In Episode 5 of the Get More Sports podcast, we breakdown the latest Lakers drama after a new bombshell report revealed even more dysfunction within the franchise. According to ESPN’s Baxter Holmes’ story, Magic Johnson the executive is very different from Magic Johnson the charismatic former Laker great. The report also alleges General Manager Rob Pelinka made up a story involving Kobe Bryant and Heath Ledger.
"It never happened. … I never abused an employee and I never will. That's not what I'm about."

Over in Houston, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Rockets have put the entire team on the trading block, even Chris Paul. While James Harden is highly unlikely to be moved, Paul re-signed with the Rockets on a four-year, $160 million deal last summer. The duo have not been able to get past the Golden State Warriors in their last two postseasons.
Next, we shift gears to the NFL to talk about the Oakland Raiders offseason moves where they’ve signed players with a long history of on and off the field issues like Antonio Brown, Vontaze Burfict, and Richie Incognito. John Gruden and General Manager Mike Mayock appear to be taking a page out of Al Davis’ book in constructing their roster, but will it work this season?
We get into all this and more in the latest episode of the Get More Sports Podcast.
