The Buss family is very similar to the Spanos family of the San Diego Chargers. Each has involved all the offspring in the organization in roles that many are not qualified for and it doesn't work.
There is no reason to do this with team valuations as they are in the modern era. Be the owner, make your money but outsource the basketball/football decisions to those qualified to make them.
We don't need Buss' in the scouting department or in pseudo GM roles just like the Chargers don't need the Spanos' in player evaluation and head of football ops roles.
It is an ego thing these owners do for their kids who cannot do any real jobs in the world. How about just having them focus on charitable foundations and such and actually use their skills to good use? Having Jim Buss or Jesse Buss in basketball roles is ridiculous, sorry to say. |
That's a very rational, supportable take that I respect. I do, however, feel like that option isn't available. It is either a collaborative model under Jim, or hand it over to Phil. And if it is Phil, it is the one gap triangle.
That's where bud fits for me. I have no problem with the talent evaluation (hence no need to toss Jesse) or transactional capability. I have respect for Jim pushing for analytics and Mitch coming along as well, it's just that they don't have experience with how to arrange it and translate it. Bud gives you all of that, and solves the coaching issue as well. And he can tell a free agent with great detail what the plan is on the floor. Mitch is quite amenable to working with coaching needs, and I think Jim won't Bigfoot them. Win win win. |

Oh what does he do? Head coach of the Hawks yeah good luck stealing him away.

Reminds me of the 1995-1996 offseason when we had a legend retire.
We drafted a future superstar who was too raw for the NBA at the time.
We acquired a big name free agent in the off season.
Hopefully #2 comes to fruition.....  |

Time. Lakers don't have enough draft picks to really build that way and they don't have enough talent to attract to tier free agents.
It's going to be 2020s before they even get close to fielding a championship team. |

The last time they had to rebuild it took about 8-9 years to field a championship team. So 2019, 2020 is in line with that.

People forget that west had 4 rings in 19 years in LA, and 3 were in the first six years with the last guy's stars. Mitch got 4 in 10 with the last guy's stars. He's now just under halfway into the period of time it took west to get his 4th and his first with his own complete build. West never fell to this low a low point, but he didn't have the current cba either, and he went through some pretty awful coaches too.

Since the Pop connection is being discussed; how about Ime Udoka. He's young and has a nice resume' too. |

Sorry, that sounded wrong. I meant I don't know too much about him as a coach.

Top 2016 Offseason Priorities for the Los Angeles Lakers
| Quote: | It was a historic night in the team’s historically bad season.
And now it’s time to look ahead to L.A.’s top offseason priorities.
There will be a top-three draft pick to choose, should the Lakers survive the bouncing lottery balls. The team also has boatloads of cash to spend in free agency.
And then there’s the question of what to do about Byron Scott, a stubborn old-school coach whose 38-126 record during his two-year tenure doesn’t serve as any kind of guiding light for a better tomorrow.

Fire Byron.
Apparently JVG is meeting with teams for a coaching job, I'd try to get him. If not JVG, then go for Luke or Thibs.
Pray Durant wants the Laker throne, if not go for DD and Whiteside.
Retain JC and Black.
Hope someone values Lou or keep him, don't really mind.
Unfortunately, because I like him, we have to get rid of Swaggy - I wonder if there's a package out there that we could get something good back.
Sign Ingram or Simmons, if we get the third pick I'd try to trade it ( a big package with Swaggy, Lou, and the #3 might net us something good, maybe Butler? ) |

IO is a bit of a mystery man but he has a nice resume' having played and coached internationally plus his years working in a winning culture in SA.
We know too that he can recruit having been an ex-NBA player himself (see LMA). Due to his work ethic he would be a great role model for the young players.
He also played in the D-League and was once called up by the Lakers in 2004!
He is a proponent of the Spur's ICE defensive philosophy. Don't know much about his offensive philosophy though (probably similar to what SA runs).
He lives in LA but beyond that I don't know much else about him except that he's married to the actress Nia Long (which is a good thing) .

I bet the idiot Buss kids would rather stick with Mr. Showtime over getting someone associated with Popovich and the Spurs.

That would be a shame and a mistake not to at least give them all a look. But it wouldn't be the first blunder the FO has made in recent memory.  |

we let our youth/talent go for that team also.. NVExel, EJones, Divac (d'an, jc and randle?)
which youngin(s) are on their way out is what's interesting for me right now.

Ok, so that's not that difficult imo:
hire Luke Walton as head coach,
sign Derozan, Bazemore and Byombo/Maihmi this offseason, draft ingram, simmons or trade the pick
bring Durant or Westbrook next year.
Profit, reap the benefits, celebrate championships.
Pretty straightforward to me |

The last few years feel like they've just been Jim and Kupchak throwing crap against the wall to see what sticks. Have a half court team with Kobe Dwight and Pau, hire MDA. Have a group of guys suited to playing uptempo, hire Scott. |
Amen to that |

Lakers: 5 Biggest 2016 Offseason Needs
| Quote: | | Rebuilding as a whole is obviously a lengthy process that requires a level of patience and a great deal of time. However, that doesn’t change the fact that the 2016 NBA offseason is absolutely pivotal to the future success of the Lakers. There’s so much that they absolutely must accomplish this offseason if they want to get back to their winning way sooner rather than later. |

We drafted a future superstar who was too raw for the NBA at the time.
We acquired a big name free agent in the off season.
Hopefully #2 comes to fruition..... |
Let's hope lightning strikes twice! |
or third time! Magic groomed Shaq and Dwight for us, maybe it's time for them to hand over Vucevic |
