🚨REPORT🚨: JEANIE BUSS CONTESTING THE LAKERS 17.8% OWNERSHIP SALE, "ANY VOTE" BY ANY OF THE BUSS SIBLINGS WOULD BE AND IS "VOID" . 🤯👀

Despite reporting that all six Buss siblings had agreed to sell their 17.8% share in the team, Lakers governor Jeanie Buss, is reportedly contesting the sale.

In a letter obtained by multiple outlets, Jeanie Buss' lawyer Adam Streisand wrote that she was opposed to selling the team, and that "any 'vote' by any of the Buss siblings would be and is void" given that it would violate requirements of the Buss' trust, which owns the shares of the Lakers.

🚨REPORT🚨: THE LAKERS ARE STILL PURSUING JONATHAN KUMINGA FROM ATLANTA HAWKS:

Now that based on reports the Kuminga trade will not include Dalton Knecht, and Lakers may be planning on keeping him and continue to use him going forward, need to open a roster spot to sign Thybulle.

Here is what we can do:

Kuminga for Vando (3rd team?) 2 Wizard 2nds at $17m salary. Then trade Bronny, Hardy, 2032 swap for Jalen Smith (C/PF - Good all around backup small ball center and PF.)
This gives us 14 roster spots which we can use to sign Thybulle.

Here is my roster after this, with the option to maybe trade Jake or Dalton later to open a roster spot to have 14 players for another signing (Manon or other?)

✨Starters: Luka, Austin, Grimes, Kuminga, Kessler
🔸Bench: Sexton, Thybulle, Williams, Mamu, Looney
🔹Others: Carr, Dalton, Thiero, Jake, Smith
