And it is key to remember, she brought the deal with Mark Walter to the table last summer.
And there were – I reported it months ago, and it was reported by other people that there were multiple siblings that did not want to go through with that sale.
They believed it was best to wait, that it was not the right time to go through with the sale.
But Genie Bus at that point and the Bus family, the siblings, there was not a majority that did not want to go through with it.
So they went through with the sale to Mark Walter, and now they're obviously going to –
fight this potentially in the courts not potentially
I mean, Mark Walters sold this so fast, and obviously there's a lot of legal aspects to all of this as well.
But Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, they're coming in at about 65%.
So if they do get the remaining about 18%, that would put their valuation, their percentage of the team, at about 83%.
If you're Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, you're buying into this team.
Josh Kushner, to my understanding, was set up to be the controlling owner upon entrance of this with Bob Iger handling a lot of the leadership and the day-to-day operations at the ownership position.
And so if that's the case, you know, how are you, you know, and Bob Iger went on the record saying, like, they have a lot of respect for Jeannie Buss and they intend to honor the word of Mark Walter and Jeannie Buss.
But if things change, they'll change, to paraphrase.
And so how does this family aspect play into that?
And then when they buy into the team, you know...
If this is still being battled out in the court, how are they handling it?
Is Jeannie Buss still the controlling governor at about 17% when they bought in at 65%?
And what's interesting here is last Tuesday, a Lakers VP of Finance actually called for a meeting.
to create a new trust to basically lock down and freeze everyone's shares through the next four years, which would line up with the remainder of Jeannie Buss' governorship.
And the family did not agree to it, to my understanding.
