Lakers president Jeanie Buss said Monday she’s happy fiancé Phil Jackson is running the Knicks, but admitted she hoped he would have been able to assume a similar role with the Lakers.
Appearing on Bleacher Report radio to discuss Kobe Bryant’s retirement, Buss said she’s pleased Jackson is finally getting accolades for his draft selection of 7-foot-3 phenom Kristaps Porzingis, but admits she has mixed feelings over their long-distance relationship. Jackson spent the past week in Los Angeles for Thanksgiving before returning Friday.
