ownership has shown they are willing to do what it takes to win. brought stars players, built the facilities, has treated employees extremely well, been outstanding citizens, has not been a distraction, etc. The Buss family, are still, the best owners in sports.

biggest issue thus far this season is lackluster play... now, season is still very very young, we'll see if they can turn it around.


So why would they not sign Caruso using bird rights and then use the mMLE to add a bigger wing player which is still a major hole?

Why would they not offer Dennis a 1 year $10M offer to stay and hopefully have a 6th man or if not a great expiring trade chip that when combined with THT could net something of value?

They're willing to spend within reason which I can't totally fault them for but it's still been detrimental to the team and chanches of another ring.


they've had mistakes. does not mean they are the core problem

when you say core problem, you talk about the Knicks, or the old Dodgers, etc.

year in year out, Buss have not shied away from signing the best players available. they have not been cheap either.

the current ownership has even been better than the 2000s when we just sucked sans Kobe... which drove Kobe insane and demanded a trade. that was with Doc Buss still alive.

so no, ownership has nothing to do with losing this year so far.

Agreed with your point not necessarily the players. This ownership will pay the stars, no questions there, but as for the everything else they are penny pinching, it’s so damn obvious, I’m surprised some fans don’t see it.


The Buss family has been doing this since the ThreePeat era. Kobe, Shaq, and the merry men of minimum. Not wanting to pay Jerry West. Not wanting to pay Phil at the end of his first stint. Releasing much of our athletic training and scouting staff during the lockout season.

It’s garbage ownership but people insist on worshipping it for some reason.
