| Dr. Jerry Buss (L) and son, Jim Buss (R). |
The Los Angeles Lakers have had their share of problems in this fast-paced, shortened NBA season, but NBA insiders know that the team’s issues are far from just on-court problems.
No, L.A.
The younger Buss has clearly made some head-scratching moves since taking over more of the day-to-day operations from his 78-year-old dad, but clearly, he’s no chip off the old block.
The open-minded communication that once flowed freely through the Lakers front office has been replaces by more silence and cyncism than anything else – and the team’s on-court play has suffered because of it.
Recent reports say that Kobe Bryant is no fan of the younger Buss – and that feeling is shared by many in the Lakers’ organization. Unfortunately, when you’re the son of a legendary NBA owner – and one that was born into inheriting the family business – then there’s no way out of this problem for the Lakers now – and likely – no time soon.
What do you think about Jim Buss? Can the ‘son’ ever match the ‘father’s success?’
Leave your thoughts in the comments section and have a great day!
Didn't you just write a post stating that the "Lakers pull off top trade"?! Make up your mind! Seriously, you posted these two within minutes of each other! How do you write one for and one against?! You know Jim was involved in that "brilliant" trade, right? (which I agree with) You know what they say about people arguing with themselves....
ReplyDeleteDad probably teaching the kid one last good move.
ReplyDeleteJust sign A.B. to his extension now to boost his morale and treat Pau with some respect. The best two big-man duo in years. Kobe and Sessions will happen just in time to win the championship with the big fellas.
ReplyDeleteNO......NO......NO
ReplyDeletefunny that as soon as the "big fella" is signed to a contract extentsion he checks out off the game that night by crying and acting like a "big baby". Oh I forgot he's that great draft pick of jerry's little boy jimmey.
ReplyDeleteAnd hats off to a writer who can report without kiss-assing jimmeys.
