Again just think...if the Lakers did nothing they would have a pretty sick roster rn, with Ball, Ingram, Kouz, Randle, Russell, Hart, Zubac as their core. Instead, they have Lance Stephenson, LeSpaceJam, Cancer Rondo, and everyone else wants out

[callo1]

All a decoy for him to "unofficially " tamper for the Lakers. Will probably still remain on the payroll.

The episode with Howard Stern was great though. Stern kept saying at least Magic got the AIDS the fun way from Jerry Buss' pool parties. Then when they tried to cut Stern's segment short with a musical number Stern kept dry-humping Sheila E while she was simultaneously playing and trying to push him away. Greatest episode of late night ever. :lmao

Or has just has full-blown AIDS. He didn't have the cure tbh

Magic's self-awareness is the most admirable trait of his, he knows when to quit when he isn't good at something, he's always been that way..can't say the same for 99% of pro athletes and celebrities..

Fair.
But Lakers deserve some ridicule for this shit show ..
I loved magic as player and business man and kudos that he admitted he failed.
But he couldn't even do that right.
Nothing wrong with stepping down and expressing how yo can better help the game but quitting on a boss in the media who you conisder "like family"
is not classy even if the words and intent was ...

Why? He's not taking Jeannie with him.

Maybe the worst run franchise in the Nba for going on 6 years.

[blah28]

Very true, but being in Los Angeles once Lebron retires they will be able to get players. As of right now the Clippers are poised to become a become the destination for NBA players. The richest owner in the NBA and a good management team in place.

Yep, only the Suns have been a bigger embarrassment, maybe the Kings..

I dont think Jeanie is the issue, she is trying to fix the problem.
Magic helped initially ... but sucked afterward.
But now is the time to re-assess quick fixes.
IF luke stays give him a competent staff.
Make him hire a shooting coach.

Bron and company wanted Spo gone initially ...and he would be a great hire.
Has bron respect actually cares about defense and flip nation in socal would make him a Pacquiao type God.

Tough to argue with you but I wouldnt say worst. but definitely bottom 5

Can't blame him, he is worth over $500 million dollars, is part owner of he Dodgers and doesn't want to deal with this circus anymore. It was pretty smart of him to get out when he did.

Oh no Jeanie is a problem. The StayD12 billboards was her idea. The Lakers as an organization never needed to do that. And she is a problem because she fired Mitch and hired Magic for sentimental reasons

[djohn2oo8]

The Lakers have no vision and that is on Jeanie

[Mr. Body]

They ran Jerry West out, who keeps trading the Clippers' best players and making them better.

[Killakobe81]

What makes Jeannie any better than Jimmy? This was probably the most disgraceful season for them since the Kobe Rape Trial year.

[djohn2oo8]

Not being able to sell the LA market and come play for the Lakers. That is also on Jeanie.

[djohn2oo8]

Mitch and or Jim had to go ... they just chose the wrong replacement ...
Yes she chose the worst replacement of all and that speaks to her judgement

[Killakobe81]

They ran Jerry West out, who keeps trading the Clippers' best players and making them better.

no they did not.
her ex did.
And i will never forgive Phil for that and spoke on it. l
What I dont get was when he left state he was in talks with us and we declined ... but we never ran him out.
Phil kicked him out of his lockeroom (mitch was laready the GM) and West never forgave Phil and sinc ejeanie was banging Phil ...

[Mr. Body]

I almost feel for LeBron. I mean, I don't, but signing onto this crapfest for the rest of his declining career. Every single player either sucks or is hurt. Silver almost has to give them Zion now.

[Killakobe81]

Yes she chose the worst replacement of all and that speaks to her judgement

It was a bridge ...
She was fighting a legal battle for controlling interest and chose magic to steward BBall Ops
It makes sense she would want someone she trusted while dealing with such a big legal issue.

Look i love Jerry buss but the power structure that was left behind is all on him.
he wanted his family to run the franchise like a family business

RIP Dr. buss but this mess partially on him

[blah28]

He signed with the Lakers so he can make movies. It had nothing to do with basketball, he knew exactly what he was doing.

[Killakobe81]

nothing yet tbh
just saying she is trying to fix things she may fail just like he did ...she is well on her way

I mean this kind of shit didnt even happen to Jim. The face of your basketball operations quits without giving you advanced notice.

[djohn2oo8]

And then implies that she is a backstabber lol

Magic Johnson is an idiot anyways. The media and general public treat him like he's some sort of great basketball mind just because he was good at playing but it's painfully obvious he's actually a low iq idiot. This is actually great news for the Lakers and bad news for those of us that want the dumpster fire to continue.

[tmtcsc]

Complete joke and embarrassment as anything but a player for the Lakers. Tampering, letting Lebron and his posse run things, "winking" on a talk-show to insuate that he may have tampered with other teams' players...nothing but a glory, attention-loving, jackass.

DO NOT BE SURPRISED if this is a precursor to the Lakers trading Lebron James. James has been nothing but poison to that organization since the day he signed with them. He's surrounded by amateur, Know-Nothing "yes" men. Children who believe they have business savvy.

Remind us all again LJ, when did you know you were the "BEST" to the play the game? "It was at that moment..when I saw Kyrie Irving hit that clutch shot...that I knew I was the best that ever played the game".

[Mr. Body]

Obviously Magic became the fall guy for this disaster of a season the Lakers had. I bet they go after David Griffin as LeBron is going to keep trying to turn Lakers into Cavs West. Walton is probably going to get fired.

[DMC]

When is Lakers fan going to realize building around a guy Lebron's age and tendency to bolt isn't a great idea? They had a working formula, trust the process. Nope, not that horde of bandwagoning faggots.

That's one creative way to bail Magic out. The other side of the coin, the one that says "reality" on it, is that Magic wanted to fire Luke and Buss told him no so he quit. He doesn't need a job. Your GM needs to be someone who needs the job.

The truth will get leaked one way or the other but yeah I think they fired him in a creative way to save face.

Hmm..

So you think they fired him and told him they would do a press release, then he beat them to the punch by saying he quit? He didn't look like someone who was comfortable saying what he was saying. He's used to getting his way since probably before college, but in business things get rough. Friendships get battered, which is why I never do businesses with friends.

So is it safe to say that every major free agent will be avoiding the Lakers like the plague this offseason? If they were getting anyone, even a Kemba Walker tier player, Magic wouldn't have quit because he would have wanted to take all the credit for it.

Concur on both.

In his self serving presser he mumbled something about how he didn't want anything to come between he and Jeannie. I took that as she wanted Walton to stay and he was butthurt. Along with realizing he wasn't going to get his way with rigged trades like the AD scam. Drops "Serena Williams wants me to mentor her blah blah" and other attention whore bullshit.

What is the pitch now to join the Lakers? We have no front office and soon to have no coach. Come play for us because we dominated in the early 2000's!

If only the Lakers had another All-Time great player who formerly played for them and knows about talent evaluation and how to run a franchise successfully. That's the guy im sure the Lakers would go all in right? Like who would turn THAT GUY down? :lol
