Love that money can pretty much buy anything.$700 M deal
Goodbye, Staples Center. Hello, Crypto.com Arena
The Staples Center will become known as Crypto.com Arena as part of a new 20-year deal between the Singapore cryptocurrency exchange and AEG, owner of the home arena of the Los Angeles Lakers, Clippers, Kings and Sparks.www.latimes.com

The reaction to the arena name change is bizarre to me. I wasn't aware that so many fans were attached to a corporately named arena. It's not like it's dodger stadium or something, the place has been named after an office supply store for 20 years. Even the forum was named after the Great Western Bank. A name change was bound to happen
Like a lot of you guys, I never really associated the Staples center with a staples retail brand. Whenever they said Staples center I never thought about shopping there.

I think it has more to do with a) the current tire fire of a lakers season with bad decisions just piling on b)any arena with a dot com is just garbage. Let alone an international website

Crypto.com 
Too bad Miami got FTX, Coinbase should’ve tried to cop naming rights instead of crypto.com but I’ll take it
Staples for sure got their money’s worth out of their endorsement deal. That has to be one of the greatest stadium naming rights deals in sports history. Nobody gives a **** about staples the brand but “Staples Center” was inconic.
I wonder if they’ll do crypto give aways like FTX arena does. I need some more $one
Complaining about this is weird when the Lakers got some Asian company I never heard of as the jersey sponsor. Wish.com jersey sponsor was terrible too.

Bucks might be the one team more hobbled than us (Lopez, Middleton, DiVincenzo, Hill). Must take advantage.

Lakers have lost 5 games without LeBron. OKC/OKC/PDX/MIN/CHI. Anybody think Bron is good for at least 2 wins in that span? That would put the Lakers at 4th in the west. 3 would put them at third. But yea the issue might be that you just can't count on him to be available like that anymore

Even prior to all the injuries i had this team on pace to be a 4th seed, 3rd seed max. I suspect that we'll hover around 6,7 for the first half of the season & really start to catch a rhythm coming into the playoffs as roles are defined & hopefully we're healthier.
Seeding really doesn't matter to me much, I think the West isn't as strong as its been in the past so i'll take my chances with the Lebron/Cavs way of the later years. And use the regular season as prep for the playoffs. Don't need are guys running down for seeding.

More like
when we lose in 2nd round people gonna finally come around and say “hmmm I guess this team was flawed. Russ. 9 point guards. No wings. 2 old centers. A coach who needs specific type players we never got him. Who woulda thunk it!!!??”
