Magic wasn't so bright he deserved the boot in the anish. He was asked to leave nicely by Jeanie. Question is who replaces him? Jackson as GM or maybe he replaces Walton? Wild guess off the top of my thin head . Some here thought Walton was leaving first. Not me. Your boy Rondo.... new LA coach... and he'll work cheap.
You heard it here first.

Magic Johnson Steps Down As Lakers’ President Of Basketball OpsApril 9th 2019 at 8:00pm CST by Luke Adams
Holding an impromptu press conference on Tuesday evening, Magic Johnson announced that he has stepped down as the Lakers‘ president of basketball operations (Twitter link via Bill Oram of The Athletic). According to Johnson, he hadn’t informed Lakers owner Jeanie Buss of his decision before publicly announcing his decision. Referring to Buss as a sister, Johnson said he “had more fun” when he was able to be “the big brother and the ambassador” rather than the Lakers’ ultimate decision-maker (Twitter link via Oram). “Somebody’s going to have to tell my boss because I knew I couldn’t be face-to-face and tell her,” Johnson said, per Oram. “… I couldn’t stand to tell her.” The shocking announcement comes on the heels of a report from Oram which suggested that Johnson has been viewed as an “absentee executive.” According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (via Twitter), Johnson never fully committed to the job and had limited office hours during his tenure. He was traveling and away from the team frequently, and didn’t do much scouting, per Woj. Speaking to reporters tonight, Johnson said that his position with the Lakers hasn’t allowed him to be a statesman for the NBA, a role he enjoys and one he’s looking forward to resuming (Twitter link via Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com). Johnson also repeatedly said that he was happier before being hired by the assuming the role of Lakers head of basketball operations, adding that it’s a “monkey off [his] back” to step away from the position (Twitter links via Oram and Brad Turner of The L.A. Times). Johnson’s surprise resignation raises many more questions about the Lakers’ upcoming offseason. There was a widespread belief that head coach Luke Walton would be let go at season’s end, and while Johnson said tonight that his decision wasn’t about Walton, he also acknowledged that it made him uncomfortable to be in a position to be in a position between Buss and Walton, who are close (Twitter link via Oram). “[Buss] told me yesterday you have the power [to make the decision on Walton],” Johnson said tonight, according to Oram (Twitter link). “… I didn’t want to put her or myself in that situation.” With Johnson no longer around to make that decision, it’s not clear if Walton is now in position to keep his job or if Magic’s replacement would still want to bring in his own coach. The Lakers’ coaching staff had believed for months that they’d be fired at the end of the season, Wojnarowski notes (via Twitter).
F--k Magic ...
... and the horse he rode in on.

Jackson has admitted to using marijuana and LSD in the past.[53] In 2010, he said he did not believe that prisons should be filled with people prosecuted for marijuana, but called California's Proposition 19, which would have legalized marijuana, poorly written.
LA IS PERFECT. Jackson might want to try the Meth Pipe its the rage in LA and he could use a boost of energy.

Or as they say way down South....
it tastes like azz.

When your players of the game are RJ Hunter and Robert Williams............it might be the season finale.
49 wins ain't 50, but we are playing better, especially Hayward, and I think we'll be a very tough out.

We know who that was, don't we!!!

That happened on 12/21/18 to be precise in the midst of their 2nd early season 3 game losing streak.
Hard to win 70 when you are losing games in clumps of 2's and 3's in Nov and Dec..... and the season only got worse from there.
