…meddlesome, delusional owner (hey, if daddy sanctions it... :manny: ) who insists on doing things his way to the detriment of his organization:

”We still like this team a lot," Buss said Thursday in an interview with ESPNLA 710 radio in Los Angeles. "How can you not believe in this team? This team is built to win. It's a very, very solid team. We haven't seen them all together and play together for games. In my mind, we would not consider a temporary fix or blow it up. Why blow up something we have a future with?

"It's very difficult to talk this way because we're five games under or six games under .500, and we've dug ourselves a hole. But at the same time, I feel that if we put it together, we can string seven or eight games in a row and dig ourselves out of this hole. If we play with the energy we've seen in the last two games, then I think you go into the playoffs with momentum."

Mike brown is somewhere laughing

Should have thrown that 11-12 mill at Phil with like 1 percent ownership

Lol at giving up 101 points a game

Only 9 teams in the nba have a worse record than the lakers

I think he still wants to sell tickets.

Remember there payroll including the tax is fukking insane. Ticket sells helps them offset it. Without that they are fukked longterm

This assumes that Lakers fans are STUPID enough to be assuaged by his lip service as opposed to believing their own eyes and the product they’re seeing on the court.

You can’t sell tickets off a faulty premise.

Sounds like a business man who realizes that he made a bad deal.

....sounds like an egoist who felt threatened by Phil Jackson's presence and did what he could to usurp the love that Phil was getting by summarily dismissing him after saying they'd get back to him in a few days.

Again, not sure why Lakers fans haven't been LOUDLY calling for this cat's head.

Lakers fans ARE that stupid to believe him, but smart enough to know better than to believe him. If that makes any sense:yeshrug: They have pieces to win but it's not ALL Buss' fault they aren't winning, they should be winning w/o Phil. I hate the LA:flabbynsick:s but I'm starting to feel a lil sorry for them because they are messing up the classic playoff games that I was expecting to unfold in May/June:beli:

The Lakers will continue to sell tickets no matter what, the most they will do is boo or chant "We want Phil" during blow outs.

Oh, they'll damn sure sell tickets because of who they are....but I don't know of ANY fanbase loyal enough to continue to support a losing product.

Lookit the Eagles. Near the end of the season the Linc was EMPTY....that NEVER happens here.

As long as Old Man Mamba keeps living out his Jordan fantasy the place will be packed and Buss knows this.

:usure:

yea there are rumors that Jim Buss was having doubts about hiring D'Antoni but his dad forced him to hire D'Antoni.

The moment they chose excitement over championships, you knew that it wasn't going to end well :beli:


how you going to build your offense centered around your 3rd or 4th best player?? Kobe can't play defense like he used to and Nash just can't play defense period. Lakers needed to signed a combo guard that could defend and shoot from the perimeter. But they went after 39yr old Nash. :snoop:

You won't find one Jim Buss supporter on this site. We all know he's been a debacle and can't stand him.

When will people stop believing Laker fans a) like Jim Buss and b) wanted D'Antoni?

So what if we want to see Kobe play in his last 3 years, that's by no means an affirmation of the decisions the f.o. makes.
