SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- Jeanie Buss isn't sure what this pivotal free agency holds for her team but she wants to see the Los Angeles Lakers return to the postseason for the first time since 2012-13.
Speaking to reporters before the NBA Awards show in Santa Monica, the Lakers' co-owner and governor expressed her confidence and "complete faith" in team president Magic Johnson's and GM Rob Pelinka's rebuild as the franchise heads into a long-awaited and potentially fortune-altering free agency.
"In the young core and the new guys that we're adding, I have complete faith in our front office -- no matter how they want to build the team, whether it's through trades or free agency, trades or through the draft -- that they're going to build on the style of play that you saw throughout this year," Buss said.
