Listen to 20 minutes of Magic talking about basketball (or maybe 50 minutes so you can get 20 minutes of basketball talk in between 30 minutes of him talking about himself) and you'll immediately understand exactly how terrible you have to be.
About as terrible as Magic Johnson.
I completely understand now why the Lakers weren't getting meetings with marquis players. And also that it would've been impossible for them to NOT sign James. He wasn't even considering anywhere else because if he was, he would've ended up going there.
Magic's a worse executive than Elgin Baylor and I thought Baylor would be the high water mark for lousy NBA executives pretty much my entire life. He was laughably bad and Magic is inarguably worse.
Scott Pioli was better than Magic. He's awful.
