Jeannie needs to do whatever it takes to get Jerry West and tell him to do whatever necessary to get a rebuilt roster for Walton to work with - getting rid of LeBron included.

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.


I always thought this was by design? Surely they didn’t want him to actually run the team, they just wanted him to just add publicity and lure big-time players to play for the Lakers.

It is funny, because he likely believed his name along can get players.

Gonna be so epic to see how LeBron handles the next 2 seasons being forced to play for Luke Walton.

His titles came under Pat Riley and Spoe(who Lebron was trying to get rid of) and David Griffin was hired in Cleveland when Lebron was gone.

Why keep Walton? Why do people think he’s a good coach? Zero evidence of such.

And yet Gilbert did not want to pay him to keep him around.
