House of Strauss HoS: Daman Rangoola on Lakers Sale SHOCKER
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?
