Jeanie Buss met with Magic Johnson on Tuesday evening.

While the exact nature of the meeting was not immediately clear, Buss has been soliciting opinions on the direction of the franchise moving forward.

Buss, Johnson, Lakers executive Linda Rambis and Johnson's longtime friend and business partner Lon Rosen were seen having dinner at a restaurant inside Staples Center before Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

Buss and Johnson sat next to each other to watch the game as well.

"She always wants to ask, 'What do you see, what do you think, what do you like?'" Johnson said. "We always get together. You know me. I'll break it down for her as much as I can. I love the Lakers."

The future of Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak running the basketball operations department is unclear.
