Lakers great Magic Johnson sees one star who is reportedly on the trade market as a player who could help his old team contend for the NBA title.

Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum etched his name into Celtics’ history while beating the Chicago Bulls 123-98 Saturday night. He became the first Celtics player to record a 40+ point triple-double (43 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists) since Bird.

Johnson recently explained why Los Angeles didn't even have Tatum in for a workout. Tatum, a Kobe Bryant fan, longed to play for the Lakers.

Lakers fans are still mad that their favorite team didn't acquire DeMar DeRozan and Buddy Hield when it had the chance to do so.

Jeff Wechsler, Jayson Tatum's agent, somewhat disagrees with Magic Johnson's story on why the Lakers didn't draft Tatum in 2017.

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum's agent set the record straight after Magic Johnson revealed what happened with the Los Angeles Lakers.

An old wound was reopened recently when Los Angeles Lakers Hall of Famer Magic Johnson guested on Fox's "Speak" talk show. Co-host Keyshawn Johnson was asking Earvin about what the Purple & Gold could do to become championship contenders this season when Keyshawn innocently threw DeMar DeRozan's name into the conversation.

There seem to be two schools of thinking when it comes to the potential this season's Los Angeles Lakers have. Many have felt that they, at best, will struggle to reach the play-in tournament, but others feel they simply need a little help from the trade market to become very competitive.
