The league-wide reaction to the sale of the Los Angeles Lakers to Mark Walter is mostly positive due to his wealth and track record.

For just under $10 billion, private equity firm 3G Capital recently bought Skechers — an ascendant global footwear brand with $9 billion in annual sales and 20,000 employees spread across 5,300 stores.

Many people, including Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, feel the change in ownership for the Lakers will be a positive one.
