Jim and Jeanie Buss disagree on his deadline to step down from Lakers

[Koolaid_Man]

This is not going to end well....and what will this mean for Chazzz...the bartender or mixologist turned Pro Scout for Laker basketball :lmao


if this doesn’t work in three to four years, if we’re not back on the top — and the definition of top means contending for the Western Conference, contending for a championship — then I will step down because that means I have failed - Jimbo


Sam Amick of USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/longform/sports/nba/lakers/2015/10/19/jim-buss-lakers-jerry-west-kobe-bryant-magic-johnson-jeanie-buss/73989030/):
When pressed on the matter of when the deadline date will be, Jim said, “Two more full seasons, a summer of change and then let that season go. Whatever happens in that third season, that’s fine. I have no problem with that. I think we’re that close.”

Yet Jeanie, the Lakers president, told USA TODAY Sports that she was perplexed by that characterization of the timeline.

“He has given me a timeline, and I have no reason to think that they won’t have a competitive team by the deadline,” Jeanie said.

That deadline, she was asked, is the end of the 2016-17 season?

“Yes,” she said. “Not this season, but the end of next season, which will be the summer of 2017.”




Jimbo should have never opened his mouth on a timeline..but then again glad he did..he's proven to be a blabbering idiot making such a declaration from the start....

The worst part is the way they both pander to Media. It's akin to the way the Browns pander to Media with Manziel. They have no confidence in the situation, no self confidence, so they go to the initial source looking for "understanding" and tell them everything.

It's a great American tragedy.

Jeanie could perhaps be even dumber.. She is clearly undermining his brother ... how sickening is that?

& he, she and Media pretend it isn't happening. I can understand Media---they're rats, soulless vermin, but, for these two to carry on like they're doing is just unconscionable.

The DeBartolo children destroyed the 49'ers in a similar bent, but, at least they kept it within the walls of DeBartolo. And sure Media respected that blood feud and left them to their own devices & ruination. Media will not afford us that dignity and the Buss children have none.

It's not a tragedy. St Jude patients, that's a tragedy. Stop misusing terms to try to sound poetic.

I knew your, or, someone else's stupid ass would make this point. I was going to cite,,,"it's not life or death, but, it is a great American tragedy." But, for some fuckin' reason I thought your, or, someone else's stupid ass would rise above it.

I was mistaken.

Some men, just want to watch the Laker world burn.

[baseline bum]

I hope Jeannie takes over this summer so she can convince Snitch to sign. 48.5 was great the first time, why not do it all over again?

You were trying to wax poetic and I caught you, red handed, and shut you down in the paint.

So your "shits" shtick didn't catch on, now you're pushing another one with this "stupid ass" attempt. By chance did you work in marketing? You seem to float different shticks on the regular so see what catches.

Tragedy isn't a word you can use at your leisure. You did and I corrected you. Move on.

You weren't in favor of 48.5? I thought it was great.

Those two are the best part of the Lakers. They are an albatross of the order of Jerry Jones or George Steinbrenner. Only chance LA has is for Silver to step in and force a Colangelo type hire like he did in Philly. Lakers have too many lawyers for that to happen though.

Good times are in store after 48.5.

I'll tell you what, I ain't doin' this shit. I'll be in the Reading Room. If you win it, I'll be back. Otherwise, I won't.

He's trying to expand his "Cub-isms" so other people can use his terminology, however asinine it may be.
Don't get me wrong Thread- you're a semi-good creative writer. I could make something of you, given the chance, but...

This stuff from him, in short, are his personal social experiments that he can lord over everyone when it works.
I thought you already knew that.

Edit: I reread your post and I basically retyped what you posted, just... differently.
My apologies.

I thought you were a fan of 48.5. I have enjoyed it.
