Remember when Luke Walton was preaching patience with his young Los Angeles Lakers team? It turns out not everyone in the organization wants to wait, particularly his boss Magic Johnson.
According to a report by Adrian Wojnarowski and Dave McMenamin of ESPN, Johnson held a meeting in which he reprimanded Walton for the Lakers’ slow start. In fact, the meeting was so intense that it spread throughout the organization rapidly, according to the report.
Johnson’s aggressive meeting tone circulated to individuals throughout the organization, including to principal owner Jeanie Buss, league sources said.
