Magic Johnson Steps Down as President of Basketball Operations of the Lakers

[TheNig]

However, him letting go of dudes like DLO, Julius to free up the cap space to sign max players isn't something I'm overly critical of him on.

I am becuz they were young dudes who weren't giving a chance.

JR went to NO and had a great season and look at DLo...

Magic's gone and you let the trainer go too but keep the one person around other teams in the league don't like doing business with. Jeannie won't be too long after Magic and her brother

Isn't this Kobe's guy? The fix is in. Kobe will be the new President and he's going to either sabotage Lebron's last year's or he's the new Jerry West.

I understand after the fact. But there's also the chance they wouldn't have taken the leap if they stayed too.

Having the space for the max contracts was the priority and it does suck to see Julius and Dlo prosper, but I'm not necessarily mad at the strategy.

An expanded role?! This Rob Lowe lookalike muthafukka that compared KCP to bread that fell from heaven?

Magic must know ain’t nobody coming to the lakers

While Lebron is there

It all boils down to that

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Him treating Laker employees like manure.

People get on but Magic got a rep

People get on but Magic got a rep

Broussard said the NBA probably contacted ESPN and told them to not put the article out since Magic is an NBA ambassador.

magic said fukk this hard work shyt i'm out.

i get it this season was a shyt show, but if he quit because the job was getting too hard that's a bytch move imo.

magic a hundred millionaire about to be 60, if ever there were a poster child for "ok to quit if the shyt is too hard/stressful", it's him. at 60, aint nobody trying to deal with bullshyt the pushes beyond their limits, shyt, a good chunk of people half his age aren't

 

[Osmosis]

Lebron is giving these fools the last few years of his career

What a colossal mistake.

I believe that,that's why cats on here aren't lying or they must be deeply connected because stuff said years ago is making sense now

 

[MrWestGrand]

I told ya’ll in another thread as a coach he was horrible, and that didnt last long.


Rinse & Repeat.

MAgic is a real businessman.
He actually is a owner of the Dodgers, has multi-million dollar business ventures, and is one of the people that could legit buy a team.
Magic is worth more than Jeanie Buss.
So why would he work for her, something he did as a favor, when she won't even let him do his job.

He did what he should have done, quit on the spot.

 

[kingofnyc]

Enlighten me about my naivety.

i'm just saying NOBODY with common sense believed he gave up his minority ownership to play with the wizards
especially when David Stern allowed him to run the entire front office as a player
