Give players control of moves
Publicly blame those players

Not a good look

No. She’s commenting on roster decisions. She’s not comparing the 12th man on the bench’s influence to Kobe’s. We know it’s about LeBron and his influence but the LeBron fans are being defensive about it without knowing what’s really going on.


Who is defending LeBron, you are so on hating on LeBron, that you think everyone else is invested in a same thing, which we aren't, we are talking about Jeanie here and her being stupid. As you said, fans don't even know what is really going on, but fans like you still act that every management failure of LeBron's team is his fault. Your posts are just ironic and so full of Kobe delusionist insecurity. I am Kobe fan, but Kobe delusionists is adifferent group entirely, that will reach on anything to diminish player who is ranked above Kobe at a time.

I think she just honestly misses Kobe.

This tweet is clearly about LeBron, and LeBron fans are getting defensive without actually knowing what’s going on and attacking her character. That’s exactly what’s going on.

The truth is, Jeanie Buss is NOT the greatest Buss owner ever. Jerry Buss was a much better owner and administrator, and that allowed Magic and Kobe to work their magic and contribute the franchise's greatness in a very good environment.

Jeanie is just having a tantrum and pointing the finger at everyone and everything except where it needs to be pointed. She is the first one that needs to do a much better job. Don't bitch and moan about this or that player making too much money and not delivering -which is what she's doing here in a passive aggressive way-, when you're the one who greenlit the contract/trade in the first place. And if you weren't, again do a better job and be that person.

Where does the buck stop again?


Yeah it’s absolutely not a stretch to say Jeanie isn’t Jerry and she shouldn’t be. She should be able to forge her own legacy in this current salary cap era. I agree the buck should stop with her but this is what happens with you make a deal with the devil of Lebron and Klutch sports. Eventually the bill comes due. But Lakers cant really blame anyone but themselves

An owner subtweeting her best player, a player who delivered you a ring less than two years ago, because he wants the organization to make win now moves is the dumbest **** in the world. It demonstrates her sheer incompetence. She’s a silver spoon baby who is completely clueless when it comes to running a winning organization.

Even if this is true it doesn’t make it any less embarrassing to publicly announce it lol that’s the point here. It just shows what kind of dumpster fire is being run.

You gonna go date the girl who is trashing her current bf on Twitter while glorifying her ex? Lemme know how that works for you man :lol:

That’s a nonsensical comparison. This is pro sports, an entertainment business. People go running to woj and shams whenever they break inside news.


I don’t even know what you’re talking about anymore.

Either way, original point is you clearly think she’s talking about Lebron which may be very true. Original point again, which stars would want to sign if she’s airing out what she’s doing. Bad look.

You have yet to address this point but instead keep moving the goalposts about what the fans think. This isn’t about that :lol: of course you love that she’s talking good about Kobe but that’s not what anyone else is talking about here

How many superstars did they recruit during free agency between shaq’s signing and LeBron’s?

Using Kobe to subtweet the best player on the team is nasty. Also the wild revisionist history to paint Kobe as the shining example of team over self. Just bizarre stuff all around.

No, people find here tweet : 1. inappropriate for an owner, cause yes, hidden message is clear. 2. It is not even accurate describtion of Kobe. Just because people call out this tweet for that, it doesnt mean they defend LeBron. Its you, who goes out of the way to vindicate your anti LeBron views and you accuse people who call you out for the very thing only you here are doing. No one is reaching or defending anyone except you. Now if I said Erick Snow was crap starting PG, you will say I defending LeBron again... You are a silly man.

Cheap owner who happened to luck into a great media market. Only slightly better than the previous Clippers owner.

Yeah, romanticized revisionist history and nothing more. Kobe pushed quite a few talented players just because he didnt like them, Shaq, Bynum, Howard. This is just stupid debate. He had his own super team fiasco, but now hes dead so people act he had no bad moments.


Naw people just like to hate on Kobe and refuse to take in context. Kobe was always about winning and wasn’t like this weak era when everyone wants to play with their friends and are afraid to be leaders.

Kobe demanded a trade because he was carrying a garbage roster to the playoffs. The equivalent of the year’s Houston Rockets without any of the young talent. If you have an all time great player you don’t surround him with garbage and Kobe made the trade demand to force the organization to act and he was eventually talked down and lead the Lakers to one of the top records in the West even before the Gasol trade. He also wanted to ship out Bynum for J Kidd because again he wants to be in the position to win (notice this isn’t the same thing as stacking teams). Bynum flamed out of the NBA after he left the Lakers. Same reason Kobe didn’t get along with Dwight, Dwight wasn’t a serious player committed to winning and didn’t win a championship until he became a role player.

And despite what Realgm believes, Kobe was a brilliant basketball mind and fully understood the commitment required to win a ship. Getting that perspective is invaluable for any NBA decision maker.

No, not people. LeBron fans are the ones attacking her character. Important distinction.

I prefer LeParasite. He's like locusts. Once he comes to your team, you can expect to rebuild for several years once he leaves with little draft capital left.

Sorry but Jeanie trying to paint Kobe as some saint is kind of hilarious. Kobe was as much of a diva as some of todays stars and tried to kick and scream his way off the lakers in 2007.
