Magic Johnson claims he resigned as the Lakers president because the ownership wouldn't let him fire Luke Walton I thought I had the power to do what I wanted to do I wanted to fire Luke Walton he wasn't the right guy or a great coach I didn't want to fracture our relationship so I just exit

Colin Cowherd Lakers didnt want to re-sign LeBron They really didnt I trust my sources Lakers didn't want to be bullies and say LeBron get out of here They didnt want to alienate Rich Paul who could have great players we want to sign Let's let Rich Paul and LeBron win the PR game today

KD on why he left the Warriors It wasn't the argument with Draymond it was the way Kerr acted like it didn't happen Myers tried to discipline and put the mask over everything We had to get all that shit out The vibe between all that made shit weird to me I'd rather us be who we say we are

Lakers legend and five-time NBA champion Derek Fisher A lot of people in LA didn't love LeBron's time here

Vlade Divac on why he didn't draft Luka I already had Fox who I had a good relationship with so I would have to trade him The small market was a perfect fit for Fox Luka is a big market player if I get him I may lose him down the road

Max Kellerman The team wouldve functioned better had Luka dribbled a little less LeBron been playing point more I felt like LeBron needed to assert himself a little more Rich Paul Youre not wrong

Rich Paul On LeBron James not wanting to be a third option on the Lakers behind Luka and Austin When the coach asks you to do something and play a certain way he doesn't know how to buck Obviously I'm not the third option But if this is what I'm being asked to do then I'm going to do that
