Shouldn't Del Harris be in the coaches section instead of the contributor section? 89.243.118.11 (talk) 03:25, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, my apologies for my assumption at the time. 89.243.118.11 (talk) 05:17, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The seasons page has the 5 missing division titles from the 48-49, 51-52, 58-59, 67-68, 69-70 seasons with the 50-51 season being a loss and i remember old versions of the homepage also featured them. So could someone fix that glaring error at some point? So it would actually be 39 division titles.89.243.118.11 (talk) 03:30, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe an edit request? Or am i in no position to ask that as an anonymous user? 89.243.118.11 (talk) 05:19, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It was probably awarded to the team with the best record, not the one that went to the finals. The Rochester Royals finished with the best record in the Western division in 1952 and have the division title for that season listed in their article. Alvaldi (talk) 08:36, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The seasons page has it the other way with the Royals winning the division in 51 and the Lakers in 52 so somethings not adding up here 89.243.118.11 (talk) 01:44, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Probably best to take this up at Wikipedia:WikiProject National Basketball Association. Alvaldi (talk) 18:59, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well that's for just the 1 division title, a regular edit should put the other 5 on here any day without any issue 89.243.118.11 (talk) 10:26, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This page needs no correction. Division titles go to the team with the best regular season record in the division.—Myasuda (talk) 12:41, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

After the 60s yeah 89.243.118.11 (talk) 17:16, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Like argue that then about the actual main page which literally contradicts that non-point you made in full confidence 89.243.118.11 (talk) 17:20, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Divisions where the conferences pre 1971 and historical edits on here had those back when it said 32 conference titles in 2017-19 and then the article split them into what it is now in 2020 by putting the pre 1971 conference titles into the divisions but whoever edited it did it wrong, i know my NBA history thank you very much and in total the Lakers have 77 titles with 5 missing. It's glaringly wrong when you then look at the seasons article and you see them there like am i the only person that noticed that in 5 years? 89.243.118.11 (talk) 17:29, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're using some confusing, non-standard terminology. What do you mean by "homepage", "main page", and "season page"? Try providing either links to the articles you're referring to or at least the full article names. Once you do that, we'll be able to understand what you're comparing. Then, if those other pages need to be fixed, we can proceed to go about that.—Myasuda (talk) 01:21, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Buss Family sold their majority ownership to Matt Walter. 2603:8000:8D40:18AC:FD20:8203:F7FA:4CA8 (talk) 15:41, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RSBREAKINGNEWS that they agreed to terms ≠ sold (past tense). It's kind of like buying a house, not a bag of potato chips. —Bagumba (talk) 15:46, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I am aware but they still agreed to terms to sell their majority ownership. 98.149.165.98 (talk) 18:13, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
