Magic Johnson says the Lakers need to not let Tim Harris interfere in basketball decisions, thinks there are too many voices influencing Jeanie Buss

Amid the various inflammatory details Magic Johnson offered up in his appearance Monday morning on ESPN’s First Take, none were more concerning than his description of the inner workings of the Los Angeles Lakers front office.

It sounds, based on Johnson’s summary, like a chaotic situation to say the least:

“Jeanie (Buss) will always make the final decisions, but she huddles up with Linda Rambis and probably now, I think Phil Jackson advises her a little bit, and now Kurt Rambis is home. And I was happy Kurt was back because I wanted more basketball experience with the Lakers.
