We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers.
Magic Johnson questioned the Lakers management:
“Jim is trying to do it himself and trying to prove to everybody that this was the right decision that my dad gave me the reins,” Johnson said Tuesday on ESPN’s “First Take.” “He’s not consulting anybody that can help him achieve his goals and dreams to win an NBA championship.”
Buss became the Lakers’ executive vice president of basketball operations — the top person on the basketball decision-making side — after his father, legendary owner Jerry Buss, died in February 2013.
However, the past two Lakers seasons have been filled with tumult. The team posted a franchise-high 55 losses last season and, at 13-38 entering Tuesday’s game against the Denver Nuggets, is on pace to lose even more games this season.”

NBA.com discuss the young talent evolving from the team:
“Just 27 years old, the idea of being a “veteran leader” is foreign to Wayne Ellington. But just one month after serving as a spot starter that occasionally would not even come off the bench, the six-year pro now finds himself in that unfamiliar role.
Ellington is the most seasoned player in the Lakers’ starting lineup, and it’s not even close. The other four members — Jordan Clarkson, Ryan Kelly, Tarik Black and Robert Sacre — have a combined four years of prior NBA experience.
“Obviously I haven’t been in that situation of being the oldest, most veteran guy on the court at a time,” Ellington said at practice Monday. “I don’t think I’ve ever been in that position, let alone being the most veteran starter. (I’m) just trying to give from the experiences that I’ve had. … Obviously I’m still trying to get better myself, so it’s a different mix that we have going on.”
