Lakers Rumors: LeBron James ‘Stunned’ By Magic Johnson’s Resignation, Still ‘Stands Behind’ Jeanie Buss And Organization

Prior to the conclusion of the 2018-19 NBA season, Los Angeles Lakers president of basketball operations Magic Johnson shockingly resigned.

As most assumed Johnson would fire head coach Luke Walton, there is uncertainty as no one within the organization knew about the announcement.

All of the attention is on LeBron James now, who signed a four-year, $154 million deal in free agency and missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2004-05 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
