[Charania] Magic steps down as President of Basketball Operations (*Walton gone)

[GreenFaith1819]

LaVar and Lebron taking control of the Lakers!   

Lavar wins.

I don't know why it would hurt in regards to FAs. If an all-star wants to play with Lebron, they will go to LA. Magic Johnson is a people person, but he was just assembling the pieces. 'Cleaning house' maybe the best thing for that franchise right now.

I would LOVE to see Lebron traded to like...nevermind, it doesn't really get worse than CLE.

Woj is going off on Magic

Since taking over as president of the Lakers, Magic Johnson never fully committed to the job. Often he was traveling and away from the team. His office hours were limited. He didn't do a lot of scouting. Running an NBA team takes a tremendous commitment of time and energy.

Lakers coaching staff fully expected to be fired in hours after the final game of the season. They had believed they were gone for months. Now? Magic quits in public, saying he's too scared to tell Jeanie Buss face-to-face. What an embarrassing episode for a historic franchise.

So -- Magic quit at the podium without telling Jeannie. That's pretty bush league

Anyone know what Phil Jackson is up to these days?

Magic Johnson says he likes to be free to congratulate players such as Russell Westbrook when he hit the 20–20-20 mark. Says he couldn’t be himself and he hasn’t informed Jeanie Buss yet.

====================
HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Dude quit so he could tweet

[csfansince60s]

Hope Fakers don’t hire David Griffin.

He could resurrect that team.

I think there could more to the story as well that perhaps we don't know yet.

LOL Woj and literally every reporter out there (LA locals or national) are ripping apart Magic. Or at least emphasizing how he was more awful as a GM than originally thought

Lol it’s nice to know that no matter how disappointed and frustrated we were with our season nothing compares to this dumpster fire.

Especially when he talks about her being a friend and sister.

what a jerk .

he has screwed up the Lakers worse than ever .....now he wants to run before the roof caves in ....he sees Lebron is finished .....roster is screwed up ....one mistake after another.   

[RJ87]

He should've put his big boy pants on and told Jeanie and Rob face to face.

On a different topic, Anthony Davis shows up at his team's regular season finale with a shirt saying "that's all folks"(lol.)

This press conference is like watching a Ricky Gervais show, just keeps getting more and more uncomfortable and awkward.
