湖人125亿美元出售谈拢全部条款：Kushner称资金已筹齐、只待签约与NBA批准
据 ESPN 记者 Ramona Shelburne 周五报道，洛杉矶湖人老板 Mark Walter 与 Thrive Capital 创始人 Josh Kushner 已经谈拢这笔球队出售的全部未决条款，交易对湖人的估值为125亿美元。消息人士向 ESPN 透露，两人周四在 Walter 位于 Florida 的家中当面会谈、敲定交易，预计很快签署正式协议；Kushner 已向 Walter 保证，收购所需的资金已经全部筹齐。
正式协议签署后，交易将送交 NBA 审查，联盟会核查交易的融资安排与股权结构，之后由联盟理事会投票批准。ESPN 预计，批准可能在今年年底或明年年初完成；联盟理事会定于11月举行会议。
Kushner 与前 Disney 首席执行官 Bob Iger 是在今年8月与 Walter 达成收购意向的，据 ESPN 的内幕报道，交易在72小时内谈成，Kushner 以125亿美元估值提出买入 Walter 的股份，比 Walter 约14个月前从 Buss 家族购入湖人时的100亿美元估值高出25%。按后续报道的分工预期，Kushner 将成为大股东，Iger 持少数股份并主管球队日常运营。
这笔交易还有两个未决事项。其一是少数股权的继续出让：据 Front Office Sports 报道，Kushner 与 Iger 一方一直在向新投资人出让少数份额，每份起价2.5亿美元。其二是 Buss 家族信托仍持有的17.8%湖人股份正涉单独争议，ESPN 称 Buss 家族兄妹已在进行和解谈判，若谈不成，12月8日将开庭。
在交易正式签署并获 NBA 批准之前，湖人控制权不变。这笔125亿美元的交易若完成，将是职业体育球队有史以来最高的成交估值。
Lakers' $12.5 Billion Sale Terms Agreed: Kushner Says Funding Is Raised, With Signing and NBA Approval Still Ahead
Los Angeles Lakers owner Mark Walter and Thrive Capital founder Josh Kushner have agreed on all outstanding terms of the sale of the franchise at a $12.5 billion valuation, sources close to the negotiations told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne on Friday. The two men met in person on Thursday at Walter's home in Florida to finalize the transaction and are expected to sign the formal agreement soon. Sources said Kushner assured Walter he has raised all the money needed to complete the sale.
Once the agreement is signed, it will go to the NBA for review, a process in which the league examines the financing and the ownership structure before the Board of Governors votes. ESPN reported that approval is expected by the end of this year or early next; the board is set to meet in November.
Kushner and former Disney chief executive Bob Iger first agreed to buy the Lakers from Walter in August. ESPN's inside account said the deal came together over 72 hours, with Kushner offering to buy Walter's shares at the $12.5 billion valuation, 25 percent more than the $10 billion valuation at which Walter bought the team from the Buss family about 14 months earlier. Kushner is expected to become the majority owner, with Iger taking a minority stake and overseeing day-to-day operations.
Two matters remain open. Front Office Sports reported that Kushner and Iger have been offering minority stakes starting at $250 million each. Separately, the Buss family trust still owns 17.8 percent of the Lakers and that stake is the subject of a dispute; ESPN reported the siblings have held settlement talks, with a court date set for December 8 if no settlement is reached.
Until the agreement is signed and the NBA approves it, control of the Lakers does not change. At $12.5 billion, the deal would be the richest valuation ever placed on a professional sports franchise.
