A significant rift has emerged within the Buss family regarding the potential sale of their remaining stake in the Los Angeles Lakers. Reports indicate that a majority of the family members are in favor of selling their shares, a move that would follow Mark Walter's earlier departure as majority owner.
However, current Lakers executive Jeanie Buss is reportedly opposing the sale, with her legal team asserting that any family vote on the matter is invalid due to trust stipulations. This internal conflict threatens to derail the proposed transaction and highlights a long-standing divide over control of the iconic NBA franchise.
