Lakers owner Jeanie Buss ‘growing impatient’ after high-priced roster misses playoffs: ‘It was gut-wrenching’

Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss would like you to know that she is not pleased. She’s not pleased that the Lakers missed the playoffs, and she’s not pleased that the roster that went 33-49 in the regular season cost more than $200 million, including a bit of dead money and an estimated $45 million luxury-tax bill, per Spotrac.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times’ Bill Plaschke, Buss described all of the losing as “gut-wrenching,” “heartbreaking,” “extremely disappointing” and “hugely disappointing.” She said she understands the “anger and frustration” from fans and pledged to “make it better.” She also said that she wants LeBron James, who has one more year on his contract and will eligible for a two-year extension on Aug. 4, “to feel confident in the team, that we have the pieces to win a championship.”
