Jeanie Buss's sale of the Lakers majority share includes a written agreement allowing her to remain as team governor for a minimum of five years. Unlike Mark Cuban’s situation in Dallas, where he had a handshake deal that fell through, Buss’s formal agreement ensures stability during the transition of ownership. The Buss family, involved with the Lakers since the 1970s, will still provide familiar leadership. However, logistical questions about Buss's role and financial decision-making arise as Walter's money will be used for team operations.
Jeanie Buss will maintain the role of team governor for at least five seasons after the sale of the Lakers, ensuring continuity in leadership.
This agreement contrasts with Mark Cuban's situation, where his handshake agreement quickly became ineffective after selling the Mavericks.
The Buss family's presence in the Lakers organization has been a staple since the 1970s, and their transition to new ownership will keep familiar leadership.
Questions remain regarding how Buss will operate as governor with Walter's financial backing and what that means for decision-making logistics.
