Silver Screen & Roll
@LakersSBN

There has reportedly been "no indication" that Jeanie Buss plans to offer Jerry West a role with the Lakers. Read More Here


Jerry West still has love for the Lakers, but apparently Jeanie Buss doesn’t see him as a viable option in the wake of the Magic Johnson era.

"Reportedly no indication"? So there's no actual evidence that there's no indication?

The gist of this article is that nobody knows one way or the other. It seems unlikely to me that West would return in any role, and if he does return, it would be as a consultant/consigliere, because he's 80.

I believe he said that when his current stint with the Clippers ends, he wants to retire. I know it's hard to accept, but unfortunately nothing lasts forever.

Not surprised, Jeannie wants to make her own stamp on the franchise, even if its to the detriment of not hiring a brilliant basketball mind. I'm sure Jerry West is doing fine.

All those people/entities you mentioned also told her to hire Luke, fire Mitch/Jim, hire Magic, trade D'Lo, draft Lonzo, trade the Young core to build a contender around Lebron right now.

One of the problems is that Jeanie has been listening too much to other people. The things people suggest don't work out then people do a 180 and act like the things they suggested were the most obvious bad moves a owner could make.

Also Jerry West isn't coming back unless he gets an ownership stake, and I'm not sure if that's something Jeanie could even offer.

Jeanie is the cause of all problems with this franchise. Please just sell the team.

F Jeanie Buss if she is not, at the very least, having exploratory discussions with Jerry West to join the team, considering he is a free agent.

This man is a proven basketball genius. If she cannot see that, she is not fit to be leading this team. Look at her track record since Doc, may God rest his soul, passed.


Let Jim Buss take the helm in the VP/GM department.
Stay D12 Banners
Wanted Phil Jackson as the GM.
Hired Magic Johnson as VP.
Hired Rob F'n Pelinka as GM?
Continues to keep Pelinka as GM.
Receives counsel from Linda Rambis?!?

What a garbage leader.

I don't see Jerry leaving Ballmer after making a commitment to him. He's just not that type of guy, plus he probably doesn't want to come here now...it doesn't appear that anybody wants to come here.

The subject title is speculation and not supported by the quote from Amick.

Don't really see who in their right mind would want to come here with the way Jeanie has been running things. She is a joke.

Johnny was enrolled at USC as a drama major for a while. Jim majored in math at USC before dropping out. Jeanie was a business major, graduated from USC with honors. Janie graduated from CS Dominguez Hills.

No idea if any crew coaches were ever involved during Jimmy’s application to USC.
