Lakers: Magic wants to "call the shots" with Lakers

[Thread]

& 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.

It just gets better and better:

Magic Johnson, who was hired earlier this month as an adviser to 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."

Man his player IQ and Analyst IQ are not the same

So he wants to call all the shots yet he wants Kobe to join him?


Makes sense

I would call, 'What role you want? ... If you've got a day, just give me that day.'

LOL. What the .

Magic : what role you want?
Kobe : player coach
Magic : done

When you thought the Celtics and Habs were bad with their bringing back old farts mentality, the Lakers do worse

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.

He wants to bring in Kobe, too.
