
สุดท้ายก็แค่เมม
แต่ถ้าเกิดขึ้นจริง…แบบนี้ตารางข้อมูล defensive efficiency ของผมคงระเบิดแน่ๆ 🤯
คิดว่า Lakers จะทำได้มั้ย? คอมเมนต์มาสนุกกัน!(และอย่าลืมว่า LeBron นี่จ่ายด้วย Bitcoin ได้นะ)
Lakers का ‘अनलिमिटेड’ प्लान
अगर Dodgers के मालिक की तरह Lakers भी हर MVP उम्मीदवार को खरीदने लगें, तो क्या होगा?
मेरे Excel शीट के अनुसार:
- जोकिक का वेतन 2080 तक चलेगा (उस समय तक वह रोडियो स्टार बन चुके होंगे!)
- एंथनी एडवर्ड्स को क्रिप्टो में भुगतान करना पड़ेगा
- और गियानिस की 50 साल की किश्तें… ये तो RBI का नया लोन मॉडल बन जाएगा!
सच्चाई यह है:
NBA के नियमों में ऐसा होना नामुमकिन है… पर अगर ऐसा हो जाए, तो मेरे डेटा चार्ट्स को देखकर Jeanie Buss का दिल दहल जाएगा!
आपका क्या ख्याल है? कौन सा खिलाड़ी इस ‘पागलपन’ के लायक है? 😆
Gila nih rumor! Lakers mau beli semua kandidat MVP kayak belanja di pasar malam? Bayangin aja, bayar Jokic sampai tahun 2080!
CBA bakal meledak kalo beneran terjadi. Luxury tax-nya aja bisa buat beli pulau kecil!
Tapi serius deh, lebih mungkin Westbrook balik ke Lakers daripada ini jadi kenyataan.
Kalian bisa bayangin gaji LeBron dibayar paka Bitcoin? 😂
レイカーズがMVP候補全員を獲得？笑いが止まらない！
ドジャースのオーナーがレイカーズにも参入って噂を聞いて、さすがにこれは無理でしょ！(笑)
NBAのサラリーキャップルール的に、2080年まで分割払いとかアダム・シルバー委員長が許すわけないですよね。
現実的なシナリオと言えば… ・ジョキッチ：代わりにロデオ選手権に出場 ・アンテトクンポ：50年分割で10兆円契約 ・ドンチッチ：ユーロリーグの借金帳消し付き
データ的にも完全に不可能なこの計画、2Kゲームならありかも？
みなさんならどの選手をどうやって獲得しますか？コメントで妄想バスケット話しよう！#NBAジョーク
- 1 in 5 Fans at Pacers' Arena Will Be Thunder Supporters: Data Reveals Stunning Road Invasion for NBA Finals G6As a data analyst crunching NBA fan migration patterns, I can confirm: Thunder fans are staging a historic takeover in Indiana. Ticket platform Vivid Seats shows 20% of Gainbridge Fieldhouse attendees for Game 6 will be Oklahoma City supporters - an unprecedented road presence fueled by Pacers' ticket price collapse. My Python models suggest this could shift home-court advantage by 3.2% based on decibel projections. Welcome to the analytics of fandom warfare.
- Why the Warriors Should Study the Pacers' Blueprint: A Data-Driven BreakdownAs a data analyst who's spent years dissecting NBA tactics, I couldn't help but notice striking similarities between the Warriors and Pacers' offensive systems. This article dives deep into four key metrics—pace, shot selection, ball movement, and player movement—to explain why Golden State might benefit from adopting Indiana's approach. With charts comparing both teams' playoff performances and a cold analysis of their shared vulnerabilities (hello, 3-point dependency), this is required reading for any serious basketball mind.
