Nothing inaccurate either. |
Well . . . here is the operative quote from the article.

Scuttlebutt. In some league circles. Suggests. This is where we are in the Lakers news cycle right now. I suppose Lakersground could qualify as a “league circle.” Let’s start some “scuttlebutt.” I hear that Jeanie Buss makes her decisions based on visions granted to her by a Sumerian deity after priestess Linda Rambis sacrifices a live chicken. Ooo, and they do this while naked. Spread the word! |

Shadow owner? That’s not ambitious enough. Here’s another quote from the article.
| Quote: | | There have been whispers about the power of Rambis in relation to Buss for a while, but that influence is now extending outside of the Lakers organization and into the NBA at large. |
Linda Rambis, Shadow Overlord of the NBA! |

Shadow Overlord! 
For in the beginning there was but light and the shadow owner. As time passed, and humans and creatures and living things began to flourish, the shadow owner became forgotten, as many became drunk with hubris. Until the day foretold in the prophecy arrived, when the shadow owner returned to take vengeance on all who had forgotten her. For this is the day forever known as the day of fire and darkness and it is the day the shadow owner retook its throne and was henceforth forever known as THE SHADOW OVERLORD! |

| Quote: | Although Rob Pelinka is nominally running the Basketball Operations for the Los Angeles Lakers, it’s not all that clear who he is reporting to.
And the scuttlebutt in some league circles suggests that Pelinka is reporting to Lakers Executive Director of Special Projects Linda Rambis, who is looked at by some as a ‘shadow owner.’
Amin Elhassan on ESPN: "Some agents and GMs around the league have dubbed her the shadow owner of the Lakers, that everything goes through Linda Rambis, and if you want to convince Jeanie of something, you’ve got to get Linda first."
Ramona Shelburne on ESPN: "The fact that people talk about that now is funny to me, because it’s been that way for 40 years. They have been best friends. And personality-wise, if you know them, it sort of makes sense. Jeanie can be shy. Linda is more of a talker. She’s more of a doer. The difference is, in the past, her role has been more as a consigliere or an events person whereas, right now, there’s a lot more dealing with agents."
So it appears Linda Rambis is handling a lot of the duties of talking with other power brokers. In the absence of Magic Johnson, it appears the Lakers family that was always there is simply consolidating their power.
Rambis has long been an advisor to Buss and her husband, Lakers legend Kurt Rambis, is also a team executive in basketball operations helping Pelinka conduct the coaching search.
There have been whispers about the power of Rambis in relation to Buss for a while, but that influence is now extending outside of the Lakers organization and into the NBA at large.

This article is such BS and has hater written all over it. It's written for the simple purpose of creating anti Laker sentiment, and most Laker fans fall for it. No mater how quiet the Lakers are this stuff keep flowing out. The media in this country is out of control. |
It's happening on every level, I have been saying it for decades, it just gets more and more evident as the years go on. Someday, most of you are going to realize that the media in America is completely out of control, there is very little reporting of facts, it is all opinion and innuendo. They take one small piece of something from way on one side, and another tiny piece of something from the complete other side, then they weave their story around it and make up scenarios. But Americans are too stupid and docile to step up and say BS, lets make laws to stop it. Because, God forbid, you are stopping freedom of the press. Freedom for what?? To lie to you and sell you their agenda??? Sports, music, politics, law enforcement, (add your own issue), it's all the same, we are being brain washed and lied to. Nobody gets pissed because half of them like the lies.

as bad as it was 'the bartender is calling the shots' just sounds better than 'the owner's girlfriend is running the show'  |

Adam Silver at next controlling owner's meeting: Welcome, Linda! With great power comes great responsibility. We exist for the good of the NBA.
Linda: There is no good and evil, there is only power and those too weak to seek it.  |

She is a medical genius too, she brought Bruce Lee back to life just so she could kick his ass.
Linda is THE MAN!!!

Someone needs to make a meme of Jeanie...
with Rob, Ryan and Jesse sitting on one shoulder dressed up as angels...
and The Rambii, Magic and perhaps LeBron/Rich Paul sitting on her other shoulder dressed up as devils...
I think that would be an apt depiction of the state of our FO. |
