Lakers News: Jeanie Buss ‘Will Always Defer’ To Magic Johnson On Basketball Decisions

The 2018-19 Los Angeles Lakers season is coming to an end and once again, the franchise will be looking towards the summer in hopes of landing another superstar.

Though owner Jeanie Buss oversees everything, she appointed president of basketball operations Magic Johnson and general manager Rob Pelinka to be in charge of the front office.

The returns on Johnson and Pelinka have been mixed so far. Obviously, they were able to sign LeBron James which can’t be overstated, but some of their other moves have been questioned by many. Even still, Buss has not lost faith in Johnson’s ability to lead the Lakers back to prominence.
