Over/Under is 3 years. I dont have faith in Magic. He is just being thrown into the position.

Jeanie just made the guy that said agreed with Byron that Dion Waiters would be the next Dwyane Wade the Vp of Basketball Operations.

Not to mention the guy that essentially said a few days ago he had no clue about the new CBA or how contracts worked,

Jeanie hired him as President of Basketball Operations?

All Jeanie wanted to do was remove Jim and Mitch.

Jeanie can go [expletive] herself. The Lakers will go NOWHERE till she is fired.

He doesn't know how the CBA works or the contracts in it.

Hostile takeover by Jeannie. Funny thing is it will be on Magic if things don't improve or go worse.

The Lakers don't even have a GM now. So much for any moves at the deadline.

The Lakers signed Mitch Kupchak as a player on July 23, 1981. He had been an employee of the team every day since then.
