Saying it won’t be a failure if the Los Angeles Lakers do not land a max free agent this July, team president Magic Johnson set a timeline for his rebuild by saying he will “step away” if he “can’t deliver” by next summer.

“No, because I told you this is [about] two summers,” Johnson said when asked if it will be a failure if the Lakers don’t land a max star like LeBron James or Paul George in free agency next month. “We don’t know what people are going to decide, and we can’t control that.
