After the Los Angeles Lakers decided to hire coach Mike D'Antoni opposed to Phil Jackson, a lot of fans started to question whether it was in the organization's best interest in letting the son of the late owner Dr. Jerry Buss, Jim Buss, run the Lakers organization.
However, according to The Hollywood Reporter's article, Jeanie Buss, the daughter of Dr. Jerry Buss, will not be stepping into a bigger role within the organization anytime soon.
"My brother ultimately makes the basketball decisions. I defer and will continue to defer because that's what my dad believed would be successful."
There will be a time that the Lakers will need to make a decision whether they are going to keep D'Antoni, but Jeanie will not be the one who ultimately makes the final decision, that decision will belong to Jim.
Jeanie later said in the same interview that she still is unaware of what the decision process was in the hiring of D'Antoni over Jackson.
"I would be more comfortable if I understood what the decision process was, and I'm not always involved in it." To be held accountable by the league and not have a seat at the table when decisions are made is hard."
