It’s never quite simple with the Los Angeles Lakers, for better or for worse. There is no moves without drama, no news cycle without a Lakers twist, and like so much other Los Angeles entertainment, the Lakers coverage can feel downright scripted.
In the latest chapter, Jim Buss and Johnny Buss attempted a coup to unseat Jeanie Buss from her seat on the Lakers’ board of directors and being the controlling owner of the team. I am not qualified to discuss the legal merits of this case, nor do I fully understand it, but this much I know: Jim Buss has ruined any semblance of sympathy and positivity from the Lakers fan base.
