After angering Stratechery’s Daman Rangoola in private about his JOY over Wednesday’s Lakers team sale, I decided to allow his grievances to be aired in public. Or at least behind this paywall. Beyond being highly informed about the tech world, Daman is a Laker obsessive, with ties to people in the know. And so we discussed topics including but not limited to…
Was I improperly throwing cold water on Laker fan excitement?
What’s up with the trend of hyped ownership changes going poorly?
Did Mark Cuban negotiate a bad team sale price?
How can Daman compliment Jeanie and be so damned thrilled?
Is Luka Doncic an OWNER KILLER???
End of NBA mom and pop shops
What should even get improved by the new Lakers?
Is Rob Pelinka guaranteed to be fired?
Why does the NBA allow the interruption of its Finals with this stuff?
