    I just came across that debate. And I also read that rumor somewhere but I can't find the link. This seems to be whispers around the team but what do you guys think about that?

    I can see Jim and possibly Mitch getting fired if the stink up another offseason. But selling the team? Would you be open to a new owner? I like the team staying within the buss family but maybe Jeanie needs to pick up more of the control on the basketball side. But if there is some (possible) friction within the family for the foreseeable future maybe a new owner could rejuvenate the whole organization. As long as the Lakers stay in LA (I guess that's never gonna be a question) I'm open to that idea. Maybe get some former Lakers involved (Kobe?!) - I'm just throwing around ideas but would be interesting to hear what you guys think.

    The most profitable team in the NBA, and one of the most profitable franchises in all of sports.... Sounds like it's a smart move to sell (said nobody)

    If there's a sale or change in personnel then it happens after the 3 years Jim Buss gave himself to build a contender.

    Nope. The Buss family would be stupid to sell from any prospective.

    1. They're a business at their worst value in maybe forever... Sell low?
    2. Even at their worst they are the most valuable team in the NBA. Sell now?
    3. Three year time frame given before this season. One year in we give up?
