Magic goes HAM on Jim Buss

[ElNono]

Magic Johnson says Lakers problems lie with Jim Buss

“This is what happens when you make the wrong decisions, two coaching wrong decisions, giving Steve Nash that deal, it’s backfired,” Johnson said during a meeting at The Times between Dodgers officials and Times writers and editors. Johnson is a part owner of the Dodgers.

“The biggest problem they’re going to have right now … you’ve got to get a guy like Jerry West to be the face of the team. ...

“You’ve got to have someone helping Jim. He’s got to quit trying to prove a point to everybody that he can do it on his own, get his ego out of it, and just say, ‘Let me get someone beside me to help achieve the goals I want.' "
Johnson acknowledged that getting West to return would be difficult, but added that having an empowered person in the general manager's role is critical. “You need to get someone like Jerry to be the face, so agents are comfortable, players are comfortable, knowing the Lakers are going for a championship….

“Look what Pat Riley did in Miami,” referring to the former Lakers coach who assembled the current team featuring LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
“If Pat Riley’s not there, you don’t get LeBron to buy in.”

Johnson said that current Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak is doing a good job. “Mitch is great,” he said, “but he doesn’t have the power.”

Johnson also added, “Everybody’s telling me free agents don’t want to sign [with the Lakers]…. They’re looking at the Lakers now as a team that’s dysfunctional; who’s their leader, who’s the guy?”

“Dr. Buss was smart,” Johnson said. “He said, ‘I’m going to get the best dude, Jerry West, and he helped me achieve my goals. Then I went and got the best coach [in Phil Jackson]. He wanted to work with the best.”

Jimmy tried trading Bynum and Odom for Garnett, McHale accepts and there is no ring

Jimmy tried to trade Marc Gasol for cash considerations. Trade goes through, no Pau, no ring.
:lol Fredo

Pie in the sky. You cherry pick one thing about Jimmy that he wasn't even responsible for. Why ignore the rest? Why not tell the bad?

False yet again. How did the team perform when Pau played badly in the playoffs?

I'm not answering your questions today, dj. No.

You're mad because what happened (back then) has reared it's head and you & the boys are left holding the shit sandwich. Chow!

So you won't acknowledge how Bynum averaged 6 points and 4 rebounds in the 09 Finals, and 7 points and 5 rebounds in the 10 Finals. Want to know his playoff averages? Wanna know Pau's stats?

He ain't without sin...while Kobe was raping & rehabbing his mind the old man was snoozing, pissin' away several years. Not until Kobe grabbed up the ball peen hammer and a blow torch and rappelled up the side of Staples did Jerry get up off his own Lazy Boy and come a runnin'.

Jim was busy firing Phil and Hiring Rudy T for Christ sake. Making Kobe want to leave.

You won't acknowledge Bynum shooting 36% and 45% from the floor in those series? And how those are terrible shooting percentages for a 7 footer?

& yet without Jerry, you've The Achilles, The Sweep, The Begging, The Rejection, and now The Tank... what's next, The Contraction? :lol

So in other words when the old man does something wrong it's his son's fault and when Jim does something right it's a lie.

You can't lose. Just like if the Lakers win a game:::"you" bust their ass for fucking up their Lottery position. If they lose, you make fun of 'em. It's a great setup for chickenshits.

You hold onto those. I'm sticking with the 2 NBA World Titles we wouldn't have if it weren't for Jim Buss' vision & insistence.

You can thank Fredo and Kirby for that.... if it wasn't for them, you wouldn't be reduced to tanking :lol

he donated to AIDS patients to help them combat the virus because there're massive antiviruses in his blood. Magic has been cured of AIDS already, tbh.
