MASSIVE SHAKE-UP with the L.A. Lakers ... Jeanie Buss just FIRED General Manager Mitch Kupchak and booted her brother, Jim Buss, from his role as Exec. Vice President of Basketball Operations. Magic Johnson is the new President of Basketball Operations. YOU HEAR THAT? MAGIC JOHNSON IS CALLING THE SHOTS!!!! Jeanie -- the Governor of the Lakers -- explains, "Today I took a series of actions I believe will return the Lakers to the heights Dr. Jerry Buss demanded and our fans rightly expect." "Effective immediately, Earvin Johnson will be in charge of all basketball operations and will report directly to me. Our search for a new General Manager to work with Earvin and Coach Luke Walton is well underway and we hope to announce a new General Manager in short order." "Together, Earvin, Luke and our new General Manager will establish the foundation for the next generation of Los Angeles Lakers greatness."
Anti-viral drugs have come a long way
Would be great to get him..Mitch is the one that signed Deng to a multi million dollar contract..what the heck was he thinking?? We used to call him asleep at the switch mitch for a reason..good guy but really bad negotiating skills
Looks like the late Bill Nunn.
Yeah he only won the championship 50% of the time, total loser.
WTH? Really, that’s his daughter????? No comment.
I believe he is free from the virus. Either way, I respect him no more due to his support for Obama. Looks like racism to me as I do not remember him ever getting into politics before the boy king ran for POTUS.
Uh.no...it is actually his “son” . I don’t know if he is going for transgender or what..I haven’t really read up on it.
the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!
Look at the teams he had. Stacked. All he had to do was pass out Gatorade.
And yet all those supreme players combine for 1 championship when coached by anybody not named Phil Jackson.
I don’t keep up with NBA but that pic was sickening to me.
Hope so. That will ensure the Lakers don't win another championship.
Del Harris had the exact same Lakers team Jackson had and did nothing with them. A coach’s job is to max out their talent. Jackson could not have done a single thing better. No bad teams win championships.
“Someone needs to secretly give him another test to expose the hoax.”
“I’m cured, it’s a miracle!”
