How the hell Kobe get dragged into this :mjlol:

Cool, Kobe put Rob on but this fukkery clearly stems from Lebron and his posse.

nikka tried to use his agent to push for the Davis trade and forced the lakers into this. As a result magic had to take the blame when it went south.

Magic peeped Lebrons bytchnikka tendencies and said :hubie:

He went about it the wrong way but Magic had to bounce. Couldn't really get shyt done cause everybody hated Palinka, Jeannie loves Luke, and Bron and Rich Paul have too much power and their own agenda. But I will say that he talked too much about how he has to bring stars in, dissed DLo, and said he wants to see Zo's number hanging in the rafters one day. He didn't need to do all that shyt.

Can someone link me to an article that covers all the behind the scenes fukkery?

One of the headaches and near-debacles of the final stretch of Johnson’s tenure came in late February. In what could have been a catastrophe, the Lakers needed to prevent point guard Lonzo Ball from undergoing a potential unauthorized surgery on his left ankle that was planned by estranged former business partner Alan Foster and with LaVar Ball’s knowledge, multiple team and league sources told The Athletic.

Lonzo Ball traveled to Ohio in late February to potentially go through with a procedure on his injured ankle, pushed by Foster, a source familiar with the situation told The Athletic. The family had experience with the doctor who would perform the procedure as he had also operated on LiAngelo Ball, the source said.

The Lakers found out about Ball’s situation when Lonzo Ball called General Manager Rob Pelinka, and the organization informed him that they would not allow it and could void his contract if he went through with the procedure, sources said.

Johnson and Lakers General Manager Rob Pelinka communicated with those around Lonzo, working with his then-agent Harrison Gaines to squash the procedure and bring him back to Los Angeles, sources around the team with knowledge of the situation said. Gaines declined to comment when reached by phone.

Johnson and Pelinka then accompanied Ball to his doctor appointments to ensure the guard was back on track with the Lakers’ rehab regimen, league sources said. Sources around the Lakers say Johnson frequently spent time around his players, such as Brandon Ingram and Ball, during times they were undergoing medical recovery. Ball suffered grade 3 ankle sprain on Jan. 19 and would ultimately miss the remainder of the season.
