Heat President Pat Riley Spoke With Magic Johnson, But Will Not Join Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers, before proceeding any further with their offseason, must find a replacement for Magic Johnson at the president of basketball operations position.

Pat Riley, who is currently the Miami Heat president, has been rumored as a potential candidate.

Riley’s Heat missed the 2019 NBA playoffs in what was Dwyane Wade’s final season, leading some to believe he may want out. However, he quickly put that speculation to bed, saying that he plans on staying with the Heat for the rest of his career.
