With the trade deadline behind us and Magic Johnson squarely at the helm of the Los Angeles Lakers, fans finally get a chance to catch their breath collectively.

So, what better time to bring on friend of the show Chris McGee (or Geeter, as we’re all legally supposed to call him because Magic said so) of Spectrum SportsNet for a second time around to talk about everything that’s been going on.

First, we get how he found out about the Jim Buss, Mitch Kupchak and John Ireland firings — and how they affected the volleyball he was supposed to play with Luke Walton. Then, we got his thoughts on the move and what it might mean for the Lakers moving forward.
