It's an end of an era.

The Lakers will no longer have controlling ownership of the franchise held by the Buss family. What started in 1979 ended on Wednesday, with reports that the Buss children have agreed to sell majority interest in the team to Dodgers owner Mark Walter at a price that values the franchise at about $10-$12 million. It's a massive number, but is the deal unexpected? People have been talking about a potential sale for a long time, and Walter, who already owned about a quarter of the team and had right of first refusal should the team ever be put up for sale, has always been the expected successor. Even if people didn't expect it for a little while longer.

So what happens to Jeanie Buss? Well for now, she keeps doing her job. And reports indicate Buss might be around for a while, even, continuing as governor for the franchise. We'll see, but that's the current plan. What about Rob Pelinka? In the short term, nothing. But he's likely feeling a bit uncomfortable.

In the meantime, the Dodgers can't suddenly rewrite the rules of the CBA to let them flex their money muscles. But what they can do is start investing heavily in all the places the league allows. They can build out staffs, hire the best people, and make the Lakers a prized destination.
