Shams Charania: Sources tell me that the Lakers have fired, effective immediately, to minority owners, as well as leading basketball executives in Joey and Jesse Buss. Most of the front office scouting department has been fired today. And you think about just going back to when Mark Walter took over. Possibly these changes were on the horizon. Eventually, Jeanie Buss has stayed on as the governor, but Joey and Jesse Buss, interestingly, were the two siblings that voted against the sale of the ten billion dollar sale of the Los Angeles Lakers to Mark Walter. And they have been responsible. They've been at the key center of the Lakers scouting department, thinking about players like Austin Reeves, Alex Caruso, um, Kyle Kuzma, Julius Randle, on and on and on. I just spoke to Jesse Buss today and he told me it was Dr. Buss's idea for Joey and I to run basketball operations one day. But Jeanie has effectively kept herself in place with her siblings fired.
