Without Jerry Buss, will Lakers remain in good hands

The death of Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss takes the questions beyond whether the franchise that won 10 NBA titles under him can salvage this season. The uncertainty now is whether the Lakers can sustain their lofty status in coming years.
Buss died Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He had been undergoing cancer treatment.
With this season's Lakers struggling at 25-29 and 10th in the Western Conference entering the second half ot the season, team spokesman John Black said Buss had prepared the franchise for the transition ahead. His son Jim, the Lakers' executive vice president of player personnel, has been running the basketball operations since 2011. His daughter, Jeanie, has overseen the business side.
"The future of the organization will remain unchanged. Dr. Buss set it up years in advance — he planned for the team to remain with the family," Black said. "As far as the operation and running of the team, that will be unchanged."
