While the Los Angeles Lakers are still assessing the decision from Magic Johnson to step down as president of basketball operations, Rob Pelinka will stay in his job. Pelinka can even accumulate more power with the departure of Johnson.

Johnson took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to thank Buss, Pelinka, coach Luke Walton and the rest of the Lakers franchise.

Johnson and Pelinka met with LeBron James and Rich Paul on Saturday.

Johnson and Pelinka were hired on the same day in 2017 to replace Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak.
