I think Jerry Buss is pretty hands-off except for outlining how much he wants to spend. I think Jim Buss is a bit more involved... but I think the reason the Lakers have the roster they do (and have had the rosters they've had) is largely because Mitch Kupchak (and before him Jerry West) have put those rosters together. Not the owner. I do think that Jerry Buss is more than willing to spend tho'.

to sum up down the line its the owners who decide, no one aside from the owners can decide what to do with their money without the owners approving it or knowing it. thats how it goes any where.

Well... I never really said any different. I never said the GMs make the decisions without ownership's knowledge or agreement.
The deals are put together by the GMs. The GMs do the work, the GMs orchestrate the trades. Yup - the owners sign off on 'em.

I guess what I said earlier was a bit confusing...
