Staples Center No More, Plus Lakers Cut One Forward, Sign Another 

Same

😅😂

I'm still not watching basketball.

Who cares what you call it.

@@oatnoid but you are here watching nba lakers news

Hahahahahahaha 💀

Actually staples paid for naming rights but ended up becoming a failed business so they needed to sell the naming rights. Also your mama likely watched the lakers at The Forum before the staples center existed. Lol

Mama probably watched the Lakers when they were in Minnesota.

@@JonathanNelsonOfficial weirdo

@@JonathanNelsonOfficial wth? Lmao

@@JonathanNelsonOfficial um I'm not vaccinated lol but that's pretty harsh to say either way

Buy more CRO!!! To the moon baby!!!🚀🚀🚀🚀

For real

Good call

Kobe's company ain't paying them 700million

Nah, no money there.

Kobe Bryant arena

with you on that, we literally havent seen ONE game from the Lakers with everyone healthy and playing yet, but everyone is a fair weather fan and wants to panic, we are in it for the long run and will stick with this team no matter what happens, I give it 2-3 weeks until we see everyone fully healthy and everyone will jump back on when Lakers start tearing up the NBA with Russ serving his role.

No you're not the only one...those fake-ass Laker fans can all go to hell, with there constant "fire" "trade" and "bench" talk. I hope those idiots keep that same dumb energy when everyone's healthy, and we start rolling.

@@nurbmanjones1709 This. All of this. Bravo. 👏👏👏

No but its hard when every sports show purposely riles up the fan base for the sake of their ratings. The casual idiots fall for it and ignore context

Why would LeBron James 0 trade and fire two individuals that receive all the blame for all the losses?

Ikr Bro Me Too I Can't Believe There Changing The Name The House Kob Built

The house kobe built oh great, he passes away they sell the rights - typical bs. It’s staples to me and my kids and grandkids

Kinda ironic that you insist on calling it Staples when Staples is the one changing the name to Crypto.

Why do you think it was called Staples in the first place?lol yall being too dramatic on here

most iconic arena he says. I still say the Armory was the best venue.

@@JohnDoe-rk7ej lmao it’s too early for all that negative energy & hate in your heart bro 🤣. Everything ok at home?

@@XNYCBK 😂no cap

if you have not noticed since forever, money ruined the world.

@@kosmique definitely noticed but this is just in regards to the lakers decision

Uh, Staples literally paid money for the original naming rights. What are you on?

Kobe hated Lebron #FACTS

@@thatway2249 un real they do anything to get more money my thoughts it should stay staples center

@@thatway2249 That's bad cap

@@makesmartTROYces lmfao ok

I know u aren't a Lakers fan... can't wait til Lebron leaves and take all of u with him

No, Staples got bought out. The deal is between the building owner (AEG) and Crypto. I think there's a bit of misreporting, because there are no "lifetime" deals.

@@ericp1139 oh okay now I understand

Yup same I grew up here I’ll always Recognize is as Staples Center

Get with the future

When your team picks its gang 😂😂

Bruh... we go from brother to bro and now bruh

@@Bats10 bruh

Yeah bruh

😂😅 Facts

Well fact is Staples is a company that paid for their naming rights. Jeez...Staples is not a biblical name. It's a company that won't be in business for much longer.

You think Staples got the original naming rights for free?

Well, your kids wont.

Call it what u want, I'll be buying more CRO!!! 🚀🚀🚀🚀🤣🤣🤣

having tht back is big nunn is yet another guard but he'll be a big help too, idk how much of an impact ariza will make but melo has been big and ofc brons out too

And Fox hills mall.

@@corythegreat323 FACTS!!!

The building will still be there...

Michael Jackson. ! Big deal! It’s the house that Kobe built! Go Lakers

@@creightonchun2873 blasphemous lol

not really though we just won a championship just shy of a year ago, its really sad to be a bandwagon though cause y'all really do expect us to win every game for some reason 😂

@@Ozzymandias493 Bingo. This. 👏

It's part of the game that makes you love it!!!! The bad times create the good times

Don't pay the haters no mind they scared as hell really 🤣

@@Ozzymandias493 tbh it’s both. Lakers fans in general are impatient and want ppl traded after one bad game

Did he say "crypt"🤑

There was a difference....the Forum is not a corporation's name. The ownership never sold the right to call it anything but it's original non- corporate name. But I get and feel what you're saying. Staples is all we have ever known it as. Changing it feels wrong.

