News broke Tuesday morning that the organization has essentially moved on from the Jim Buss era. Buss made a promise back in 2014 saying if he didn’t have the Lakers competitive again within three years he would quit, and it seems Jeanie is holding him to his word.
The move has come as a shock for many Laker fans because many feel Mitch has done a good job choosing young talent in the draft as well as building championship teams. Don’t forget he was the one who got Pau Gasol to come to Los Angeles for a bag of Doritos.
