The Los Angeles Lakers have been in the news for all the wrong reasons it seems recently. However, a lot of it has been self-inflicted and deserved.

  1. Before the Lakers’ last game of the season, Magic Johnson resigned as the president of basketball operations via live press conference, because he was tired of dealing with “backstabbing and whispering.”
  2. A few days after the 2018-2019 season was over the Lakers head coach, Luke Walton left to lead the Sacramento Kings.
  3. The Lakers wanted to sign Monty Williams to take over as the head coach, but he went a different route and inked a lucrative deal to lead the Phoenix Suns
  4. Rob Pelinka then turned his full attention to Tyronn Lue, but his contract discussions to become the Lakers head coach hit a snag and he didn’t join the Purple and Gold.