Lol. Exactly

not rly. its slides off the tongue. the crypto arena sounds like i'm spitting in somebodys face.

Wait so Sekou is with south bay or is he a free agent?

@@nito8242 free agent

Also office max places are always empty hardly see any ppl there

well a lot of offices and businesses and companies actually still order things from staples and office max. most people aren’t going to buy things in store. they will just order delivery to their business unless you need something quick or own small businesses. it’s why they’re still in business lol

Considering they dumped Caruso over 10M in taxes yeah.

@@weaselworm8681 *cough cough....30mil in taxes *cough cough

@@weaselworm8681 unlike other basketball teams Lakers don't own staples center..

@@weaselworm8681 staples sold the naming rights not the Lakers

@@rajaoctober14 yeah it's owned by AEG if I'm not mistaken. The Lakers lease it from AEG. If anything it's a decision AEG made

I can do without the "Dot Com" part...but as Trevor stated it isn't hard to come up with a decent nickname for it

Shouldve called it the CRIP and have hella ♿ parking

I agree. Bring it back.

Never thought of that....I believe it's only a couple teams that do this. Nets and Lakers

@@Cahluvca knicks too.. the crowd factor in Staples is really different in Staples because of the dark lighting. i hope they bring it back to the Shaq and Kobe days

Me too..didn't know he was injured

AS IF a Laker player has "never" returned before .. 😂🤣

Move the clippers out

Yea but his foot injury is not a simple fix. I liked him though

@@teresa-oj9rq When did he injure it? He just played last Friday when the Lakers got blown out by the Wolves.

@@dowens3781 in practice I believe. He won't be available for a while

Yeah, it's lame. #LakersFanSince1990

Who'd trade for a super max guard that can't hit 3s? Oh yeah, the lakers

The Buss family doesn't own Staples Center...its (Anschutz Entertainment Group) AEG source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschutz_Entertainment_Group

@@amazedsatsuma didn't know that

@@amazedsatsuma Of course not - I don't think that any NBA team owner also owns that team's arena, but I could be wrong.

@@dowens3781 Balmer owns the arena the clippers will transfer to. In the past a lot of the owners also owned the arena like the cavs off the top of my head. I assumed the Bus Family owned the arena too

@@rionshikder813 When are the Clippers changing arenas?

The tax alone was $40M. That's why they said no

He's not worth that much money

Hell no Ellington will be needed

@@SirXPerfect Hell yes in my opinion because I feel like Ellington is a huge liability on defense and a streaky shooter who won't get much playing time because of that especially when everyone is healthy. Lakers need wing defenders with size who can consistently play lockdown defense and shoot. Ennis should've been signed by the Lakers. Even Wes would be a much better fit because he can at least play perimeter defense.

@@erikkdane8485 Get off James Ennis , he sucks . There's a reason why he hasn't been signed. This team is only going to go as far as Bron takes them period!

@@stevenwhite2574 Don't Tell me what to do. I'm posting my opinion just like everyone else. And MY opinion is that James Ennis would've been a vastly better fit for the Lakers instead of all of these 1 dimensional undersized guards who can't play defense and are streaky shooters. At least Ennis is 6'7, can shoot, and play defense on the perimeter. LeBron is a phenomenal player but at age 37 he can no longer carry horrible teams on his back anymore. He is getting injured more often and needs help in the form of 3&D players who can actually defend and make shots. And unfortunately the Lakers don't have enough defensive wings or players healthy enough to help. Pelinka did a awful job putting this roster together because the Lakers can't consistently score or play defense.

@@erikkdane8485 James ennis work out in front of pelinca, James and the la brass and they decided he wasn't good enough. Austin reeves gives them a little bit more than James ennis does, unfortunately reeves got hurt.

they bought lifetime naming rights for 100m , and sold lifetime naming rights for 700m it wasn't taken away... somebody made an offer and the owner sold it. " Does that mean someone could’ve out bid staples after one year and made them waste 100m? " well, no. because the 100m already secured it moving to a new owner. theres nothinig to outbid. you would have to make an offer to the new owner, at which point he would then turn it to profit. quite the opposite of a wasting
