The NBA is making sure that the relationship (they are engaged) between Jeanie Buss & Phil Jackson doesn’t create any conflict of interest issues. They have reportedly put parameters in place for the couple. Hit the jump details…
Via ESPN:
“The Knicks’ hiring of Phil Jackson is subject to the league’s conflict of interest rules,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass told ESPN.com. “To avoid even the appearance of a conflict, we have addressed the issue with the Knicks and Lakers to ensure that the relationship between Jeanie Buss and Phil Jackson will not affect how the teams operate.”
Buss, the Lakers’ president and representative at board of governors meetings, and Jackson, who was named the Knicks’ president on Tuesday, got engaged in December 2012. They’ve been dating since 1999.
Since the engagement, sources say the league has gotten more serious about the two being on the up and up.
