In February of 2017 Jeanie Buss announced that Magic Johnson would be taking over as President of Basketball Operations for the Los Angeles Lakers. In the same move she fired General Manager, Mitch Kupchak and her own brother, Vice President of Basketball Operations, Jim Buss. She was so confident in the move that she broke it down like a real G with this statement:
“Today I took a series of actions I believe will return the Lakers to the heights Dr. Jerry Buss demanded and our fans rightly expect. Effective immediately, Earvin Johnson will be in charge of all basketball operations and will report directly to me. Our search for a new general manager to work with Earvin and coach Luke Walton is well underway and we hope to announce a new general manager in short order. Together, Earvin, Luke and our new general manager will establish the foundation for the next generation of Los Angeles Lakers greatness.”
Well playas, on April 9, 2018 the dun quit without even hollering at her. He said that Jeannie was undermining him and that Bob Pelinka, the General Manager, was stabbing him in the back. Ole boy even ran over to ESPN’s First Take to get some sympathy for pulling a sucker move and quitting without sitting down with Jeannie or LeBron and at least telling them that he was out. That was a sucker move all day. No way around it. You can’t quit any job like that and especially if you’re running around calling Jeannie your sister. C’mon playa!!!
Now that moves are being made and the ship is starting come together he’s got to be sitting around looking like a darn fool and that’s the edited version. Magic only wanted the title and didn’t want to put in the work like I said from jump. He wanted to take the credit for the work being done but didn’t want to do the grind of putting it together.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! He even took credit for bringing LeBron to town and was riding that cloud until ole boy got hurt. However, he didn’t have much to do with King James coming to LA because he was on his way out there anyway because of all the projects he’s working on.
Once LeBron got hurt and Dell Demps (New Orleans GM) committed career suicide by not trading Anthony Davis during the season it wasn’t fun anymore and he dipped. That’s real talk. Everybody and their baby’s momma knew that the trade had to happen this summer with the Lakers because no other team in the league was going to give up pieces for a cat that was only going to stick around until next summer.
However, Magic’s ego got in the way and he bounced before the trade could go down. Now he’s got to be sick that Rob Pelinka, the very guy that he cried to Stephen A. Smith about stabbing him in the back, is looking like a genius today. He’s got both LeBron and Anthony Davis on the roster and $32 million in cap space to potentially sign another superstar.
Now that both Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson will be sidelined for at least a year the Lakers can win the NBA title with me running the point and Magic knows it. That dun’s got to be curled over in the fetal position right now. Kawhi’s even interested in hollerin’ at the Lakers but get this playa, he wants to meet with them with Magic in the room. Sick do you hear me? Absolutely sick!!!
You can’t take the job and not want to do it. Then get upset when boyz call you out for not doing your freakin’ job. Yo Magic!!! I’ve got some Pepto Bizmol for that upset stomach you’ve got bruh because the Lakers are about to win about 4 or 5 more titles with LeBron and AD. Book that playa and stop me when I start lyin’!
