Lakers Rumors: Luke Walton Learned About Magic Johnson’s Resignation Via Text While Preparing For Blazers Game

The Los Angeles Lakers have dealt with more turmoil in the past week or so than most franchises deal with in five seasons.

In the final game of the 2018-19 NBA season, Magic Johnson unexpectedly resigned as president of basketball operations. And, even though it seemed as if head coach Luke Walton might keep his job, he and the Lakers ‘mutually parted ways’ shortly after that.

Although a report has since come out saying that Walton wanted to stay for his fourth season, it doesn’t change the dysfunction happening in Los Angeles.
