The family holds 17.8% of the franchise, valued at $12.5 billion by the group led by Bob Iger and Josh Kushner.

Jeanie Buss acusou os irmãos de uma campanha “de capa e espada” na imprensa e pediu a um tribunal de Los Angeles que os impeça de vender a participação restante da família no Lakers, segundo documento protocolado nesta semana.
No documento, ela afirma que Joey e Jesse Buss ressentem a decisão do pai de lhe entregar os direitos de governadora da equipe. Uma audiência está marcada para 8 de dezembro.
Bob Iger e Josh Kushner lideram um grupo que quer comprar o Lakers de Mark Walter, num negócio que avalia a franquia em US$ 12,5 bilhões. A família detém 17,8%, pouco acima do piso de 15% exigido pela liga para manter o controle; a venda encerraria o papel de Buss como governadora.
“Os conflitos que se seguiram à morte do dr. (Jerry) Buss (em 2013) foram tristemente inevitáveis, e sem dúvida se intensificaram porque o dr. Buss escolheu a filha em vez de quatro filhos para ser sua sucessora”, escreveram os representantes dela no documento. O documento pede a destituição de dois irmãos como cotrustees, uma declaração de desacato e a responsabilização de Jim, Johnny e Jesse por ajudarem a descumprir a ordem de 2017.
A divisão não é nova. Jim Buss perdeu para ela o cargo de operações de basquete em 2017, e ele e Johnny então tentaram tomar seu assento no conselho; um acordo a manteve no comando. Se a família vender tudo, cada irmão receberia mais US$ 371 milhões, e as conversas por um acordo já começaram, segundo relatos.
