Jeanie Buss is beloved by the Lakers fans, that is for sure. While some believe that she could easily persuade her finance, Phil Jackson, to rejoin the Lakers as their head coach, Mike D’Antoni still has the job.

How the Lakers’ regroup this season and the decisions the front office makes next summer will likely be very foretelling on Jim Buss’ reputation and legacy with the franchise.
