In order for the Lakers to return to their former glory, writes columnist BillPlaschke, owner Jeanie Buss needs to look outside her family circle
Pelinka did not suddenly become this difficult once he took the Lakers job. He has always worked this way. But Buss didn’t see it. All she saw was Bryant’s powerful advocate, and that qualified him as Lakers family.
She can’t, because it’s not. Her organization’s reputation is in tatters. Her reputation is slowly crumbling. The Buss family name that she has worked so hard to protect is in danger of being irreparably damaged. By keeping it in the Lakers family, she has embarrassed the family, and it only grew worse Wednesday.
Despite requests to answer questions in the wake of the departure of the franchise’s most visible and enduring symbol, neither official publicly spoke. At a moment in their history when the Lakers desperately needed a public show of leadership, there was none.Maybe LeBron James could have offered reassurances? Yeah, right. He wasn’t even in town.
Buss needs to clean out the rest of the top of the basketball operation and find a smart and savvy person to run the joint.
