Live Bar, January 6th recently, former Lakers basketball operation president magician Johnson participated in The program “All The Smoke” and talked about The process of recruiting stars for The Lakers at that time.
He said his original plan was to recruit James first, and then recruit Leonard in the next offseason. However, in the 2018-19 season, the magician resigned before ending war and did not participate in the process of recruiting Leonard during the next offseason.
When it comes to the fact that the Lakers were close to signing Leonard, the magician said, “If I participate in the final recruitment, I will let him come to the Lakers.”
“I have done a lot of homework. So when we meet, I already know what you want, and I will tell you how I can meet your requirements. I knew what James wanted. I showed him and he accepted. I also know what Leonard wants, and I will show him (he will accept it). Then we will go to victory.”
