LOS ANGELES -- Lakers (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/lal/los-angeles-lakers) president and governor Jeanie Buss made it clear Thursday that the final say, the "final hammer" as Dr. Jerry Buss used to call it, lies with her now.

"I'm the boss," Jeanie Buss said in an hourlong interview on the "Mason and Ireland" show on ESPNLA 710 radio Thursday. "I am responsible ultimately for anything with the team and decisions that are made.

"In my position, I empower people that are in positions to do their jobs. [Executive vice president of player personnel] Jim Buss and [general manager] Mitch Kupchak are responsible for all basketball decisions. They are empowered to do that. My job is to make sure, as a boss, that I provide them the tools to do the job successfully. But it's up to them to make the day-to-day decisions on how they operate their area of the business."

And Lakerfan think she would do better than Fredo? She's a dumb broad on an ego trip, just like her brother.

If they fail miserably ...
Someone else will step in eventually.
Our fans are neither patient nor forgiving ... I am a rare breed.
I know D'antoni sucks and Jimbo makes me nervous but a West/Riley combo was not fixing the current mess ...maybe they never let it get this bad ...but no one could fix this season.

Though without her brother we're light a back-to-back.

What does the fan's patience have to do with anything? They own the team there's nothing anybody can do about it

Supposedly she turned over control of team decisions to Baby Buss, else there'd be a conflict of interest since she's now engaged to Phil Jackson who's the president for the Knicks.
