Jimmy Buss and his Masterplan
Posted: Fri May 27, 2011 6:16 pm
With the hiring of Mike Brown it seems Jimmy Buss has put his name on the front pages again and i dont think he likes what he's been hearing.
He has stayed pretty quiet and seems to like it that way but when daddy gives you the reins to running one of the most successful sports franchises in history your never going to be able to make everyone happy and your never going to be able to hide from the Los Angeles sports media.
With a lock out seeming more and more likely what better time to clean house. It can be done right now and simply look like measures are being taken to cut cost's just like every other team might be doing.
Longtime assistant GM Ronnie Lester was told his contract would not be renewed and it's been reported that Ronnie was looked at as a Jerry West holdover having never really embraced Jimmy calling shots. Is Mitch the next to go? I would say it depends on where his loyalties lie plain and simple.
With Kobe slowing down and staying as hotheaded as ever he does not seem ready to hand the on court reins over to Bynum who happens to have a huge cheerleader in Jimmy Buss. I wonder how Jimmy feels about Kobe standing in the way of Bynum taking the team to re-newed highs which would validate the choice to take Bynum in the draft and many vetoes by Jimmy to trade Bynum in the past.
The hiring of Brown to me seems like a way for Jimmy to show the world that this team is now his and perhaps Kobe does not like the hire but what can he do but shut up and play or perhaps......just perhaps part of the plan was to piss Kobe off and have Kobe request to be traded? Well Kobe does have a no trade clause so he cant be traded unless it's his idea.
When Kobe was asked how he felt about the hiring of Brown "No comment" was his reply
If it had been Coach K or BShaw do you think his reply would have been "No Comment"?
Once Kobe is gone this really becomes Jimmy's team and i feel that is all part of the Master Plan!
