The organization is a total joke. Jeanne Buss hiring Magic in the first place was idiotic. While her brother was worse she doesn't know what she's doing.
For LeBron it was either LA or NY for business and lifestyle reasons. That's all. His talk about "best basketball minds" was either lying or stupid because nobody in the Lakers organization (or Knicks for that matter) fits that bill.

Damn, we all knew Lebron could get coaches fired, but Presidents? Dude's got too much power.

Luke's definitely out. Magic got the OK to fire him and quit instead.

In retrospect, it's not that surprising. This is the same way he quit coaching, his 'talkshow', and sports broadcasting. The man lives his life on a whim. More power to him, I guess. If you're rich enough and fortunate enough to be able to do so, why not? Sucks for everybody else around you, though. The Lakers are still in turmoil and Polinka is still in power...thanks for the helping hand, Magic.
I feel bad for Wade and Nowitzki. They probably had this idea of their final games taking up the spotlight, but then ol' Magic Johnson comes around to take it from them.

Magic probably disagreed with most everything going on with the GM & ownership's support of him. Now he can speak his mind without consequence. Apparently Magic was more of a go-through for cache purposes.
Now if the Lakers fire Polinka & Walton, only to want to hire more chummy Lakers alums then the bottom truly has hit. The f'n Lakers should try for a change not being so friendly with their in clan of alums. As soon as you start working with friends & disagreeing with them, it's toxic all around.
Maybe Kobe Bryant & Shaq should take over, kick everyone out.

I would love to see Jerry West come back but I already know that he won't do it, He is with the Clippers now.
That said, I actually really wouldn't be surprised if Jeanie Buss tried to get Phil Jackson to replace Magic Johnson.

I wasn't shocked by this but I didn't really know why. I had this perception of him that he tends to do some things for a little while and then move on to something else. No idea where it came from because I didn't follow him much or follow basketball all that much.
Listening now to the Bill Simmons podcast right now and they're talking about this and indeed he apparently just "quits" a lot. Whether it's as a coach, a talk show host, an NBA show co host with Simmons, or as the GM of the Lakers. He mentioned quite a few examples. Did he quit as an "owner" of the Dodgers too?
