Jim Buss Article (USA TODAY SAM AMICK)

Nobody good was going to sign here with or without that article. Ref back to last off season and see how pathetic it looked when it was leaked that mgmt had to beg Aldridge agent just to get a 2nd meeting so they wouldnt look so stupid when it came to basketball related questions, ref back to the fact Monroe didnt even look our way.....what Jeannie had something tondo with that too?

 

Likely so no highly sought FA was going to sign here. That excuses what she did?? Clearly detrimental to the organization's best interests. It certainly wasn't meant to help the organization but rather hurt her brother's chances at remaining. He screwed her 4 years ago with the unexpected passing over of Phil for D'antoni. Much more likely she still believes in Phil and is engaged to him, and would go back to him, rather than start a hunt on her own for an other than "Phil" hiring with Jim out of the way now.

 

Heard that too

 

Jeannie wasnt in the fa pitch meeting nor was she involved in the coaching hires...i dont see you addressing that in ref to jim failure in those 2 department

 

Forget it. You keep changing the subject with regard to what I was talking about. Do you always ignore what's written 3 different ways in 3 separate posts?

Doesn't make any difference any more now as their breaking off their engagement since I last typed with you ....makes my concern moot and the topic null and void. Phil's not coming back regardless of what happens now with Jimmy boy and it wasn't my point to be defending his prior f*** ups.

 

It's still f*** the Buss kids as far as I'm concerned until they prove me otherwise .

Their fight for power and " no clue" approach/strategy have seriously damaged the image of an elite organization in a time setting record

 

Jeannie has had fewer failures than Jim, in all aspects of being part of the lakers org. She worked from the bottom up, Jim was made an executive off the bat with no schooling, no experience and coming off of several failed ventures outside of the lakers where he also probably lacked schooling/xp. Jeannine isn't perfect, but she's not the one who makes trades, hirings bad coaches time and time again and makes public moronic guarantee's like Jim has (even during our dark days). Yes she's underminded Jim with WORDS not actions, she has not stopped him from his past poor coaching hiring decisions, stopped him from making poor trades, etc. I know we're laker fans but you guys are sad to be honest, to be happy that Jeannie had to give up her love just so some here can be satisfied that she's truly giving her all to the Lakers now, well wtf has Jim given up then?

 

what rep did he have? was it not true he hired his bartender buddy as a scout? Was it not true he failed at horse racing? Didn't attend any schooling, failed at coaching hires, etc.? And Jeannine rep hasn't been getting flung around here because of her ties to Phil? As for you tieing Jeannine to Jims failures, well all things considered she should get some slack for being respectable enough as sibling cause if Jim wasn't part owner and family he would've/should've been fired a long time ago. I understand people feelings about Phil NOW since NYK hasn't been worlds beater since his reign their but AT THE TIME of MDA hiring, why was it so wrong for Jeannie to want Phil here? Besides the fact Phil was her man, its not like she was lobbying for a failure of a coach like Boron or Brown for that matter but a coach that brought us 5 chips in less than a decade, tell me what other coaches we had over the years that had that potential? Given MDA and Boron failed tenure here, if I was Jeannie I'd still be angry and annoyed to this today myself regardless of Phils lack of success in NYK....and as much failure as NYK is having, at the very least they can say they have a franchise player and another one in place to take over eventually in Porzingis, something I hardly doubt any laker fan can say at this point with a lot of confidence.

 

WWBD?

 

This is as good of a place as any.

Yeah but it was supposed to be Stern's head. He needs an exploding head. And with a basketball taking it off for his "basketball reasons" is sweet justice. Any way to do that? This is just gratuitous Buss family violence.

 

Yes, that's the type of "unnatural basketball act" we need, for "basketball reasons"!
