魔術強森談辭職：沒實權，有些人想當GM

After his playing career, Magic Johnson was at one point the president of basket
ball operations for the Los Angeles Lakers, leaving the team in 2019. On a recen
t episode of the Club Shay Shay podcast, Magic Johnson admitted that former Lake
rs coach Luke Walton was the reason he left his position with the team. (58:20)

在魔術強森的職業生涯結束後，他一度在洛杉磯湖人隊擔任GM，並於2019年離開球隊。在最
近一期的播客節目中，魔術強森承認前湖人總教練Walton是他離開球隊的原因。

Shannon Sharpe: Why did you step down (from the Lakers)?

主持人：你為什麼離開湖人？

Magic Johnson: "It's just I had to, I, I thought I had the power to do what I wa
nted to do.

"I wanted to fire Luke Walton."

魔術強森：我不得不辭職，我以為我有能力做我想做的事。我想炒掉Walton。

Shannon Sharpe: You didn't feel that he was capable of doing the job?

主持人：你不認為Walton有能力勝任這份工作？

Magic Johnson: "Oh, I knew he wasn't. And so I said, ‘Hey, we’ve got to let hi
m go. He's not the right guy; he is not a great coach for the Laker team.’ And
they wanted to keep him. So, I said, ‘okay.’ I already knew that I didn't want
 to fracture the great relationship I had with Jeanie Buss, because that's my si
ster. So, and instead of me sitting there - and I can never be this dude that ju
st sits and not says what's on my mind - I said, ‘let me just exit. It's going
to be best for everybody.’



"I felt some dudes wanted to be in the seat that I had. So, hey, you let 'em hav
e it. You go ahead, you can have it, I'm out. And Jeanie and I are still great f
riends, so it was the best move and I'm glad I did it.



Usually, the president of basketball operations gets full reign on hiring/firing
 a coach. It is easy to see why Magic Johnson wanted to leave the Los Angeles La
kers, as Luke Walton clearly didn't fit his vision of what a good coach looks li
ke.

通常，GM全權負責聘請/解僱教練。魔術強森想要離開洛杉磯湖人隊的原因很容易理解，因
為Walton顯然不符合他心目中一個好教練的樣子。
