Letters: Like Magic, patience with Lakers disappears

Let’s see. Magic admonishes Luke Walton for his coaching. Let’s hope Magic did not convey any strategy he used in his 1993-94 Laker season when he abruptly quit as coach after going 5-11.

Magic may be Luke’s boss but Jeanie Buss is Magic’s boss. Last year, Luke had nothing to work with, remember? How many people do you know that will thrive and deliver great results while being yelled at in a front-office environment for all to hear? Not a smart move.

He did exactly what the situation called for. All the talent in the world is in this team, and if they’re not winning, it’s a product of poor coaching.
