Since Jenny Boss has assumed ownership Los Angeles Lakers In 2013 after the death of her father, Jerry Boss, she had one goal.
To make it proud.
When I was asked if she believed that she had achieved this goal with one of the most shocking deals in the history of sport that brought Dallas MaverxStar Luca Densic To Lakers in exchange Anthony Davis On February 1, you did not hesitate.
“It will be very proud,” Boss told a handful of journalists on Thursday while promoting “Point”, a 10 -episode comedy on Netflix, which relies loosely on Buss’s duration with Lakers.
In fact, when Buss gave the General Manager of Lakers Rob Pelinka her blessing on the amazing deal, her father, who was known for his vision and fear, was an introduction.
“When you get a player from this position, you have to give up a lot,” Bus said. “But my father was a great Booker player and said he always wanted to remember that the poker was a patience game. You had to wait for the right cards. But as soon as you got the cards, you had to go from scratch to 100 – and don’t be afraid of playing it. So, it was difficult because we did not look at Anthony’s trading or Max Christie. But it was a deal that he had concluded. We had to go to that. “
Buss acknowledged that the weeks before the trade were annoying. Only four people have knowledge of the deal – general managers and owners of the two teams – and I thought it was necessary to remain in this way.
“These things are collapsing all the time,” Bus said. “It was really important for me that we did not explode the team. If it was leaked and the trade did not happen, it would be really unfair to the progress made by the training team with the team. It is a great distraction.”
The deal was amazed by all concerned, including the 25 -year -old Densic, which is considered one of the three best players in the league and took Marax to the finals last year. Doncic faced his former team for the first time on Tuesday and admitted that he was still reeling.
“It will take some time to close,” Densic said after his first assisting passes. “This is not perfect. But, as I said, I am happy because this game has ended. There were a lot of feelings. But we go little by little, and every day is better.”
Lakers, who won 16 of their last 20 games in fourth place at the Western Conference with 36-21, now they have a franchise star that can make them competitors during the next decade.
Buss, who is not alien to pull the trigger in large deals, added that she was proud that both teams kept a wonderful deal under the winding, and did not risk showing it on the fall.
“I think people talk about … not only Bao [Gasol] The trade that happened, [but] In referring to the deal that would have launched David Stern (who was behaving as the owner of Charlotte Hornz) in 2011, he would have seen the American Professional League Commissioner (who was behaving as the owner of Charlotte Hornz) in 2011, who would have seen the American Professional League Commissioner (who was behaving as the owner of Charlotte Hornz) in 2011.
There is always this anxiety, there will be some new ruling, for example, what will happen now? But what I have [is] Full confidence in Rob is that he knows how to go in a deal by step to ensure that everything is complete and buttons. This is exactly what happened. “
It was a few weeks for the papers, which did not oversee one of the largest deals ever, but was eagerly awaiting the emergence of “Running Point” on February 27. Actress Kate Hudson, who plays the role of Ella Gordon, a woman who was appointed as Los Angeles, a team that won multiple championships and was owned by her family. The show was not only inspired by buses, but also worked as an executive producer in this series.
“It seems as if the dream has become a reality for me,” said Boss. It is a lot of fun. It is not the story of Laker. It is not my story. But there are definitely things inspired by my position and what I do, and I think people will find them dependent on them. The characters are warm, funny and loving, but they are a family. As you learned that the majority of companies in this country are a business owned by the family, and that when you work with your family, you tend to a step on each other. “
Buss could only laugh at one of the largest deals that coincide with the Netflix Show version.
“Everyone thinks, has this trade be done to enhance the offer?” She said, flashing a wide smile.
“i don’t think so.”
