The owner of Los Angeles Lakers is not one to often appear in the media, so all her statements generate great interest. In the lead-up to the season, Jeanie Buss publicly expressed confidence in both JJ Redick and Bronny James, who have been under media scrutiny since joining the team.

There are many doubts regarding the two summer stars at Los Angeles Lakers, but what is clear is that they have the full support of the owner, Jeanie Buss. It's unusual for her to get involved in sports matters, and she may not speak about it again if the season starts poorly for the team. However, it's evident that the Los Angeles franchise is willing to be patient with these two significant additions to the team.

"We wanted to do something different, choose a candidate who brings a fresh perspective and can develop young talent. I don't want to pressure him by claiming he will be successful; we need to give him time and be patient as he builds his project. I'm very impressed by his staff, with Scott Brooks and Nate McMillan. Their experience will greatly help JJ establish himself as the head coach," stated Buss.

There was also time to address Bronny James, whose poor performance in the Summer League caused quite a stir. "We need to let the boy work and have the opportunity to prove that he deserves to wear this jersey. What I see in him is hard work, daily dedication, and a strong desire to achieve great things," she concluded, avoiding speculation on whether his future might lie in the G-League after the initial season matches.
