After three days of secret negotiations, Mark Walter has taken control of the Los Angeles Lakers, a move that has reignited a fresh round of disputes among the six Buss siblings.
The Lakers, one of the NBA’s most storied franchises, have long been associated with the Buss family. Walter’s acquisition came in a swift, undisclosed deal that was kept out of the public eye until the final announcement.
Sources say the talks were held in secrecy, with no details released about the terms of the sale. The brief, confidential period culminated in Walter’s official takeover of the team.
The transfer has sparked renewed tension within the Buss family, who have historically shared ownership of the Lakers. The six siblings now face another chapter of intra‑family disagreement over the franchise’s future.
With Walter now at the helm, questions remain about the direction of the Lakers and how the new ownership will navigate the legacy and expectations tied to the franchise.
