Since Magic Johnson resigned as the Los Angeles Lakers president of basketball operations more than a month ago, many still wonder what ultimately led to his surprising decision.
While Johnson did not deny wanting to fire head coach Luke Walton at the conclusion of the 2018-19 NBA season, he mentioned his frustration with the ‘backstabbing’ and ‘whispering’ that was happening. When asked for specifics, he declined at his impromptu press conference.
Since then, there have been conflicting reports about Johnson’s resignation and general manager Rob Pelinka’s reputation around the league.
