Magic resigned because of emails he received by mistake – Amico Hoops

Maybe there was more to Magic Johnson & # 39; s Amazing decision to leave the Los Angeles Lakers president's post on the night of the team's season finale, instead of "Magic wants to be Magic".

According to Ric Bucher of Bleacher Report and Fox Sports 1, Johnson was somehow aware of e-mails exchanged between the owner of the Lakers Jeanie Buss and general manager Rob Pelinka who were critical of Johnson.

Appearing on Colin Cowherd's show Wednesday, Bucher presented the background of the story.

By USA Today:

"After what I understood, some emails were exchanged between Rob and Jeanie … about Magic and what Magic was doing and not doing," Bucher said. "These were critical emails. And one way or another, Jeanie, from what I understand, was CC or blind, CC Magic. It was a kind of protocol. Standard problem. "

Bucher plunged deeper into the story.

"In one way or another, the exchange between Jeanie and Rob ended on this chain of blind CCs that went to Magic," he told Cowherd. "So, Magic now sees messages from Rob to Jeanie criticizing what he's doing. Perhaps the most important thing in all of this is that there is no indication that Jeanie was supporting Rob with respect to one or the other. it happened or came back to Rob and defended Magic.

"It did not happen that way. So when he talked about stabbing, I realized that's what started it all. The fact that Jeanie waved goodbye saying "thank you for everything you did" was that she did not necessarily disagree with what Rob was saying. "
