The agreement was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday and states that Jim and Johnny Buss have agreed that their sister will serve as the controlling owner. The filing ends weeks of uncertainty about control of the Lakers as the franchise tries to put several losing seasons behind it. |

For the rest of her life? That's not fair. They gave Jim and Mitch 3 years to fix the Lakers. Now she has the rest of her life to fix it? May be we should at least give the same 3 years to Magic and Rob? |
thats not how it works. jerry buss left jeanie in charge. that is for as long as the buss family holds the lakers and jeanie is alive. That was always the way the trust was in tact. Jeanie buss was trying to give her father his wish and tried to stick with jim but she could have got rid of him way earlier. ventura is jim buss....i truely believe that....no one could believe in jim buss like him. Hey im not crying for jim....he has alot of money....He can do anything he wants. Now no one is looking over his shoulder. |

In jest I also accused VLF of being Jim. I truly hope that isn't the case because it would add another layer of sadness to the whole situation. |

| Just saying, there's a difference between what Trump does versus criticizing a person for what she did, which was perceived as morally shady by some. |

| I am sure it was posted already, but Jim is still a beneficiary. Trustees just manage the trust. The money generated by the trust goes to the beneficiaries. He is still a beneficiary. Jeanie's lawyer probably had a pretty strong case against him. The lawyers TMZ comments were pretty strong today. |

The lawyer was waaaaaaaaaaaay over the top, IMO, and I like Jeanie.
Who knew TMZ covered non-Kardashian stuff?

Basketball decisions will be made by basketball minds. I wish Mitch were still here. |
This is going to bear close watching to see how the dynamics change. According to Mitch and Jim, and with no substantive evidence from anyone to the contrary, Jim had veto power but never used it, and that meant that Mitch ultimately made the calls either on his own or with Jim's agreement. How much of a collaborative team they were is unknown.
This is going to matter at the draft, since it was mitch and Mitch alone who sifted through the staff analysis and made the picks. There was possibly a lot of consensus on picks, but you gotta think the farther down the draft, the more divergence, and so they are going to have to replace mitch's mastery there. Neither Magic nor Pelinka strikes me as that guy, yet one or both are going to ultimately have to decide, no matter how collaborative they make the process. |
Embolden is why I wish Mitch were still in the FO. He learned from one who I call a master at assessing talent, Jerry West.
We still have a West on staff. He doesn't have his fathers skills. Hopefully he's in contact with him and gets advice from time to time. |
Which is why I want them to give Jerry West a consulting job. Mitch took a gamble selecting Russell over Okafor. I don't think Magic/Pelinka would have done it because the consensus was to take Okafor.
Trade and draft are two things I am worried about with this new front office. People are saying the scouting department hasn't changed so there won't be a problem but ultimately the GM has the final word. There was report saying the scouting department preferred Barbosa but Mitch selected Brian Cook in the end. Mitch has turned it around and has been drafting well in recent years. Pelinka might make that mistake again just because his inexperience. |

He is/was tight with someone high up - not sure if it was Jerry Buss, Jim Buss, Jerry West or just Joe McDonnell, but VLF has knowledge.
I almost NEVER agree with him - like 0.001% - but I hope he's OK. A third of my posts came from arguing with him from 2004-2010. |
He's fine, and I won't discuss it beyond that. |
Will he be back here or is it temporary? |
I am happy to hear he is fine.
i think the timing of his departure just after the Mitch firing, whom I know VLF was a fan of, and Jim Buss situation has got to make you think he really had some ties with one or both of them, or was just a great fan of there's and was upset with what took place...
Either way, hope to see him back.  |
VLF has 0 ties or sources within the Lakers upper management. Almost everything he has claimed as fact has been wrong. Dude used to make Trump like assertions and then claim he never said that even when people quote his posts. |
Oh yeah. He's known for that. Hope his health is all good though.

Per John Ireland, Mitch, not Jim, signed Deng & Moz to those all-time terrible contracts. He should be fired just for that alone. But let's give credit to our scouting department also when it comes to Russell vs Okafor. Ryan West and Jesse Buss has played a role in our drafting. |

We're in concert about a consultant. Look what he did in San Francisco. Jerry's getting a little long in tooth. I don't know if he has the enthusiasm to do the job his once did. His son being on staff he may be willing to teach him as he did Mitch.
I don't know who made the final decision on Oakafor, Russel. I was shocked we didn't take Jahlil. I'm Ol Skool, I think building should start in the middle and front court.
Golden State has changed the game. It's a small man's game right now but I believe it will revert to Ol Skool basketball. Shaq and Duncan type players will once again be focal.
I don't know about the scouting staff. We had a good one. Maybe Magic will rehire some of them.
This year is a wash. I've seen the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. This is the Bad and Ugly combined. I've been a Laker fan since 1960. This is the worse I've seeh.
Irony Then along came Trump.
