I’m sure by now we have all seen the Baxter Holmes article that was released on ESPN on Tuesday outing all the Los Angeles Lakers turmoil over the last two seasons since hiring Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka. It wasn’t pretty, to say the least.
Since its release, the Lakers are, once again, at the forefront of drama in the NBA. Ranging from Magic Johnson-spawned panic attacks for multiple staffers to a potential pathological liar as the general manager.
Add to that an owner who believes in fate over qualifications when hiring staff and the Lakers are starting to look more like a scene out of Shudder Island than an NBA organization.
