There’s no question that the Los Angeles Lakers front office has been a laughingstock in sports for the past several months.
I was excited a few years back when Jeanie Buss gave her brother, Jim, the boot, and hired Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka to run the show for the Lakers front office. And many Lakers fans shared that same feeling because of the glamour that surrounded the two hires.
I wrote an article less than a week before Magic left the team that expressed the underwhelming performance from the front office.
At the time, the idea that Magic and Rob didn’t know what they were doing just began surfacing around the league.
