Jeanie Buss Discussion: Following In Dad's Footsteps

Absolutely. I’m not mad at the younger brothers for trying to honor their old man and keep the franchise in the family.

But as a fan, this chapter can’t close fast enough.

 

Ehh. Fifth hand info so do what you want with it but if Rob wants to be here past Jeannie he should probably make sure things are good with Magic.


Jeannie looked out for her team in the deal well aware that the clocks ticking loudly on all of them.


I remain in the “just clean house and start fresh” camp.


It’s an absolute miracle we are where we are with the level of disfunction in that front office.

 

define irony, though. because what qualifications does magic have as FO guy beyond being trusted by walter?

and i'm being serious: do you want magic having input on any front office decisions--even whom to hire for the front office? nothing i've seen from him suggests he knows what he's doing in this regard. this is not jerry west.

 

Please no Magic again

 

Magic is good at airing dirty laundry and felt he was backstabbed! He made the best trade ever by dumping Zubac for Muscala! What a lowlight in Lakers history





Thank god we won after getting AD. Otherwise, this franchise would've sank further and further into the ground.

 

Exactly. No hard feelings, towards any of them, not even Jim, but please just leave and take the Rambii with you. I also have a soft spot fot the younger Buss brothers, they seem to have done a good job and cared for Jerry's legacy, but it's just time to let go.

 

Magic is probably worse than the Rambii, and I have no clue what they're responsible for. For now I choose to stay optimistic and assume the new ownership is smart enough to not make ANY decisions based on Earwin's advice.

 

I never wanted Magic or Rob and spent the whole summer arguing about it with Vash. Good times lol.

But both were brought in based on Laker ties and I didn’t like it. Neither has experience in their roles and I wanted a group who could hit the ground running without needing to learn on the job.

Hoping we can do things the right way with professionals from top to bottom who can do their jobs without finger pointing or dating the head coach.

All that said, Magic has had “input” for awhile and never really left in that sense. He WILL be involved with this transition but not in a leadership role so that doesn’t bother me much. He’s fine for helping pitch talent and being an ambassador of sorts for the team. He shouldn’t be running the club.

 

100% this

It's never personal, it's just business

And it should be treated that way always
