I should respond to Jeanie Buss’s recent comments about my hoopshype column. She implied that I fabricated something about the internal conflicts of the Lakers. http://espn.go.com/blog/los-angeles/lakers/post/_/id/3878/new-k-bros-podkast-jeanie-buss
Is there conflict in the Los Angeles Lakers’ inner sanctum? Of course.
