What happened: Nate Duncan argued Jeanie Buss could lose the legal fight tied to the Buss family dispute over the Los Angeles Lakers. The discussion centered on the siblings' litigation and also touched on Los Angeles' offseason and its projected starters.

Why it matters: The ownership fight matters because it could affect control of the franchise while sale tensions remain unresolved. That uncertainty also hangs over the Lakers' buildup to the 2026-27 season.

What to watch: Watch for another court move or ownership step as the dispute continues into the offseason. The Lakers also still must cut their roster from 16 players to 15 before the Oct. 20 opener.
