If 100% means that the Lakers return to the glory of their showtime days and win NBA Championships, Ben Maller gives Magic Johnson a 15% chance of succeeding in his new role with the team.
As director of basketball operations, Magic is now in charge of assembling a team and staff capable of winning at the highest level, but he has yet to prove he has the capability. Not to mention that the franchise has seemingly put all of their eggs into the lottery basket to very limited success these past three years.
They are not built to succeed, and they are consistently living in the past. Pretty standard operating procedure for the Los Angeles Lakers franchise.
You can hear The Ben Maller Show every weekday from 2-6 am est. on Fox Sports Radio.
