Proof Magic Johnson is going to be a 'great' president of basketball operations

[slightly biased bias fan]

Here is a prelude to some of the fantastic decisions he will be making for the Lakers in the form of old Tweets:

"For all of you out there questioning Jimmer Fredette of BYU, he is the real deal."

"I'm impressed w/ the Chicago Bulls starting Rondo, Butler, Wade & MCW off the bench they have the 3rd best group of guards in the league.."

"I love Okafor because he's won a state championship in HS, NCAA Title at Duke and he can bring that championship pedigree to the Lakers."

"The Bucks just acquired the next Jason Kidd in Michael Carter-Williams."

"Great move by Phil Jackson, James Dolan & Steve Mills, hiring Derek Fisher as the new head coach for the New York Knicks"

'The Dallas Mavericks' trade for Rajon Rondo puts them in position to be a contender in the Western Conference"

Keep it up Magic haha

I've heard Danny told Magic "You're like Trump, and I am Putin".

Translation: "You're a fraud and I'm gonna play you like a fiddle!"

Why go political here? 

I think given Magic's tenure as a coach there is a lot to worry about for LA fans.  Which is fine with me.

TP, sounds like the perfect PR for La La land to me.

Well, you have to ask Danny...

I won't tease the faith. There is a possibility he might be a great president. Not saying it is 100, but we had enough trouble with them already and this guy is called Magic for a reason.

Letting Jerry West go is the biggest mistake their franchise have made.

TP to slightly biased bias fan.  I do not see the big deal about Magic being an executive.  One of the greatest NBA players of all time, yes.  Take a look at the executive careers of Isaiah Thomas and Michael Jordan.  No guarantee Magic will fare better.

True. But that is what they said when he said I want to bring Cinemas and Starbucks to the ghetto,
and revitalize these neighborhoods.

If he can keep his job .  I don't think the Buss boys like him calling the shots for their team .

Lakers fans might be better off if the NBA stepped in and forced them to sell the franchise to a new owner.

Yup.....lucky for Boston .  LOL

Lakers are STILL whining about the NBA nixing the CP3 deal.  ( small violins playing in the background)

Magic running the Lakers is very good news for the C's

[green_bballers13]

Magic is getting in at rock bottom. There's definitely a chance there for him to succeed. What if they land Jackson in the draft?

Russell
Jackson
Ingram
Randle
FA

There's potential there.

Good question here. There's no need to advertise who is a snowflake.

I don't think you guys are understanding the original posters comment.

Ainge LITERALLY said this in an interview with Abby and Scal the day after the trade deadline. He was making light of the fact that Magic probably didn't even know how to make a call yet to other Cms.

Relax guys
