This is sad ;(. The greatest owner in nba history. The question is will the lakers be a joke for the next decade with jim buss running the show? I hope he isnt, but i think he has no basketball knowledge. 50% of lakersnation has to be real -_-. Do u really think phil wants to come to the lakers? After jim buss picked dantoni over him? Only way i see pj being the lakers coach is if jeanie buss tells him lol. I dont really think jim buss is going to fire dantoni bcz hes going to have to pay 3 coa
