Lakers sold? "Not so fast, my friend," says Jeanie Buss. Lakers governor Jeanie Buss says siblings cannot sell family's stake to Bob Iger, Joshua Kushner

The overall sale can still happen. What's in dispute is whether Jeanie's siblings are breaking an agreement by selling the combined Buss stake without her approval. She can't stay as team governor until 2030 if their stake falls below 15 percent.

What I don't know is what she gains. Four years as governor doesn't seem like a prize worth the fight.
