How Can Jim Buss Win Over Lakers Fans?

Lakers fans are known around the league for being “spoiled and entitled.” Who can blame us? The basketball gods have favored the Lakers, whether it be a superstar player or a championship caliber team. Before last season, Jim Buss brought us two pieces most felt would turn the Lakers into Finals favorites – Dwight Howard and Steve Nash. As history shows, it didn’t work out how everyone had hoped, and now Jim Buss is a complete bum in the eyes of Lakers fans. He wasn’t given any credit for the trades that landed Steve Nash and Dwight Howard, but he received the brunt of the fans discontent when Dwight left. Although Jim seems to have done a good job, especially considering the new restrictions the CBA imposes, he is constantly the scapegoat for the Lakers. Here’s a few ways Jim can smooth things over with the Lakers faithful.
