Jeanie Buss went “Hit em Up” on the Lakers front office today and this may be the reason why.
It was all over DeMarcus Cousins.
Going after DeMarcus Cousins was Jim & Mitch's last-ditch attempt to save their jobs, I'm told. Jim really wanted him, Mitch handled talks

Jeanie is done w/ Lakers' inability to get stars in Laker Land, & she had always seemed convinced Cousins could calm down in their setting.

It wasn’t just Brandon Ingram, but he was the centerpiece and I am sure the Kings would have preferred him over Hield.
Hindsight is 20/20 and we will have to see how it all works out for everyone going forward.
