I wish they'd put an end to renting out naming rights and just adopt something cooler.

Dr Buss was a trailblazer on naming rights, changing it to the Great Western Forum. Of course it sounded like it wasn’t even a naming right. _________________ Darvin |

You wish that a business would decide that they don’t want to generate revenue? AEG isn’t turning that down. Besides, it would probably cost a ton of cash to buy the Forum name from Ballmer. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Crypto.com conjures an image of a franchise built as a pyramid scheme with no intrinsic value, shows great promise, then collapses in the blink of an eye. Yeah a different name would be nice. |

I'm surprised crypto.com hasn't gone out of business by now. Still waiting for a new name. Staples probably will fall victim to the retail apocalypse so I don't think they could buy the naming rights again. Can we get like a staple company? Maybe TESLA CENTER or GOOGLE PLACE? _________________ LeGoat! LeMazing! LeGend! |

AEG is the loser here. Not the Lakers. The Lakers just play there - They are the leasee (rentor) and AEG is the leasor (owner of real estate) _________________ Naz Reid or Brooks Lopez are a must in the 2023 offseason! |

The naming rights would just go back up on the market. They would still be making upgrades just because it needs to be done to be competitive with other arenas. |
