Magic Johnson ‘Demands a Trade’ After Watching Lakers’ Performance Against Mavs!
Los Angeles, CA – Lakers legend Magic Johnson took to social media after Los Angeles’ tough battle against the Dallas Mavericks, posting a reaction so strong that fans jokingly wondered if he was about to make a comeback.
Following the Lakers’ 114-108 loss to the Mavs, Johnson tweeted:
“I can’t take this anymore! If I were still playing, I’d be demanding a trade right now!!!”
The five-time NBA champion’s tweet quickly went viral, with fans flooding the comments. Some laughed at the Hall of Famer’s frustration, while others agreed that the Lakers’ inconsistent play has been tough to watch.
The game itself was a rollercoaster. LeBron James and Anthony Davis put up solid performances, but Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving proved too much to handle down the stretch. Despite a late Lakers comeback attempt, Dallas held firm, securing the victory.
Of course, Johnson wasn’t actually calling for a trade—he retired in 1996. But his passion for the Lakers remains strong, and whenever the team struggles, fans can expect him to voice his opinions.
Whether the Lakers take his criticism to heart remains to be seen. One thing is for sure—Magic is still very much invested in his team’s success.
