Jeanie Buss’s protection of Rob Pelinka is what allows LeBron James to remain with the Lakers

In June 2025, the Los Angeles Lakers made NBA history by agreeing to sell a controlling stake to billionaire investor Mark Walter, valuing the franchise at roughly $10 billion. Despite the seismic ownership change, team governor Jeanie Buss is contracted to remain in charge for several years, an arrangement that firmly connects Rob Pelinka's and certain players' job security to her tenure.According to reporting, Jeanie Buss "will remain in charge of the Lakers for the foreseeable future" as part of the sale agreement. Her continued presence as governor means Pelinka is expected to remain as general manager "for as long as Jeanie's in place." In effect, Buss's leadership ensures front-office continuity during this period of transition.Jubilation and underlying tensionAs the Lakers recently celebrated Luka Doncic's three-year, $165 million maximum contract extension, Walter arranged a VIP concert experience in Las Vegas on Saturday.The […]
