Another Buss steers into drama

With Jerry, Jim and Jeanie Buss all speaking out about Kobe Bryant in recent weeks, it leaves Janie and Johnny as the only Buss family members not to voice an opinion on the matter. Oh, wait. Make that just Janie.
Johnny Buss, the oldest son of Lakers owner Jerry Buss, sent a bulletin to friends on his MySpace.com page that contained a peculiar reference to the team's nine-time All-Star.
"If you've been following the Kobe drama, I want to let you know it's not really drama … sometimes we all need to make a change in our lives and that's all it is," Buss wrote. "Popular or unpopular, when it's time, it's time. Good luck Kobe wherever you go!"
A freelance photographer, Johnny Buss is not part of the Lakers' front office and holds no decision-making authority in the day-to-day operations of the franchise. The Lakers have no plans to trade Bryant, who two weeks ago said publicly he would like to be traded.
Is this what journalism has come down to these days? Checking Myspace pages for news and printing such references in major media outlets. I'm embarrassed of the La Times and Realgm for even posting this as news.
LOL am I doing the same?

Well at least the media doesn't give everyone really stupid nicknames.

But he is the oldest son of the Lakers owner! If he had been overheard saying something similar while eating lunch, it be printed the same as this- just with Myspace and Blogs- there is a lot out there that gets picked up that wasn't there to be found before...
