He’s not a knee jerk reaction kinda guy.
It’s not a matter of if, only when
Im really hoping she goes away. She can ride off into the sunset with her bestie
They about to change so many rules in baseball because of how big of a winner this dude is😂 Couldn’t be happier for my Lakers. Changes are definitely coming.
i have no doubt he is going to replace rob pelinka too
Do you guys believe the stuff Perez Hilton writes too?
I believe the deal made (agreed upon) was for her to remain for additional yrs. If not, get these dunderheads outta here!
I hope it’s sooner rather than later. This team needs direction, and this front office isn’t providing any.
I’m guessing he lets Pelinka finish the year – but with all decisions needing approval. There aren’t GMs available during the season. But before then I bet we begin to staff up our scouting and analytics departments. I think the only GM we absolutely won’t get now is Presti. I wouldn’t mind if he went after Brad Stevens. This would be the time to do it as Boston’s new ownership just took over.
The timing was good for this. It really has put Jeanie in a defensive position – and I think that’ll help loosen any tentative grip she has as a governor.

Jeanie negotiated for her to stay for 5 years as a part of the deal. Unless you want Walter to breach contract, Jeanie will stay.
But Walter made no such guarantees for anyone else in the FO as seen by Jesse and Joey being replaced.
It’s time to move on and see what this franchise can do with new fresh leadership
Chances are he’s not as suseptible to shitty gossip as you are.
Rob is done for sure if he skips the trade deadline just to try for Giannis, only for him to go someplace else. If he still has his job after that, then that’s a huge L on Mark’s part.
I feel like this hit piece on Jeanie Buss was put to soft launch Mark Walter cleaning out house
People are underestimating how much bullshit Klutch put the Lakers through since before LeBron even got here. The KCP and TRT contracts were extortion. AD should and would have come for free as a free agent, but faked an injury and forced his way early so we’d give up assets AND have to pay him even more via extension. Dont even get me started on Brixton Bricklayer EastWestNorthSouthBrick.
Fuck Rich Paul, huckster PoS should be on the streets where he belongs.
Agreed. Having paid what he paid, he should get to install his own executive leadership.
Out of the loop . Where is this coming from? Keep reading comments like she did something wrong recently
Pretty sure nothing will be done after this season or the next. I do hope they improve analytics dept
Who is a realistic get for GM? Maybe back up the Brinks truck for Presti? Tell him he already won a ring in OKC and challenge him to win another under the bright lights? Maybe go after Bob Myers? Who is the Andrew Friedman of the NBA in this generation?
Walter has Friedman and Zaidi looking at the front office operations. They’re all going to be gone in due time. The Rambi lucked out with their $32 million parting gift before they get jettisoned in to the sun.
im going to get down voted into oblivion for this but Jeanie was absolutely right and justified for her take. me and my family have been fans of the Lakers for pretty much their entire existence in LA. The way you all are so quick to lick the boots of some mega corporation and so easily toss aside the Buss family is absolutely ridiculous.. There is nothing wrong with what Jeanie said in that article and yall are way too quick with your judgments.
Can’t come no faster.
Jeannie is a snake. And I say this as a 20+ year season ticket holder. I don blame her for siding against Jim back in the day – we were due for a change. However, what started to drastically change my opinion on her was the way she treated Mitch Kuptchak as part of the transition away from Jim. She put out a story using Kevin’s Ding as her mouthpiece, dragging Mitch through the mud essentially saying that Mitch’s daughter’s fatal illness had caused him to underperform at his job. No decent human being would do such a thing. Then again, no decent human being would tell her own brother he should not have been born. She is a snake and I am glad we are moving away from her.
Also, no way any of those clowns deserve $8to $24m out of this sale. That is absolutely ridiculous. For fucks sake, she barely paid Mitch and Jerry West any money when they separated for the team – AND THEY WERE BOTH INSTRUMENTAL TO MAKING THE LAKERS WHAT WE KNOW-TODAY.
I hope they fire her soon.
As far as Rob, if he does not end up with a Giannis like trade or off season signing, he will be gone.
She has a five year contract with the new organization, I’m sure there is an out clause but wonder what she needs to do for it to be activated.
She doesn’t have any power though, right?
The Buss children, Rambis, Pelinka and co can be ambassadors for the brand until the end of time for all I care. None of them should be running the team in any capacity, regardless of if Luka fell in Robs lap or not
What the hell is he waiting for? I thought she did an incredible job of wresting control away from her brother, but damn it’s been downhill since then. Starting to worry Mark Walter is going to use the Lakers as a cash cow to pay the Dodgers bills.
Pelinka was only kept around so long because he “reminded her of Kobe”
Jeanie is not as competent as her father. It would’ve been nice if she was.
It’s an absolute shame how the Buss kids completely fucked up what Dr. Jerry Buss left behind
He needs to hire lebronchitis to annoy Jeanie in her Twitter DMs everyday
The way he’s looking at her is hilarious 😂😂😂
Wow man, you laker fans. Loved her when she got Lebron and AD.
Don’t the lakers still have a winning record? Didn’t she get the guy that got Luka? I mean, she’s better than more than half the owners in the league. Your team wins because she’s dedicated to that cause.
Would you prefer the guy that owns the Wizards?
I agree! She has to go.
Why ?
She’s not leaving. She got it in writing that she stays on for five years if she wants. Mark Walter and she have a great relationship, and she went with because of her trust. He’s not gonna go back on that because of some ESPN article. All this stuff was known to some degree when the deal happened. The Buss family overall has kids don’t match up to their dad, but Jeanie is the best of the bunch and she’s proven it. Her personal family dynamics and up to her family to deal with, and don’t involve the Lakers.
Some disgusting, sexist things in this thread.
What an awesome picture
She ain’t helpin’
This Def a Bron fan speaking. Any real Laker fan from Shaq/Kobe era loves Jeanie
