1. So it begins.

2. This Buss is moving on, with or without you

3. That was quick

4. Jeanie is being pushed out soon too. You don’t buy something and then let the old owner run it

5. Kurt Rambis and his wife are the last ones standing

6. Time to spruce up the resume, I could use a career change

7. They’re the only competent Buss kids so that sucks

   They’re always finding the hidden gems in and out of the draft process

8. “We wish things could be different with the way our time ended with the team. At times like this we wish we could ask our Dad what he would think about it all.” Damn Jeanie your brothers hate you girl

9. Was this expected or is this a surprise to the Buss’s after the sale?

10. I mean, they had to know this was coming.  Those were nepotism positions that will be given to their new owners friends and family.

11. Jesus lol, honestly they seem like the most blameless of all the Busses

12. Hire Nico Harrison.

13. does this hint which of the Buss kids deciding to vote to sell?

    it was 4:2 right? and Jeanie did vote to sell

14. They were actually good at their jobs, especially Jesse. Damn

15. RIP Kendall and Roman

16. Oh no what will we do without another JHS?

17. Effective immediately is spicy

18. The insiders keep referencing big Buss family drama during the sale but no one has written the expose yet. Someone just say it!

19. Well that’s definitely the 2/6 that objected to the sale lol

20. Damn they were my favorite characters on Running Point

21. What? They were some of the best parts of

22. Honestly good. Thanks for the gems earlier on but it’s time this team got a proper back room going

23. Effective immediately. That’s interesting.

24. What they seemed like the most competent in there. They’ve found some real diamonds in the rough.

25. Judy & Kelvin too?

26. The dawn of private equity NBA is among us. Soon we will have MBA’s showing us power point presentations on ESPN. 

27. Could this have anything to do with the ongoing gambling investigations? Seems odd otherwise, no?

28. The Rambis’s next to get the boot
