Lakers Name Magic Johnson President of Bball Ops

[Chief Macho]

I could see him being attractive to lure free agents again.  The drafting and trading parts with the cap are yet to be determined.   He should follow Elways plan and get the best people at those types of things around him.

I want the Lakers to be good...good for the rivalry.

It was a matter of time before Kupchak will be taken over, just weird that it happened right when there's days left on the trade deadline.

So, I guess the Lakers will now SIGN ALL THE FREE AGENTS next year?

I want them good...and us MUCH better!

Apparently the Lakers also fired their longtime PR head, which insiders are expressing even more surprise at on Twitter. Massive shakeup with incredibly odd timing.

I'd guess that failing to close the Boogie trade was the last nail in the coffin for Buss/Kupchak.

TP I will bet you are right. Good instinct.

The return of the Lakers pretty much hinges on what Jerry West does.

Nobody the Lakers have now is a NBA building icon.   Just rich people and names. .....more Doc Rivers types.

F they land Jerry .   He ll do the right things ...the rest can't figure out .

Hopefully the Warriors owner won't let this happen.

Jeanie Buss fired her brother ! crazy. I thought he was part owner.
They are looking for a GM. They should consider Sam Hinkie.

I can't believe I'm going to have to follow the Lakers just to be updated on what could be a comedy show.

This is going to be fun. LOL at the Jimmer comment...

Get on the phone Danny!

Larry Nance Jr would look good in green!

Don't forget this gem:

Earvin Magic Johnson ‏@MagicJohnson  6 Mar 2014

 The only way San Antonio or Miami don't win the championship is if neither team makes the finals.

Checks out.

Bad idea.

Unless they plan to have a good supporting cast and use Magic as the nominal figurehead, this is the wrong move.

He does not have the experience (and IMO he doesn't have the character/attitude either) for this kind of post.
