Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss has made a couple of passing references to “Game of Thrones”, a fairly popular show that airs on HBO, for the three people left who weren’t aware of that fact. Kobe Bryant delights in retelling the story of how he told Jeanie to embody Daenerys Targaryen by firing her brother, Jim, and then general manager Mitch Kupchak when it looked like the Lakers were at risk of being harmed by an incompetent front office.
Her solution to this point, unfortunately, seems to just be doubling down on the same strategy to replace them — a strategy that didn’t work the first time.
