Jim Buss I am sure has been trying like hell to put together a winner and prove his haters that he can do it. The Draft picks of Clarkson, Randle, Nance, and Russell were a start. I even criticized the Russell pick as I wanted Okafor but what do I know? Then the hiring of Luke Walton was the shot heard around the world + Drafting that guy out of Duke (Ingram) helps as well. Maybe building through the Draft does work after all when you hire the right Coach and get the right players. Of course Mitch deserves a lot of this credit but if we make the Playoffs, I think people that hate Jim Buss need to ease off a bit as we have something brewing in Laker Nation!
