Can't wait to hear Jeanie & Byron's perfectly measured and reasonable thoughts about what went wrong with the Lakers as well as the current direction of the franchise!

Yep!

EDIT: Just to clarify, "decline of the Lakers" could be the description of the special, may not be the title. Just judging from the tweet Either way, that appears to be the subject matter.

2ND EDIT: Confirmed that "decline of the Lakers" is a description for the special, it's not the name. I don't know what the name of it is at this time. I updated the title to reflect this!






What fresh hell is this

ESPN senses the Lakers are on the rise and will milk every possible "LAKERS IN DECLINE" narrative that's possible. Gotta pluck that low hanging fruit before it's gone!

Nice well rounded panel they chose there.

I don't understand why ESPN is bleeding subscribers.

That she is participating in this tells you everything you need to know about her.

No matter who you support or don't support in the organization, you have to admit that no one in the Lakers organization should be willingly involved in something titled The Decline of the Lakers.

The title in itself sounds like a set up to make the Lakers look bad, the title should be more like "The rebuilding Lakers".

Now surprised, this is the same Jeanie Buss that greenlit Lamar Odom to appear on that Kartrashian show.

Nah, that's not enough doom and gloom for ratings. I get that it's a play on The Decline of Western Civilization. When you've got Matt Barnes and Byron Scott on the panel, they could've easily gone with any of the 100 disaster movie titles in the last century.

Hope the players don't get too attached to playing a Warriors-inspired system.

Ugh. Screw this. We all know where this is heading.

What in the hell is she doing???

I though we turned that corner and are on the same page when she was very supportive of this rebuilding on last interview. hmmm...

Well...I just hope she is there to defend the lakers, not 'it's all Jim's fault' narratives.

I also addressed in an edit I just added to the original post that could be the description of whatever the special is. The tweet is slightly up to interpretation there. It read like the title to me. If someone can get confirmation on what the title is, I'll update this appropriately.

Need more information before I throw Jeanie under the Buss.
I'm not a believer of the "Jeanie Buss = Machiavelli" conspiracy theory.

Maybe they asked her to do an interview. But she didn't know what the piece would be called, or what parts of the interview they were gonna use (good or bad).
Maybe they told her exactly what the piece would be about and already had their interviews from Scott and Barnes. And Jeanie wanted to respond to the negative criticism in the piece. Like an immediate rebuttal sort of thing.

This is a great point and I want to believe that she'll actually stick up for the franchise and the rebuild. I just have some worries because of how tone deaf she's come across in past interviews, and how she's held Jim to his personal deadline as well. So we'll have to see.

Also confirming that "decline of the Lakers" is the description of the special, not the name! I updated the title to reflect this. My pitchfork is standing by, but it's not raised yet.

Right. ESPN is BS no doubt. But we don't know yet what she said or didn't say or what her interview is about or anything so I'm not worried about her just yet. But just ESPN even making this whatever it is is just so typically ESPN.
