Even though a majority share of the Lakers is being sold to Mark Walter, Jeanie Buss will retain her role as governor for some time.

A report from Front Office Sports claims Buss will remain as team governor for up to five years "at most." That puts a hard cap on how long Buss will be the franchise's decision-maker. Walter is likely going to be able to exert influence in that time but it would appear Buss will still remain in control.
