As the dust settles from Magic Johnson's abrupt resignation from the Los Angeles Lakers Tuesday, unanswered questions around the franchise are trickling in. Most recently comes a report that Rob Pelinka will retain his job as general manager and that LeBron James supports owner Jeanie Buss and Lakers management. Pelinka, the former agent of Lakers star Kobe Bryant, urged Buss to hire Johnson as president of basketball operation in 2017 and was brought on as Johnson's general manager shortly after Johnson was installed.
