If he had the inside track on Kawhi, no way would he have quit. |
Maybe. Or maybe when Jeanie/Rob/FO put Magic to the fire for collecting $10m/year and doing little work, the jig was up and it wasn't fun for him anymore. |
The attention whore who's going to end up making a threepeat appearance on ESPN this summer?
No way does he pass up that win even if wild animals were gnawing at his balls. He quit because he didn't see a light at the end of the tunnel.
If by some miracle Rob/LBJ pull a big FA out of their asses... I will be sick if Magic tries to take credit for it.
He quit when the going got tough. |
Dude, we score that big FA, Magic can claim anything... we all be celebrating |

Magic admittedly lives for FA. So him bowing out right before it may be that he doesn't see a top FA coming.
Or he just grew tired of the "um, Magic are you going to do any work for your 10m?" crowd and just quit.

To create as much turmoil and upheaval and angle his way into part ownership of the Lakers after the board "forces" a sale because of all this turmoil.

You really believe this??
You guys really go overboard in here at times.. |
You don't for a second believe that if the Lakers trust decided to "force" a sale of the Lakers, that Magic Johnson and "associates" wouldn't be the first in line?
Have you not heard the words that have come out of Magic's mouth? Have you also not heard what Magics mouth piece (Preaching A Smith) has been saying for the last week? |

I really believe Magic’s plan was to purchase the Lakers with Klutch. I’m sure he sold Rich Paul and Lebron on this.
The parties are just waiting for Jeanie to crack. AEG, Klutch, etc.
Magic will be in on this. It’s something he definitely has his eyes on... |

I don't think I could do that. For me, it's all about the team and there's only two teams I root for, Real Madrid and the Lakers. I'll probably take to watching the NBA as a general fan and rooting for whoever is the underdog in each playoff series. And I'll stick to supporting Real Madrid because that is a team which can never be owned by anyone but its fans/members. They have the best ownership model in the world IMO... as a member-owned, non-profit sports association... along with Barca, Bilbao and Osasuna. I think the other clubs in La Liga had to give up the "socio" model because of government regulations in the 90s, not sure of the details... but these clubs were given exemptions because of how successfully they did it. |

I couldn't root for Sterling... but I could root for this version.
Imagine if Neymar bought Real Madrid.
That might make you change your tune. |

Well, does AEG want the responsibility of managing a basketball team? Not sure if they do. I'm thinking they probably wouldn't care if the Buss family was replaced by a consortium of buyers... as long as they could stick to their current percentage of ownership and not take on additional responsibility of management. |

It sure would and that would be a nightmare AFAIC... but it's never going to happen, hehe.
Madrid will be owned by its fans long after we are gone and after the next generations are gone too.

| Buss isn't selling the Lakers and we'll be fine, Magic stepped off the ledge, but at the end of the day for this generation of players a tandem of Kobe and Bron are very powerful voices for talking to players about joining up....I'm not worried about in fact I'd rather Bron be the one closing the deal so to speak....I wouldn't want that in all player additions, but for that 2nd all star? Of course. |

One thing Magic has to realize is that is is not doing the Lakers any good by talking right now. He has to shut up about the Lakers.
And talk Dodgers or anything else.
Magic has to shut up. |

I haven't felt great about rooting for the Lakers since Colorado.
But I've stuck by them because they are my team since childhood.
I've stuck by them through six losing seasons, watching every game.
But the Godfather offer... or Magic buying the team after contributing to their ruin?
I think those will be the last straws until Klutch and Magic are gone from the team. |

Magic is upset because everything he has said has basically backfired. His ego has been hurt and others are actually seeing what kind of individual he is. This was a bad move on his part just like when he cost the Lakers all that money for tampering and not keeping his mouth shut.
The Lakers are doing the right thing by saying absolutely nothing. Let this play out and work under to try and build a championship contender.
Media is constantly looking for guys who will speak something negative against the team, and yes those guys could be people who were fired. |

Really? Yikes... hope Don Florentino doesn't agree to pay him that... he does like his superstars though. I think Neymar should stay at PSG and continue taking their Sheikh owners to the cleaners while other clubs dump them out of the CL every year. The two biggest evils in football at the moment IMO are state/oligarch sponsored clubs (like PSG, Man City, Chelsea) and the disproportionate EPL TV Revenue (which has lead to a horrible vicious cycle that enables EPL clubs to take the best talent from other leagues and has lead to the death of the Italian, Dutch, French, Portuguese leagues). City benefits from both, so I dislike them the most today. PSG/Chelsea a close 2nd.
Lol, stop trying to put doubts in my head. Just won't happen.. and it'd be a true sporting tragedy if it did.

lol... yeah it's never going to happen. (Neymar owner, player... maybe)
But just trying to get you to grasp the pain that would drive me to take a break from my Lakers.
I loved Magic as a player... but he's killing me with his moves as an executive and post executive.
The idea of these selfish players owning the team would make me take a hiatus. |

Fair enough. I didn't get that at first, my bad, but I understand now. I'd probably feel the same if it were Madrid and Di Stefano/Redondo/Zizou pulling "a Magic".
