Is Jim Buss reason why FAs avoiding the Lakers?

[Remote]

Apparently,

Stephen A. Smith suggested that the reason big time free agents haven't gone to LA is not because of Kobe, but because of Jim Buss.

And that if Jerry Buss were alive, they'd still be contenders.





Does the coli agree?




Also, Guy Torry is looking these days.

I'd have to agree it's definitely Buss fault and not the 400 yr old 1 legged gunner eating up half the cap and all the shots in addition to being a narcissistic psychopath. When all else fails blame the white guy

I'll let my breh @2Quik4UHoes handle this

SAS is just one of ur typical dikkriding kobe stans

let keep it 100 -u really think these nikkaz even know who is jim buss

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

Well lets see:

jim is the shytbag that hired Rudy T after Phil left

jim is the shytbag that hired mike brown

jim is the shytbag that hired our sworn enemy mike f'ucktoni

jim is the one that STILL hasn't hired a coach and it's nearly August

jim is the one that hired bartenders for NBA scouts

jim is the one that pushed out not only Logo but also Phil from the Lakers organization so he could have full control since mitch is about as lively as a piece of stale cardboard he won't fight back against this line sniffing fiend

jim is the one that nearly forced Kobe to Chicago, notice that it was the beginning of him and Shaq's relationship taking a turn for the better since both of them know of the incompetence of jim buss and the ill advised choice Dr. Buss made.

Simply put, most players in the NBA know full well that jim buss is a coked up megalomaniac with absolutely no real clue about running a sports team other than being a failed horse breeder prior to his bright idea of joining the Lakers to destroy them. The indecisiveness, his reliance on only selling the Lakers prestige over having a real plan, the soap opera dramas that come with jim and jeanie for that matter have pretty much ruined the Lakers with regards to being a serious basketball organization. Why would any superstar player with no past ties to the Lakers want to be stuck with a drug addict controlling basketball operations and basically your chances at a title?

Oh and if I didn't say it already, fukk jim buss.

One c00n passive aggressively defending another c00n. Not surprising.

 

[DonFrancisco]

no Phil Jackson= no FA

No one wants to play for a horrible owner and superstar past his glory years that believes he is the key to winning championships. Sorry Kobe, the key to winning championships was Phil

 

[BStapies]

No its Kobe

No star is taking a paycut to play with a 35 year old "star"

 

[SpursFanSinceNovember2017]

Stephan A. Smith is a Kobe stan. He disses Duncan and claims Kobe is better.

Sheesh. Its that bad huh? And I thought the Pistons were bad.

 

[LezJepzin]

Jim Buss is LA Sports new Donald Sterling minus the racist actions replaced by drugs.

 

[RedBull]

It's combination of Buss, Kobe and not having Phil. Not having Phil is the biggest reason FAs won't come, you guys blame Kobe but if Phil was there some ofthe mistakes wouldn't have happened, for example Dwight would've stayed and Kobe wouldn't have scared him off.

 

[mrken12]

No its Kobe

It's not even about Kobe's age because he can still play at a high level. It's more about Kobe's ruthless attitude towards his teammates.

Gasol got two titles off that ruthlessness, Odom is a sensitive fukk but still managed to play many years alongside Kobe. If playing alongside Kobe is really the issue then these new players are even more p*ssy than I ever imagined and shouldn't be in LA.

Kobe put up with Shaq's shyt for years for the sake of winning. To me saying it's Kobe is just a shytty excuse, it all boils down to the mayhem in the front office. Losing Phil is a much bigger reason than Kobe still being around, if Phil was doing for us what he's doing for the knicks we wouldn't have had a problem with free agents. Yall gotta realize Phil and jim been at war since the 3peat, jim absolutely hates Phil and vice versa so it was all too easy for Phil to paint a terrible picture to melo of the situation in LA hell he can spread that message to all free agents.

It's no amount of recruiting Kobe can do cuz even he's been at wits end with these useless shytheads, these the same nikkaz that wasted Kobe's best prime years making him a box office draw rather than a championship contender. As long as jim is a part of the Lakers the team won't prosper and that's even after Kobe leaves.

It sounds like he was also saying spurs are a better organization. He called them first class and suggested the lakers are disfunctional.
