Gonna try involve all aspects of running a team, from on-court drama to even *shudder* romance, for the main character, Joseph Cox, at least. Maybe if I get an idea or so.


Let's get started on this, what is hopefully, a wild ride.

Jim and Jeanie Buss were sitting in the conference room at the offices section of the Staples Center in Los Angeles California


The conference room was simple, a large black table, with a glass top, the back of the room was Lakers Purple and Gold with the Lakers Logo in the middle, and there was a window on the side that gave a stunning view of the LA Skyline.

"We need a new GM after Mitch Kupchak, I do not know what he was thinking, signing Kaman." Jim said exasperatedly, they had been at this for 4 hours now, not one of the candidates for the GM role had anything they liked.

"What about this guy?" Jeanie asked "Joseph Cox, 24 year old scout for the Heat." She handed the file to Jim.

"Good background, kinda young, went undrafted from Army's West Point in 2010, played with Thunder for a year until he was hit with a career ending ACL Tear, hmm. Let's bring him up here and interview him." Jim told Jeanie.

"Alright, I'll make the call." She said.

Joseph Cox stepped off of the private jet, it was a white Cessna Citation Bravo but it beared the Lakers Logo on the tail.

Joe was fairly suspicious of this job offer, no team, especially the Los Angeles Lakers, call up a no-name scout for an interview, they had really good scouts, but they told him it was for the GM Job. He decided to hold his opinion until he got to the Staples Center and he was interviewed.


When he first got to the stadium, he was impressed with the way it looked in Lakers colors, and then smiled at the fact that the Clippers and Lakers had to share a stadium.

He was shown to the offices by a assistant, he saw Jim and Jeanie sitting at the black conference table.

"Hello Mr. Cox, my name is Jeanie Buss and this is Jim Buss." Jeanie said, as she gestuered to Jim, who gave a nod of his head.

"We have flown you down here to interview for our GM job, so let's get to it." She said, Joe nodded.


"You have the choice between resigning Kobe Bryant or Pau Gasol, which one do you choose?" Jim asked.


"Kobe, Kobe is a franchise player, he can do everything Pau can do, he's faster and can keep up with the younger players, plus he can shoot, it's an easy decision." Joe said.


"Okay, next question. Do you feel this team can win now, with a few added pieces?" Jeanie asked.

"Most definitely, you give me free reign over this roster, I'll find you a team that can win now." Joe said.

"Alright just two more, Do you believe in building in FA or the draft?" Jim asked

"Both, we can most effectively surround our rookies with vets who can teach them the game and help them develop, it's silly to just stick to one way." Joe replied as matter-a-factly.

"Last one, How do you feel about us?" Jeanie asked

"I've seen the way you guys do things, and I like them but I don't need owners

"Alright, I think we have a good enough of a read on you to give you our decision." Jim said.


"You're hired." He said.


Joe released a breath he didn't know he was holding in.

"We'll have you escorted to your office, we look forward to seeing what you can do here in LA." Jim said.


Joe looked out the window in the Conference Room


"Sweet damn, GM of the LA Lakers....this should be fun." He thought

Joe was sitting at his desk in his office

The office was big, but simple, the backwall, like the conference room, bared Lakers Purple with the Logo in the center, a desk sat in the middle of the room, white top, white legs, but the top was a special one that allowed Joe to use an EXPO marker to write notes on(was bascially a clear glass top, kinda like the whiteboard from Numb3rs), He was working a trade at the moment, he wanted Carlos Boozer badly, this is what he had come up with so far.





Joe sighed, he wasn't sure if they would take that, sure Pau was bit more older and was more defense-oriented, but who said the Bulls would trade away Boozer, they didn't do that last year.

He was knocked out of his thoughts by a knock at his office door.

"Come in." He said.

"Mr. Cox, the first of the applicants for the secretary job are here." A office manager told him.

"Ah good, send the first one in please." He said.

The first applicant, was a women, about 5'3", black hair, blue eyes, usual looking secretary, but one thing stood out to Joe.

It was how much damn jewelry she was wearing, She had FOUR rings on one hand, two necklaces, and a pearl wristband on each wrist.

"Somebody must like her." He thought.

As it turned out later, the women didn't know a thing about basketball and he sent her out, he wanted someone who had a basketball IQ.

He turned around, and yelled at the open office door.

"Next one please!"

The next one, was someone he never expected.
