If she gotten her way phil would have been head coach and shyt would be different.
it was jim who fired everybody who had any affiliation with phil Jackson, people who been there for years.
it was Jim who hired fukking Mike Brown when players wanted brian shaw, ain't even run it by the best player on the team.
it was Jim who had phil ready to take the job then hired fukking dantoni in the middle of the night. had mitch out there looking stupid, saying dumb shyt he ain't believe in.
Jeanie ain't innocent but it's mostly Jim's fault the Lakers are where they are today.

That was Jeanie spin. Most of the people fired had absolutely nothing to do with Phil. He probably didn't even know their names.
The only anti Phil move was not hiring Brian Shaw as head coach. But it was because he sucks.
I was wondering if the brothers were pissed off at all this sh*t going down. The media tried to cover them up in a bottle and gave them no air time whatsoever in the matter. Jeannie Buss and Magic's comeback was too good of a story for all the sports outlets to have the Buss brothers fukk it all up. I knew they weren't going to let this slide. If they were to somehow get in control of the team again Magic's reign on the top will be short like leprechauns
shyt would be different. he probably woulda been decent with that lakers roster. and that's just one thing.
them mike hires are big deals. dude gave no fukks about the players, the fans, etc. nikka just did what he wanted to do.

Yall thought Jim was going down without a fight? He still a majority owner of the team.

From what I heard the straw that broke the 
back was them 
a trade for cousins and keeping it from Jeanie.

Nobody wanted to play with him, his bloated ass contract didn't give the Lakers many options, and you could argue Byron Scott being so fixated on him stunted the young players' growth. The Lakers were actively worse with him on the court his last 2 seasons. Not that they were any good anyway, but he was dragging them down even lower. Especially in the '14/15 season where he was gunning and chasing Kareem's scoring record.

Pretty much everyone involved in that situation has said the decision to hire D'Antoni was made by Jerry Buss. Jerry Buss LOVED showtime and thought that reuniting Steve Nash and D'Antoni would spark a showtime revival. Jim defintiely could have pushed back more and hired Phil, but Jim hates Phil and understandably so. Phil has a tendency to belittle people wherever he goes.
For the record my biggest issue with Jim Buss has been his coaching hires. Some of the roster moves they made were terrible, some of them were great, but the coaching hires have been consistently terrible until they hired Luke.
It was time for Jim Buss to go, I just didn't like how Jeanie and Magic went about it and I REALLY don't like how people are glossing over what Jeanie has been doing over the years.
The crazy thing is they were initially working well together. Jim stayed in his lane and Jeanie stayed in hers. It wasn't until offered the coaching job to Phil before reneging and the death of Dr Buss that shyt started to get really petty between the two.

Sank a long time before he left.
Hell, they weren't shyt for 3 years after Shaq left either.

Wrong. It shows you the value of Dr. Buss.
