Magic on First Take spilling the beans

I appreciate Magics honest take from how he sees it but I dont believe he should be on TV letting out all the details of the inner workings of the Lakers some things you have to keep in house especially when youre working through things.

Magic only cares for himself.

He is only hurting the Lakers by doing that, specially before this huge free agency

I realize magic took a lot of heat for those who love the Lakers as I do, but I also realized, from the very beginning, that magic was taking that heat unfairly.

Some of the Laker decisions that were really head-scratchers, were apparently because of the chaos and dysfunction in that Laker organization, something perhaps I didn't want to admit to.

Regardless, it seems that Magic Johnson was the one who was trying to do the right thing, but others in the organization were sabotaging his efforts. He left for valud reasons, and based on what he is saying, he cannot solely take the blame for all the mishaps in decision-making, simply because he was not allowed to make the final decision.

I know Magic Johnson is not without his faults, but he is not nearly as bad as he was made out to be. His intelligence, his business savvy, his ability to make the correct assessments on things, these things are not to be questioned. So, in my opinion, Magic Johnson has been Vindicated.

Basically, Magic: I’m a victim of this backstabbing horrible organization

basically Rob is a snake and he left because he was talking behind his back to Jeanie. Nothing more nothing less, the rest is all bs

With that said, good luck to the Lakers trying to get a top free agent or making good trades to improve this team with Rob in power. Especially when Magic clearly said this.

“I don’t hold grudges.”

But, this is a grudge Magic.

Not smart. This only helps the Laker haters. It would be a miracle if we get a top F/A.

Magic didn't need to go on TV pointing fingers at everybody but it is what it is at this point and at least he's being honest. I'm a huge Laker fan and even I would be reluctant to do business with Pelinka and the Lakers listening to this mess LOL. Wondering how worthwhile it is to keep Pelinka around given this reputation he's obtaining as an unlikeable snake?
