The Lakers' biggest problem is manager Jenny Bass
Although Jenny Bass controls the power of the Lakers, the female leader herself does not understand the ball, and has never made any major decisions, for the operation and management of the team, she is more often watching the general manager or team consultant make decisions.
The lead figure in the introduction of LeBron James is Lakers star Magic Johnson
Jenny Bass's ex-fiancé, Zen master Phil Jackson, wanted to enter the Lakers management, but failed to achieve it, Magic Johnson sat in the general manager position for many years and left, logo male Jerry West was rejected after wanting to return to the Lakers management, behind all this, can not be separated from the Rambis couple behind the push.
Mr. and Mrs. Lambis
The Lambis are veterans of the Lakers and confidants of the Lakers' former and current bosses.
Nicknamed Superman, Lambis is a Lakers celebrity, who won four championships in the Lakers, served as an assistant coach after retiring, and is now a senior consultant for the Lakers.
Rambis
The woman was previously an assistant to the elder Bath and had worked for the Lakers for more than four decades. The elder Buzz introduced her to Jenny, believing that she could assist the latter.
Magic drastic reform, trade away their selected rookies, and sign james, if you continue to let the Magician stay in the position, wait until the Lakers win the championship, what voice can the couple have left? Jenny's trust in the magician was too high, affecting the two of them, so Capelin, the agent-born person, could take the place and replace the magician.
Jerry West was once considered the man of Jenny's brothers, left the Lakers after building the OK combination to win a three-game winning streak, and expressed his desire to return to the Lakers many years after leaving the team, when Jenny had completely controlled the Lakers, with West's ability, enough to make the rebuilding Lakers rise rapidly, but he eventually failed to return to the Lakers, but went to another NBA team in Los Angeles, he created a combination of Leonard and George for the Los Angeles Clippers, introduced Tyrone Lue, and a number of potential rookies.
Tyrone Lue mentioned here once had the opportunity to become the lakers head coach, but the Lambis were worried that his close relationship with James would lead to a decrease in their voice in the team, so they put forward harsh conditions to force Tyrone Lu to abandon their plans to join the Lakers.
This pile of events all shows that the Lakers' internal discourse power is firmly controlled by the couple, for Jenny, as long as the Lakers tickets sell well and the team is still in their own hands, then everything is no longer a problem.
As for giving up DeRozan in the offseason and signing Westbrook, it can only be explained that signing Westbrook is more topical, more helpful for tickets and attention, and as for whether to take the championship, it does not have much impact on Jenny and Lambis.
As for the james team's right to speak in the Lakers, it is even more impossible to talk about, after all, the Lakers are not Cleveland Cavaliers, and only the James family and their confidants can decide here.
