LOS ANGELES LAKERS: MAGIC JOHNSON NAMED PRESIDENT OF BASKET OPERATIONS AT THE LAKERS



Los Angeles Lakers has undergone a huge shakeup as Magic Johnson becomes President...


Johnson is now President of Basketball Operations after returning to the Lakers as an adviser...General Manager Mitch Kupchak was fired and Jim Buss is no longer executive vice president of Basketball Operations...




Team owner Jeanie Buss said "I took a series of actions I think will return the Lakers to the heights [late owner] Dr. Jerry Buss demanded and our fans rightly expect. Effective immediately, Earvin Johnson will be in charge of all basketball operations and will report directly to me. Our search for a new general manager to work with Earvin and coach Luke Walton is well underway and we hope to announce a new general manager in short order. Together, Earvin, Luke and our new general manager will establish the foundation of the next generation of Los Angeles Lakers greatness."
