Didn't LA draft Magic? Weren't they the worst team the previous year? I would say that was "drafting into a new era"... unless I'm misunderstanding what you are saying.

I thirk the Lakers were third in the West in the 1978-79 season finishing 47-35

I think they had the rights to the first pick in the 1979 draft because that had belonged to the New Orleans/Utah Jazz but they lost that pick to the Lakers because the commissioner at the time thought them signing Gail Goodrich meant they should give up the rights to their first pick in the draft... terrible terrible outcome for the Jazz
