The Buss siblings\u2019 infighting has reached the point that commissioner Adam Silver may have to do something about it.<\/p>\n

There is an expectation that Silver will intervene and try to smooth over the issues among the Buss family relating to the sale of the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>, according to Tom Friend of Sports Business Journal<\/a>. Silver is known to be close with Jeanie Buss, who is fighting her siblings\u2019 efforts to sell their share of the Lakers to incoming owners Bob Iger and Joshua Kushner.<\/p>\n

This demonstrates just how rough things have gotten among the Buss siblings, who are very much at each other\u2019s throats over the future of the Lakers. Five of the six have adamantly said they intend to sell<\/a> no matter what Jeanie says, while Jeanie is determined to prevent that<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Silver\u2019s options are limited, and the five siblings in favor of selling probably won\u2019t eagerly listen to what he has to say if he is perceived to be on Jeanie\u2019s side. However, beyond simply turning into a PR issue, the situation is threatening to foul up the $12.5 billion sale of one of the league\u2019s most iconic franchises.<\/p>\n

For now, the incoming owners appear determined to make the drama go away<\/a> as cleanly as possible. That is likely Silver\u2019s goal as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Buss siblings\u2019 infighting has reached the point that commissioner Adam Silver may have to do something about…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":593320,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3790],"tags":[2214,7,8300,4034,1698,300,4044,251,150,4033,4043,6],"class_list":["post-818882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles-lakers","tag-adam-silver","tag-basketball","tag-jeanie-buss","tag-la","tag-la-lakers","tag-lakers","tag-lalakers","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-lakers","tag-losangeles","tag-losangeleslakers","tag-nba"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/117145743088948226","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=818882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818882\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/593320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=818882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=818882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=818882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
