If they were to remain a cellar team and miss the playoffs two or three years in a row, the siblings might revolt, but lets face the facts. If both Jeannie and Jim were to be voted out of there, then who would run the company? I think you're stuck with the current face of the Lakers for at least another five years before anyone would be in jeopardy of being forced out. That's just not going to happen. The loss of Dr Buss is something that it will take time to over-come no matter how much they were prepared for it. I would feel more comfortable with the new face if they had been smart enough to bring Phil Jackson in, but Jim Buss chased Jerry West away years ago and then chased Phil away and the best we got for an answer was support of Jim by Jeannie.
I didn't say you did - I just pointed out that Jeannie and Jim are running the show and neither one are likely to be voted out in anything less than a five year run which resulted in the Lakers missing the playoffs for the most part. I think that partly because it's a new ownership and also because there is a big empty vacuum with no one any better. It's not like one of the other kids are even remotely interested. I simply don't think Jim will be leaving any time soon no matter what happens. Now in about three or four years if Jim had failure after failure - I think they would sit down and discuss it, but I really do believe that the Lakers will gradually get better. It might happen fast, but I think it may take longer than most people are expecting. Dr Buss was a genius in his own rights and the people he had under him were geniuses as well. The kids are not.
