Jeannie Buss on Laker Radio Show on AM570

Laker owner Jerry Buss’s daughter Jeannie Buss who is the VP of Business Operations for the Lakers as well, was on the local Los Angeles radio show “Loose Cannons” talking about the current Laker’s summer situation.

She talks about Kobe’s comments this summer about Jerry Buss and Laker management not doing anything to make the Laker’s a winning NBA team. She talks about how Kobe wants to be a winner and so does Phil, when asked if the Laker’s were a divided organization between Jeannie, Phil and Kobe where the other side is Jerry Buss, Mitch Kupchak and Laker management.

Jeannie says that Phil’s mindset during last season was that he was dreading and hurting a lot of it due to hip surgery before last season. Phil is happy to have Derek Fisher and Chris Mihm back on the roster this season. She went on to comment that she knew that Phil knew where Kobe was coming from during the media uproar during Kobe’s comments to the media this summer.

She talks about how Phil and her had an hour long conversation about basketball, where Phil shared a lot of his strategies for the upcoming season.

A lot of the talk was about her relationship with Phil, and how that dynamic works in the team and management chemistry. Nothing too much that helps us judge what’s gonna happen.
