Jerry Bus died as the owner of Los Angeles Lakers in the city of Los Angeles His kids inherited the team If something happened to Les, he would leave us as a rich New York bond salesman who bought the Rockets for cheap from Texan Charlie Thomas and sold it for 2 billion dollars after maximizing the marketing of team to china. He's currently living in Florida and has the city's two championship trophies somewhere in house or boat. @Reeko https://www.linkedin.com/in/rudytomjanovich Rudy Tomjanovich Los Angeles Lakers basketball consultant and statistical analyst. Los Angeles, California Consultant Los Angeles Lakers Dates Employed Jun 2004 – Present Employment Duration 15 yrs 6 mos Scouting and analytics https://www.slamonline.com/archives/at-last-rudy-tomjanovich-no-longer-works-for-the-lakers/ It’s not very well known among non-Laker fanatics, but Rudy Tomjanovich has remained on the team’s payroll since he abruptly left his head coaching position in LA back in 2005, but that’s no longer the case. Reports the OC Register: “The Rudy Tomjanovich era of Lakers history is officially over — at the same time as the Phil Jackson era. At Tomjanovich’s request to stay somewhat involved in the game, he was kept on by Lakers owner Jerry Buss as a very well-compensated special consultant upon stepping down as Lakers head coach on Feb. 2, 2005 — and Tomjanovich remained tied to the Lakers until this year in an informal role. But Tomjanovich’s agreement to provide periodic scouting and consulting for the team has now expired, and he won’t be retained. It remains possible Tomjanovich could remain in touch in a distant, different way, as he and son Trey recently made a presentation to Mike Brown’s new Lakers coaching staff about hiring them for their basketball statistical program. Trey Tomjanovich has provided software to the Lakers before, and his father’s reports to Jackson’s staff became increasingly stats-based.” Rudy T at Laker's headquarters in 2017
Rudy finally left the Lakers cause Magic got rid of him https://www.espn.com/blog/nba/rumors/post/_/id/42676/rumor-central-lakers-rudy-tomjanovich-part-ways According to Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News, Rudy Tomjanovich and his son, Trey Tomjanovich, are no longer employed by the Los Angeles Lakers. According to Medina, a team spokesperson said their departures are "part of the reorganization of basketball operations" under Lakers president of basketball operations Magic Johnson and general manager Rob Pelinka.' Rudy Tomjanovich was the head coach of the Lakers to start the 2004-05 NBA season after signing a five-year, $30 million deal, but he lasted just 43 games due to health issues. Since that time he's served as a consultant and scout for the team.
Rudy needs to be on Rockets payroll immediately. He also needs to be well compensated. Somebody's severely dropped the ball
