But did Brad Turner do that on direct instruction/order of Magic or did he go rogue with this for his own career?

If magic kept his mouth it wouldn’t matter would it

I hear you. Fukk Rob too. Better?
Rob was hungry to be the big man on campus and didnt want a guy who wasnt working like him getting the credit. everyone including rob didnt know the deal magic struck with jeanie. Rob also most people forget, the presidents job is not to run around the country or the world scouting talent. thats the job of the GM/scouting team. those guys are to bring back the entail about super high talent guys that they may be able to get in a draft or even in a trade or waiver pick up/ Free agency the following year. and then they bring that info to the president. then he looks over it. if its a draft pick there's more than enough video of these people to see what you have. this aint 1982. but if its that serious he can then go check out said player.

this idea that magic needed to be stuck in an office chair for 8 hours to be the pres is bad thinking.

was magic perfect? NOPE. did he make some mistakes? YEP. did he own up to them? YEP.

did i blame magic for us not having shooters last year? NOPE. you know why? no one talks about this. there were not shooters to get that we could afford and were willing to take 1 year deals who not only could just shoot but also create their own shot and play defense. they were just shooters with horrible defense. so even though the offense would've been better. the defense would've been way worse. but people dont want to admit that. they just like to push an incorrect narrative as if there were a bunch of 3 and D guys waiting on a L.A. call.

but yet lebron came primarily because of him and to live in L.A. but because of less of him talking to him but more of his blueprint.

there is no"i dont trust magic" magic has built up a ton of trust over the years of actually delivering. you say you want a rich athlete to give back? CHECK. you say why can't they help get people in the hood jobs? Check, did that.

Remember he had the ...lls to get rid of jeanie's brother. mr deng and moz contracts. he also made some tough decisions to clear the cap space so we could afford to get 2 stars as FA's and he acquired and kept enough young assets just in case we needed to trade for another star.

The only reason we are even capable of being in the KL sweepstakes is because magic/pelinka made those moves. KL called magic to talk. not the lakers org. MAGIC. thats another level of players trust in that dude.

you can not trust him all you want but you have no actual legit reasoning for feeling that way. thats the media spin. for the record magic was always on board as a consultant and not a full timer that was going to be here for the long haul. he was never staying more than a few years and thats it. right the ship and be out.
Lol so I'm just imagining Magic quiting without notifying anyone and him going on first take the first chance he got? That never happened?

More like he knows that LeBron can't have that domineering attitude with him that he can have with everyone else.


You have your feelings about Lebron which is cool but dont attempt to put that on the guys/players that actually know him as what they feel/know...if Kawhi/AD, Lance, Rondo actually felt the way you do then none of this happens..they would have actually went to the Clippers as a way to really shyt on him...but some have actually came and AD forced his there, and Kawhi is truly considering...all knowing this is first time Lebron has waved a NTC and fully committed...they have had conversations with him prior....it's respect all around!!!

he did that. and so what? the man gave everyone full on answers on why he did what he did and what is really going on with the lakers. and guess what happened shortly thereafter? here comes AD. Magic airing the lakers out like that made the lakers think about what he said. rob is going to be rob. but what he said about jeanie having too many voices in the room needed to be said. and i bet you it will help her in the short and long run. you can have 3 maybe 4 voices TOPS. anything above that is way to many people. she had like 7 people in her ear before magic left.

Supposedly on lg some insiders saying not looking good. I could careless breh played this out way to long and if he ain’t careful with load management might have career ending injury. Iono how he’ll be able to load manage in Toronto or clippers with east getting stronger and clippers being the clippers
