Buss brothers agree to new board of directors for Lakers, with Jeanie Buss on it

The struggle between Jeanie Buss and her brothers, Jim and Johnny, for control of the Lakers has moved toward resolution.

The brothers signed a two-page consent agreement earlier this week to waive the team’s annual shareholders meeting and elect their sister and four others to the board of directors, according to documents filed Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

This means Jeanie Buss, the Lakers president, will remain the team’s controlling owner until at least the next shareholders meeting in December.

Joey Buss, the second-youngest of the six Buss siblings who is president of the team’s NBA Development League affiliate, Johnny Buss, AEG President Dan Beckerman and Lakers Executive Vice President Francis Mariani were also selected as directors.
