Lakers owner/governor Jeanie Buss gave a rare interview with Bill Plaschke of the LA Times. She covered a lot of ground, starting with her frustration around this season's big, bold and ultimately wasted investments, and growing impatience with the direction the team has been trending. Buss also discussed accountability, putting herself at the top of the decision tree and noting she'd be willing to make whatever tough decisions are required going forward.
And there was much discussion of other branches on that tree, from GM Rob Pelinka to special hoops advisor Kurt Rambis to... whatever Linda Rambis is. Buss says that Linda Rambis isn't involved in basketball operations, but also didn't really clarify exactly what she is doing, either.
So in the end, did the interview make you feel better about the team than you did Tuesday morning?
HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
SEGMENT 1: Jeanie Buss speaks with the LA Times. This, in itself, is worth talking about. She hasn't communicated much with Lakers fans directly or through the media, and it hasn't helped the franchise.
SEGMENT 2: What does accountability mean? Would Buss be willing to fire Pelinka if needed? What about Kurt Rambis?
SEGMENT 3: What's the deal with Linda?
