Jeanie runs (front office) circles around her two (basketball-addle-brained) brothers.

That said, Jeanie has completely vindicated herself. There was a time where just about everyone thought Jeanie was going to run the franchise into the ground with her lack of experience and the emotional nature of the drama that ensured. Even when she promoted Pelinka after Magic stepped down there was sharp criticism. Yet in the end, it was her finally doing it her way that brought the Lakers back. |
All of this x 100.
Article definitely had an abrupt end.
Regarding Jeanie - I've been glad to see her out of the press and with far less swirling of internal drama than in years past. She's stuck to a game plan (in her case hiring a solid GM), adapted to letting that person take the reigns (probably helps that Pelinka was Kobe's boy, and Jeannie had a good relationship with Kobe) and has mostly done what a good owner ought to do, try and stay out of the spotlight and let the team focus on winning. |
