Doug Gottlieb in for Colin:

It’s too late for Magic to limit expectations

With one of the most anticipated free agency periods in NBA history less than a week away, the Lakers have more riding on this offseason than any other franchise. Laker fans expect a franchise changing star haul, but in a press conference, yesterday, team president Magic Johnson tried to make the case that it wouldn’t be the end of the world if L.A. can’t land any stars this offseason. He added that he would resign his position if he couldn’t recruit any superstars by the end of next offseason.

Doug thinks the lack of confidence in the usually confident Magic’s voice should give Laker nation some pause for concern, and agrees that he should step down if he can’t land  franchise changing players. Magic has been talking up this summer since he took over in L.A., it’s too late now to try to limit them. If he can’t recruit stars, he’s useless to the Lakers.
