Lakers controlling owner Jeanie Buss has put the pressure on Magic Johnson to deliver in free agency this summer.

Coming off of an underwhelming season, the Los Angeles Lakers will go into the offseason with more questions than answers and most, if not all, of those questions will have to be answered by president of basketball operations Magic Johnson.

Johnson was brought on by team president and controlling owner Jeanie Buss in 2017 with the hope that he’d right the ship that has been sinking in Los Angeles over the last five years. Johnson took a big step in the right direction last summer, when he signed LeBron James to a four-year, $153.
