If there's another name change soon, I vote for Greater Western Forum. |

Chyle...
In a statement, Crypto.com announced the exchange closing will not affect its retail app business. “We remain fully confident in the continued success of our market differentiating capabilities and offerings,” it read, in part.

Furthermore, AEG, which has a business deal for the naming rights of Crypto.com Arena, does not anticipate today’s news affecting the name of the downtown Los Angeles home for the Lakers, Clippers, Kings and Sparks.

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? _________________ Playoffs is good enough. - Jeanie Buss 2024 |

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. |
