OMG, this is amazing.... The Lakers are the gift that keeps on giving.

The gift is dog poop, but its spectacular dog poop.

Lakers are far better off than when Jim Buss was running things. They have Lebron, tons of trade pieces, and a max slot. I mean yeh, the Zu trade was garbage, but I think Magic is being made a scapegoat for Klutch. Don't blame him stepping down.

didnt he quit his analyst job at ESPN after only a year or so also?

I feel like Magic doesn't know what a real job is. His entire life is pretty much basketball and investing. (advocacy also)

Magic saving Jeanie Buss from herself (https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/253261/Jeanie-Buss-Still-Has-Complete-Faith-In-Magic-Johnson-Rob-Pelinka-To-Run-Lakers). What a horrible job he did with the Lakers.

I can't stop laughing at this. Dude literally just peaced out of running the Lakers with no heads up to anyone.

Great hire Jeanie!

He realized where this ship was going. This season for the Lakers has been a complete fail and will continue to get worse as long as they build around LeBron James.
