Dude was too afraid to tell Jeanie Buss his boss. Magic is so soft

I heard that's because he's taking over the Bunny Ranch now that Dennis Hof is gone.:hump:

Interesting timing considering there was just a story about how lazy he's been.

If everyone knew he had AIDS and was starting his battle this would be different.

The fact that he acquired HIV and is now free of the disease, is truly a characteristic of a guy with a "Magic Johnson"

Lives with HIV for 28 years, decides he’s had enough of Lebron after 8 months.

Jerk off who can't take the heat. His son is literally the biggest queer on earth times 10.

Magic was a terrible executive who got drunk off his own legend.

I knew we were screwed the moment he pointed to the Rockets and Warriors and called those teams soft when he was trying to defend putting dudes around James that can't shoot.

And whenever anyone would question him he'd just talk about all the rings he won. He was unwilling to learn or listen to criticism. And he was in love with the sound of his own voice and his legend so everything became about him rather than the Lakers.

He was a disaster and any Lakers fan that tries to argue otherwise simply won't review his tenure fairly. The writing was on the wall the moment he shipped out D'Angelo Russell so he could bring in a guy with a busted ass jumper to play PG because Lonzo reminded him of himself.

The Lonzo/Russell exchange showed an executive wildly out of touch with the direction the league was heading. The Lakers are fortunate he stepped down voluntarily because nobody in the organization had the juevos to make him do it and it needed to be done.

Now the problem is the next step - which will almost certainly be to turn the keys over to some LeBron James lackey who will probably be just as bad at this as Johnson was. They need to interview a dozen guys and narrow the list down to folks that say "hey, you guys realize that Luke Walton's actually a pretty decent coach, right?" Any executive that can't see that is just another fossilized stooge that's gonna continue to run the Lakers into the ground.

They just need to interview one - Jerry West.

He's not volunteering to work with Lebron James.

I really don't know where they go from here.

I'd choose West over Lebron any day. If Lebron wants to stay in LA, he can play for the Clips via a trade. He's not winning anything in the West anyway.

The first thing I'd do as the new president is trade Lebron.

notorious 04-10-2019 09:48 AM

He hasn’t had to grind for anything in his life after basketball. He could attach his name to any business venture and LA groupie wannabes flocked.

Running any team requires grinding, and sacrificing your life outside of your job. Magic is a lazy ****.
