How Buss family infighting drove the $10B sale of the Lakers
The post-Jerry Buss era was defined by resentment, dysfunction and conflict -- and ended with the loss of the most valuable family-owned franchise in the world.
LeBron James on his relationship with Jeanie Buss: 'I thought it was good. But, you know, somebody could see it another way.'
James commented for the first time since an ESPN report featured Buss souring on James' power within the franchise and took a dim view of the superstar's perceived ingratitude for drafting his son.

UGH. Cut the cord already. Use the money it costs to pay him to get some younger talent on the team. Add some more defensive-minded players. Get rid of Bronny. This is part of the problem with having super rich ownership. You'll allow stuff like this to go on and on for years rather than tightening things up and actually try to win titles, especially with a prime Luka on the roster.
LFG !!

He's taking that All-Star thing where players pick their teams seriously, eh?
I guess he could at least have a place for Bronny to play indefinitely.
