If you could were having lunch with Jim Buss, and he said you can ask him from 1-3 questions, Lakers related. What would you ask him?

In before the lock.

1. What dont you leave the business of being a GM to real basketball minds?
2. What will you do after you are removed from your role as VP of operations.
3. Do you really feel that hou have "basketball in your blood" as you have said before, and does that mean no one is more qualified to run this franchise than you.

I would want him to explain why he did not tell Jerry West several years ago that he would support him to be general manager for the Lakers for as long as he wanted it.

Why wouldn't you do everything to guarantee yourself getting the top five pick?

1. What's the plan this summer?
2. How do you handle all this ridiculous criticism you get?
3. How painful is it for you to watch the way the team has fallen from glory and how long do you think it'll be for them to return?

1. If you could get any free agents that have never been all-star, who would they be and why?

2. If you could have any coach, who would it be and why?

3. Do you ever browse LG?

1. Free agency or draft picks; do you prefer rebuilding with one over the other?
2. Good Scotch; mind buying us a fifth round?
3. If you go online, how do you deal with false assumptions and negativity from the loudest and least-informed fans?

You had Kobe still playing at a high level, you had D12, Gasol. Why did you hire MDA?
Why did you have Mitch call Phil in the middle of the night. Why not wait till the next day?

lakerglory · Posted: Sun Apr 26, 2015 10:09 am Post subject:

1. Do the Lakers truly have a sense of direction?
2. What is your true deadline to turn things around?
3. Will you offer KB24 a new deal after his current expires?

Do you realize that a lot of the reason so many fans don't like you or have confidence in you is that since you were essentially given the franchise as a birth right and not because you won it in a fair and open competition, don't you think you'd do better with them by at least looking the part instead of dressing the way you do?

I'd ask him how the impending cap increase changes their approach this offseason.

kikanga · Posted: Sun Apr 26, 2015 9:38 pm Post subject:

1) If you had a better relationship with Jeanie would you have called her before finalizing the CP3 trade?
2) When did you realize we weren't gonna keep Dwight?
3) Why was Mike D'Antoni the best fit for our team when he was hired?

I won't ask him any questions. I will just advice him to sell the team to the highest bidder and cash out now when he has the chance.
