After Magic’s ’91 retirement, @Jeanie Buss prayed to God: “If you ever send us another player like @Magic Johnson, I will never take that player for granted again.” That shaped treatment of Kobe, & will no doubt influence how LA handles LeBron James unrest. theathletic.com/3144921/2022/0… – 1:13 PM

More on this storyline
That next player was Kobe Bryant. With him soon came a young agent named Rob Pelinka. But for as important as Bryant was to the Lakers, sources inside the organization have long said that not even the legendary Black Mamba wielded as much power within the organization as James now has. Bryant was never able to strong-arm the Lakers to make a move like the one James helped orchestrate for Westbrook, which has proven to be an outright disaster. The Lakers did trade Shaquille O’Neal to placate Kobe before he hit free agency in 2004, but when he was under contract like James is now they did not always give in to his demands. -via The Athletic / February 24, 2022
Why appropriate? Because James and agent Rich Paul long grabbed hold of the Lakers organization and are now beginning to really squeeze. The situation is tense enough that one source close to the Lakers likened it to the early days of a war. -via The Athletic / February 23, 2022
So far, the Lakers haven’t shown a particular willingness to engage in battle with their superstar, with sources saying that Pelinka has insisted internally that there are no hard feelings between the two sides. -via The Athletic / February 23, 2022
