VIDEO: Even Adam Silver Knows the Lakers Are a Mess Based on His Latest Comments
By Jerry Trotta
Even the commissioner knows how massive of a dumpster fire that the Los Angeles Lakers organization has become! NBA commish Adam Silver appeared on ESPN's Get Up! on Wednesday to address several topics, including the never-ending clown show that is LA's front office. And in case you were wondering, Silver, though he can't come outright and say it, feels the same way as millions of basketball fans across the country.
"The league's position is that we have tremendous confidence in Jeanie Buss," said Silver. "Her family are some of the longest-standing owners in the NBA and one of the most successful ownership groups in all of major league sports history...I know Jeanie knows how to manage a team. Sure, when things start to go wrong a lot of fingers get pointed, people like to pile on, but they'll figure it out. Jeanie will get it together."
Yeah, that's pretty much about as professional as Silver could have put it without stating just how dysfunctional the franchise is.
But wake up and smell the coffee, commish. What evidence has lead you to have such blind faith in Jeanie Buss' ability to run a franchise? Even Laker Nation is aware of that unfortunate, distorted reality.
