Since Magic Johnson became president of basketball operations, the Los Angeles Lakers have been fined for tampering twice, investigated two other times (that we know of) and earned a reputation — justified or not — as a team that skirts the rules.
Some of those facts ignore some context on their own — Johnson himself only earned one of the fines, for example, and it was for some seemingly innocuous comments about Giannis Antetokounmpo winning a championship in Milwaukee — but the fact of the matter is that even if the recent call for an investigation from the New Orleans Pelicans and the one the NBA instituted on behalf of the Philadelphia 76ers did not yield anything (yet), the Lakers still have to be careful.
