Raffy Ledesma
It’s been a long time com-ing but better late than never. After years of being the league’s laughing stock, the once proud and mighty Lakers franchise has finally pressed the long awaited reset button. Owner and president Jeanie Buss fired long-time general manager Mitch Kupchak and her brother executive vice-president for basketball operations Jim Buss. Another victim of this reset is Lakers publicist John Black. Jeanie Buss put Lakers legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson in charge as president of basketball operations.
