Buss brothers Johnny, Jim trying to bust family trust, sister Janie says

Janie Buss, the younger sister of Lakers controlling owner Jeanie Buss, believes that her two older brothers are trying to bust the family trust so they can sell their interest in the franchise, which was recently valued at $3 billion by Forbes magazine.

"They're (Jim and Johnny) trying to bust the trust so they call their [interests]," Janie Buss said in an ESPN.com story from ESPN's Ramona Shelburne posted Wednesday. "And if they sell, that'll leave the rest of us in a minority."
