Los Angeles Lakers rumors have really picked up in recent days with the front office and coaching staff shakeups. The chances of the Los Angeles Lakers hiring a big-named NBA executive like Bob Myers, Jerry West, or Pat Riley to run the Lakers’ basketball operations in the wake of Magic Johnson‘s departure seem further from reality today than ever.
Two days ago, it was reported Lakers’ general manager Rob Pelinka would not only “stay on in his job, if anything, but his power will also grow.”
Magic Johnson had just stepped down as Lakers president of basketball operations with no warning or plan in place.
