Recently, Lakers owner Jenny Bass was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times about this disappointing season, and she said bluntly: "I'm not happy, I'm angry!" I'm getting impatient! We have the fourth-highest salary in the league and are certainly looking forward to making the playoffs. Not getting the results we want is painful. ”
"The Lakers have disappointed the fans, and I understand the dissatisfaction and anger of the fans! Of course, we don't like missing out on the playoffs, so I'll make the Lakers better! The Lakers' performance is not up to par, and I will make tough and necessary decisions! Jenny also said: "I hope James can be happy!" I hope he has full confidence in the Lakers. ”
Asked by the reporter if Jenny and the agency Klutch were controlling the Lakers, Aunt Jenny replied angrily: "Are they managing the team?" No, not at all! I'm the owner of the Lakers, and I'm responsible for every decision the team makes. I believe that with James and Thick Brow as the cornerstones, we can win the championship again. ”
In response to criticism of the Rambis interfering in the team's affairs, Aunt Jenny explained: "Lambis has been working in the NBA for nearly 40 years, his basketball knowledge is very profound, and he is someone I admire! Rambis' wife, Linda, is my consultant, she has been with the Lakers for more than 30 years, and the criticism of them is not fair! ”
In recent seasons, reports of the Lakers' management chaos have never stopped. In 2019, Jenny and Pelinka agreed to sign Tyrenlu as Lakers coach, only the Lambis opposed. Many agents in the league refer to Rambis' wife, Linda, as the Lakers' shadow boss, believing that jenny has to handle everything!
Speaking of Lambis, many fans are no strangers. He played for the Lakers twice in his playing career, winning four NBA championships with the team. After retiring from the military, Lambis served as Phil Jackson's assistant coach at the Lakers and then as Fisher's assistant coach at the Knicks, and Rambis had a very close relationship with Phil. Currently, Rambis is a senior consultant to the Lakers.
This offseason, the Lakers will usher in a major change of blood, not only the coaching team and player lineup. On April 28, Lakers athletic performance director Situ Minyi officially left the team, becoming the first member to leave the Lakers. Situ Minyi, also known as Judy Seto, is a Chinese physiotherapist from Guangdong, who joined the Lakers in 1990 and is definitely an elder.
Situ Minyi is a meritorious member of the Lakers' 6 crowns, and she is mainly responsible for the rehabilitation of star players such as O'Neal and Kobe Bryant. Since 2000, Situ Minyi has become a "Kobe Royal Therapist". There may be fans who think that physical therapists are not so important, but Kobe Bryant calls Stu Minyi: the "super secret weapon" of the Lakers dynasty, bryant in the field of physiotherapy.
In 2011, Stu Minyi was promoted to the lakers' chief physiotherapist, and with Kobe Bryant retiring in 2016, the Lakers fired Situ Minyi, who had worked for the team for 26 years. In May 2019, the Lakers invited her out of the mountain again, and Situ Minyi returned to the team. In the past two seasons, the Lakers' core players have suffered injuries one after another, which may be the reason for Stu Minyi's dismissal.
In the past 4 years, the Lakers have fired 3 training group supervisors, can such management reassure Lakers fans?
