We went through a 1/2 decade of Jimmy Buss and Mitch blowing more free agency meetings with players than I can count.
Magic brings us LBJ. And people are complaining about him?
Grabbing LBJ when our franchise was a laughingstock for 1/2 a decade is arguably the biggest accomplishment anyone in the Lakers franchise has done since the Kobe/Pau 2 peat.
But of course Magic wasn't perfecrt. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”

Magic is a bottom 3 PBO/GM in the history of sports.
The legend of a player is THAT bad at personnel decisions.
But yes he should get credit for landing Lebron. That’s totally true...it’s what he did before and after... |

^ I'll just say this. Had he left much less...noisily, I'd likely have a better view of his tenure. Was not happy with the loud exit, the interviews, etc. All during a very tenuous time for the team.
With that said, there's a mixed bag there, but Maginka did have a clear, concise plan, and it was met - the "get two big talents here." So, there's that.
And to quote the wise Forrest Gump, "that's all I have to say about that." _________________ "One thing I admire about Kuzma is his unwavering confidence. He truly has no idea that he’s not as good as he thinks." - Killer_Z |

He did sign Lebron. So.... _________________ "Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money & position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold & contain life, but the quality of life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it." |
