Magic wants to "call the shots" with Lakers

[Clipper Nation]

Magic Johnson already has a goal in mind more than a week after being named an adviser to Los Angeles Lakers (http://www.espn.com/nba/team/_/name/lal/los-angeles-lakers) co-owner and president Jeanie Buss.

"Working to call the shots, because it only works that way," Johnson told USA Today Sports (http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2017/02/10/magic-johnson-shot-caller-los-angeles-lakers/97732992/) when asked what he hopes his role will be. "Right now I'm advising. I get that. But at the end of the day, then we all got to come together and somebody's got to say, 'I'm making the final call,' all right? And who's that going to be? So, we'll see what happens."

Man, that sounds frightening for the Lakers, tbh..just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, too:wow

[apalisoc_9]

Do it jeanie...

Sign and trade for A young and exciting Simmons for Lou Williams.

Prob stalking Luke to try run a train on his ass tbh

I think, and this is from an outsiders POV, there is a silver lining to this madness. Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak has not worked. PERIOD. Maybe, just maybe...a change is needed? A fresh face, if you will, though not so fresh in Tragic's case but fresh'ish if that's even a word lol.


I don't know if anyone can top a summer of Mozgov-Deng haul lol but hey, stranger things has happened.



But you Go flash that magic smile.

[Chris]

Isaiah Thomas wanted to call the shots too. Not good for the Lakers future imo just another aftershock from the Kobe Effect.

Christmas came early this year.

FWIW, Thomas did a far better job than most Knicks GM.

Magic: "throw the ball into the basket"

:lol No. He has an argument for being better than Scott Layden, but that's it.

[UZER]

DeAngelo you shoot first. Then Larry Nance jr you're next. Patience Swaggy P, I'll get to you soon. Just keep it ready."

[Fabbs]

The Lakers bread n butter is the scam.
Is AIDs perhaps willing to combine finances with the Buss' and unleash millions for another rigged trade?

Like miraculously Cousins and Curry join next year. Not necc those two, but some dramatic signing(s) like MVPau for Kwame Brown.

Isiah. I highly doubt the other one will ever call shots anywhere except at the local bar.

I stand corrected my furry friend.

& it happened so calmly and neatly. We conquered every emergency brake without even a jolt. Nobody said anything to us, we just stood around watching it while (Buss) hustled into the offices where they'd once played while their father sat in soft seats around mahogany desks, that dark mahogany.

:lmao It just gets better and better:


Magic Johnson, who was hired earlier this month as an adviser to Los Angeles Lakers (http://www.espn.com/nba/team/_/name/lal/los-angeles-lakers) president and co-owner Jeanie Buss as she evaluates the direction of the franchise, said Tuesday on ESPN's First Take that he would try to get Kobe Bryant to join him in the front office if his role evolves further.

"First call I make if I'm in charge? Kobe Bryant," Johnson said. "Because Kobe understands winning. He understands, also, these players. I would call, 'What role you want? ... If you've got a day, just give me that day.'

"I'll take that. Whatever time he has, I want him to come and be a part of it."

Lakers are going to be our only challenge in 2 years especially if Magic and Mamba are calling the shots

10 rings combined and 2 of the top 5 ever

Also 2 of the smartest players ever

Its going to go the same way Jerry West did for the lakers and for us

I hate to break it to you, but the Lakers aren't going to be challenging anyone soon, especially not in the next 2 years. Magic is one of the GOATs but he failed as a coach, he failed as an analyst, and he's gonna fail as a gm. You're gonna have to stay on that Warriors bandwagon longer than you think. :lmao

[Spurtacular]

He wants to bring in Kobe, too. :lmao

[TDMVPDPOY]

whats the chances of this clown stuffing it up to drive the bastards child source of income decreasing so they have to sell, then he comes in and buys it?
