9 years or until he makes racist remarks.

Hawks haven't won a championship in like 55 years, these threads are always amusing.

He has 2 years. He's said if he doesn't have the a Lakers contending by then he'll step down.

I don't know if he can survive this year if they don't even with 20 games.
Some fans will start coming with paper bags on their heads and the chants of "Fire Jim Buss" will get louder and louder.

Will Jeanie Buss take over and bring her husband? I'd rather bring back Jerry West or give Kupchak the job.

Kupchak has the job; it's just that he has to go through Jim Buss - Kupchak doesn't have free reign.

the main objective is to win under 20 games this season. kobe needs to fake an injury and rest up for the 2016 season.

Jerry WEst should def be a consultant for the Lakers.

I think Buss tells Kupchak what to do, not the other way around. Mitch is way too smart, he wouldn't have signed such a shitty roster.

Indeed. Makes you appreciate Jerry Buss as one of the best team owners there have been. He was not just a billionaire, he knew how to run a franchise.

Seeing as how he's an owner, it won't be an easy out, regardless of the timetable he gave himself. Dude is making a lot of money despite his team losing so much.

The sooner the better. Jim Buss needs to GTFO and stop being owner of the Lakers.

How much money do you think he'd lose if he stepped down? We're not asking him to sell the team..

or are we lol

He would stand to make more money in the position he's in. His siblings that don't hold a managerial position as he does, aren't making the same amount. That's not to say that to them it's a big difference. I bet to Jim it is thought. Dude has an ego as well.

He also was part of the nixed CP3 deal.

But wait...

He also hired and fire Mike Brown and Mike NoD Antoni
He also didn't hire Phil when he was willing to coach the Lakers
He also didn't even give Adleman an interview, a coach who has a big man moving offense that could have worked with Pau and Howard

Wasn't this the point of the lakers season?

To get a high draft pick.

i don't think that was the goal in the off-season ala sixers. since the lakers were unable to lure any free agents, that seems to be the goal now.

He has one of the worst haircuts in the NBA by far.
It's almost as bad as another sports owner with a shitty haircut fit for a 5 year old, Mark Davis.

he won't comeback because of Jackson's relationship to the team through Jeanie... And Jeanie won't ask him back because of her relationship with Phil, Jackson and West pretty much hate each other, Jackson is why West left in the first place...

Jerry Buss blew it there, he should have never let West leave the team but he was too enamored with the moment of winning titles with Shaq and Kobe and didn't want to rock the boat with his daughter
