Evidently, LeBron James and the remaining folks in power within the Los Angeles Lakers need some time to formulate their thoughts after last night’s shocking resignation by Magic Johnson as president of basketball operations.

While Luke Walton is still working in the capacity of head coach, he won’t be speaking to the media, as is customary for a team’s head coach. The same goes for LeBron James, owner Jeanie Buss and general manager Rob Pelinka, as none of them are scheduled to speak today.

While the rules rarely apply to LeBron, it’s a shock that nobody is willing to speak from the perspective of the Lakers today. Although it’s totally fair for all of them to be shocked by the decision Johnson made, the franchise has to move on. The longer they wait, the less time they will have to find a new identity all over again.
