Players and personalities around the league shared their thoughts.
Magic Johnson was never cut out to do this
This is a trying year for Magic and the storied franchise, who was fully expected to make the playoffs after getting LeBron James.

Magic Johnson decided it's better to be just Magic Johnson
Magic Johnson had the title he'd always wanted. He had the power to guide one of the most important franchise in sports.

The Lakers needed someone like Jerry West, not Magic Johnson
The Lakers deserve management that can make those high stake calls and come away winning.

No playoffs for LeBron James, No job for Magic Johnson. Why the Lakers fell apart
One of the most storied teams in the league, the Lakers (37-45) have not won a championship in nine years, and Los Angeles is frustrated, hungry and impatient.

Kobe Bryant said last month he wouldn't become Lakers GM
Many fans would prefer to have the void filled by a member of the Lakers family, with Johnson out, there is no greater Laker available than Bryant.
"The answer is no, I'm not doing it", says Bryant.

Magic Johnson's Lakers' breakup had to be hard for him; witnessing it was worse
It was probably the right move for Johnson to make in the best interests of the team and himself, but he carried it out in the worst possible way.
Alonzo Ball thankful Magic Johnson mentored him
"Any time I needed help I could just go to him, whether it was on the court or off the court, he was there for me".

Magic Johnson's sudden resignation from Lakers, LeBron James rough first season in L.A.
But, should we have really been that surprised?
Johnson took center stage from Dwayne Wade and Dirk Nowitzki, both playing in the final game of their career

Owner. Jeanie Buss must look outside Lakers family to find solutions to fix franchise
When Jeanie Buss hired Magic Johnson as president of basketball operations for the Lakers two years ago, she didn't view it as hiring a former player who had virtually no front-office experience. She was hiring a man she considers her brother. Magic was family.
When Buss hired Rob Pelinka as GM, she didn't see him as a player agent with no fron-office experience. She saw him as the former agent of Kobe Bryant, and Kobe was family.

Magic Johnson exit Lakers flop
A bizarre resignation follows the disappointing L.A. debut for LeBron James.
The Lakers failed to qualify for the playoffs, after signing the one and only LeBron James during the prior summer. Backstabbing season is here, and Magic decided it was his time to bounce.
