Jeanie Buss, Buss Family to Sell Los Angeles Lakers to Mark Walter for $10B Valuation

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss the sale of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Yesterday, a landmark deal was reached in which Jeanie Buss and the Buss Family sold approximately 66% ownership of the Los Angeles Lakers franchise to Mark Walter — the owner of the Dodgers — valuing the Lakers around $10 billion, setting a new record for an American professional sports sale.

Jeanie Buss retains her role as team governor and president, continuing to oversee Lakers operations. The Buss family will hold onto a minority stake — around 15%, maintaining a lasting presence. While Jeanie Buss did sell majority control, she's still at the helm of the organization. Will this deal change anything for the Lakers? How do Lakers fans feel about the deal?
