The environment around an aging superstar who is delusional is usually toxic. Post-prime Kobe years were horrible...the same will go for LeBron. Hopefully Lakers learn their lesson after Bron's contract.

TYRONE GA!
I'm not buying Magic's defense force coming out and absolving him of this mess. Him quitting like he did is bullshyt, period. He left a trail of ashes in his wake. We know damn well he was front and center on their transactions.

He definitely was in on the transactions. All he cared about was opening the 2 max spots for Superstars to come in (got Bron with one of em :yeshrug: ) and getting rid of those Deng/Mozzy contracts and not extending JR was the ends to the means to get this done. I'm not knocking that strategy. But that Zubac trade for Muscala :snoop:

But he didn't pick Rob Lowe and Luke as coach and I still think for him to quit like that indicated something deeper happened. Only thing that makes sense to me was wanting to fire Luke AND Pelinka.

BTW if that Fox story is true, then Magic really is a whole bytch and an equal part of the mess. Calling a guy and saying you wanted him but the team went elsewhere? Then talking about backstabbing? :gucci:

The trade seemed pointless but some of these Lakers people are acting like they lost their franchise center. They weren't bringing him back anyway.
After the trade we lost games because we had to start Kuzma at center. Zubac was good enough to be that guy. Muscala won’t be back either, trade just made us more weaker. Don’t know why they did it.
