Magic Johnson must have read the Great Mambino's guide for how the Lakers can improve after the draft lottery, because the former franchise point guard took to Twitter today to guarantee that the team would be better next season. Johnson even said something positive about Jim Buss:
Laker Nation: I guarantee we will be better next season. Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak will have a great offseason!

Magic also had some advice for Lakers fans who want to bring their team good karma or luck ahead of the crucial draft lottery to determine if the Lakers will keep their first round draft pick:
Laker Nation: We want to bring Coach Scott some luck in NY on Tuesday so wear your Purple & Gold! I will have my Lakers gear on all day!

The Lakers can only hope that Johnson wearing his Lakers gear will have as positive of an effect on the lottery as it did when he was wearing it on the court for the team.
