Jimmy Buss recap: - On Jerry West. The Icon leaving has nothing to do with him (Jim Buss). If West is available, Lakers will entertain and consider bringing him back. - Who's to blame? Not only 1 person to blame. Mitch, Jim, Jerry, Phil are the decision makers. Maybe the coaches didn't coach a young team well, maybe Kobe should be more of a playmaker - different ways of approaching decision making. It takes a full year or 2 to see the full outcome about the decisions they've made. May 22nd time to make decisions this year. - Any player on the table aside from Kobe? Absolutely! Misconception to protect Bynum from being traded is false. But saying that he made a great move by drafting Bynum. - Kobe to be more of a voice regarding a sense of urgency for this team? No. Kobe just was in the heat of the moment when he made that statement. Kobe doesn't realize how much he's involved, but he is involved with some of the decision making. - Will Kobe opt out? Almost every player has an out on his contract to negotiate. Kobe's opt out has nothing to do with him leaving the team. Understands Kobe voicing his frustrations but believes Kobe is a Laker FOR LIFE. - If Kobe was traded/Shaq to Miami: Talks if Kobe would ask for a trade, they'd try to get the best player of each team, i.e. KG if he was traded to Minny. Talks about how Miami was fortunate that Wade became the player he is. But the Lakers took the great player the Heat currently had. - Phil Jackson on ripping players: Feels uncomfortable about Phil ripping players in the media, but believes in Phil and doesn't really "care for it." He has a meeting with Phil Jackson next week. Will talk to Phil about players like Kwame Brown and his injury, etc. - Making trades: Agrees with the fans that Lakers need to make a MAJOR change. Will try to go for a BIG NAME player. But winning is more important than just trying to get a big name player. Says Dallas is probably in a worse situation than the Lakers right now. - Style of Laker's play: Talks about GS. Says GS is playing good defense. Don Nelson is probably a different (better?) defensive coach than Phil. - Phil's contract: Phil is the right coach for this team. He has an open ended policy on his contract. Wants Phil to keep coaching because that means Phil believes in this team. - Luke Walton re-signing: Believes Luke will be back. Fully confident. But he also said that he believed Derek Fisher will be back a couple years ago when Fish was a FA, but that didn't happen. So nothing he can really say about it right now. - Shaking the roster up? No fear to shake up the roster. Kobe is the pillar of the team. Will do anything to go back to winning. He ends by saying he'll be back on the show to answer questions from the fans after the Draft. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 163.25.118.133
