湖人老闆Jeanie Buss受訪，以下節錄部分問題。
Injuries were a huge factor. But several, Including myself, also argued last s
eason’s shortcomings stemmed from the roster construction with the Westbrook
trade, the depth required to make that happen and having a veteran-heavy team.
How did you view that part?
記者：(上賽季失敗)傷病是很大原因，但包括我在內的一些人都認為上賽季的不足之處來
自於龜龜交易後的陣容組成以及老將過多，你怎麼看？
Many members of the media, when that trade was made, thought it was going to p
ut us in the top of the conference. We didn’t live up to our expectations. Th
e injury to Anthony Davis changes your whole dynamic because so much of our te
am depends on him. Now you’re missing a vital piece. Everything else gets thr
own off.
珍妮：當那筆交易達成時，許多媒體都認為這會幫助我們在分區名列前茅，我們沒有達到
我們的期望，AD的受傷改變了球隊的整個狀況，因為我們球隊太依賴AD了，我們缺少一個
重要部分，其他的一切都被打亂了。
I’m not here to make excuses. It wasn’t acceptable. We have to get better. H
opefully, injuries will not devastate us the way they did this past season. We
’ve made significant changes. But we’re operating in a salary-cap system. So
there are not a lot of tools that we have to make changes to our roster. As t
ime goes on, you do your best. That’s what our basketball operations is doing
.
我不是來找藉口的，這不是可以接受的，我們必須變得更好，希望傷病不會像去年那樣給
我們帶來毀滅性的打擊。我們已經做出了重大改變，但由於薪資上限，我們沒有太多的方
法來改變我們的陣容。隨著時間的推移，你會盡力而為的，這就是我們的籃球營運部門正
在做的事。
And so even with last season, do you still have full confidence in your basket
ball operations?
記者：所以哪怕上賽季打成這樣，你仍然對自己的籃球營運充滿信心嗎？
Absolutely. Yes.
珍妮：肯定是的。
短評或心得：
珍妮認為主要原因是AD的受傷
