They already crumbled in the semis. Buss is just smoking the ashes.
Hire Mike Brown as Head Coach - Check
Let Jerry Buss' son take over - Check
Declare Andrew Bynum as "Untouchable" - Check
Failed to get Dwight Howard - In Progress
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_yl...s_lakers052511The idea that Kobe Bryant(notes) would’ve ever called LeBron James(notes) for a confidential scouting report on Mike Brown is sheer fantasy. They don’t share much of a relationship, and even less a common interest in fortifying each other with the best possible coach for a championship chase.
Why would they trust each other’s referrals? James wants the Los Angeles Lakers to fail, just as Bryant does the Miami Heat.For Bryant, there was never time to consider Brown’s candidacy as Lakers coach because sources close to him say that he was never asked about the candidates to replace Phil Jackson. The Buss family promised they would proceed this way, without the consultation of the most important person in the franchise
Yet, Jerry Buss is turning these Lakers over to Jim, and that’s the reason sources say he conducted the search with his father and general manager Mitch Kupchak assisting him. Now, Jim Buss has two guys in the franchise: Brown and Andrew Bynum(notes). In fact, Buss has made something clear within the Lakers, sources say: Bynum is untouchable in trade talks.
For now, this could include a sign-and-deal for the Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard(notes). The Lakers are Howard’s preference, but they don’t have salary cap space to sign him. They’ll need a deal that includes Bynum to the Magic, but there are those seriously doubting Jim Buss’ desire to make such a trade. After all, Bynum was Jim Buss’ discovery, his pet project and believes Bynum will ultimately resonate as the son’s personal Lakers legacy.

Meh
Buss Senior and Buss Jr
What is the difference anyway?
I think it was under Buss Senior that they hired Rudy T after Phil took a break
Junior will just execute what Senior ill tell him to do
Bynum is untouchable even if you can get Howard in return? Yikes.
Rudy T was hired by Jim Buss after he had a feud with Phil Jackson then fired him.
Jim's pet project Bynum was a great pick, an impact player. Well literally too.
Another WoJ hack job and his lemmings falling for it.
