Jeanie Buss vs Jim Buss

[bksballer89]

Just was on Yahoo and I came along this story about the betrayal of her brother

There was no discussion of money at the meeting or any of the supposed demands by Phil that were later erroneously reported in the media.
​

Looking back, I wonder where the media was getting its information. Someone was talking.
​

As Jim and Mitch were preparing to leave, Phil got in the last word, telling them, "I'm going to consider this but I have to check with some people," meaning he had to get cleared by his doctors and talk to his family.
​

This could be a life-changing decision. He wasn't going to just say, "Okay, where's the contract?" He was retired and they had just dropped a bombshell on him. He needed a little time to think it over. So they agreed to talk again on Monday morning.
​

Jim and Mitch made it very clear they were still going to talk to other people. During that weekend, they spoke to both Mike D'Antoni and Mike Dunleavy.
​

Phil understood that. He wasn't pleading for the job, and they weren't negotiating yet. . . .
​

The sequence of events — Phil almost coming back and then being told someone else was better for the job — practically destroyed me. It almost took away my passion for this job and this game. It felt like I had been stabbed in the back. It was a betrayal. I was devastated.
​

I felt that I got played. Why did they have to do that? Why did Jim pull Phil back into the mix if he wasn't sincere about it? . . .
​

Phil wasn't looking for the job, and then he wasted 36 hours of his life preparing for it when they were never in a million years going to hire him anyway.
​

How do you do that to your sister? How do you do that to Phil Jackson?

Nice to see that a Heat "fan" is so concerned with the Lakers ownership. Keep them in your prayers.

 

[bksballer89]

Will do sir

What's with the avi bks? Did you lose a bet or is there a secret you need to let us know about (not that there's anything wrong with that)?

 

[trojanfan12]

As for the article. It's an excerpt from a biography about Jeannie called Laker Girl and she's describing how she felt at the time!! All reports of late have been that things are good between them. Both Jeannie and Jim have said that in recent interviews and Jim even acknowledged that Jeannie is ultimately the one with final say in the organization!!

This was the main reason why I thought Jim was above the excuse of his father passing. The dude made decisions that made absolutely no sense, then he tries to feed us fans his BS reasons.

I was gonna ask punchline what was up with his av on the NFL boards when I saw it, but then figured it was none o' my business...
