LOL, Magic just up and quit on the Lakers.

Probably better for them in the long run but I find it funny that the media spent years lambasting Vlade and calling him out as a moron while simultaneously thinking Magic was going to take the Lakers back to the promised land and it turned out that we got the better GM of the two.

What exactly the eff did Magic think being the president of basketball ops of an NBA franchise entailed?

I hear Phil Jackson is available.

 

[Tetsujin]

Holy hell, this is amazing.

Lebron went to LA expecting the Lakers and instead got Sterling-era Clippers.

I cannot remember anything like this ever happening. This is insane.

This "press conference" is nothing short of bizarre lol

Kinda bush league but probably great for the Lakers though.

Who'd have thunk after the Zaps trade that the Knicks would be a saner franchise than the Lakers?

Depends on what they do with Pelinka. Pelinka's honestly even worse than Magic.

ideal ambassador for the Lakers

OMG. I laughed so hard I cried. Greatest thread devoted to the Lakers I have ever seen on this or any other message board. It's a GREAT day to be a Kings fan.

 

[kingsfan1984]

This is fantastic

Luke Walton went from lame duck to the only piece of Lakers leadership that shows any signs of stability over the course of one impromptu press conference.

There is blood in the water in SmelL.A right now.

We need more wood for the dumpster fire!

Let's hope they mess the next choice up too.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

They’re in the midst of their longest ever playoff drought and the organization looks to be as erratic and w/o direction as the KINGS did not so long ago.

This couldn’t happen to a more deserving franchise. Here’s hoping it drags on for at least 10-20 years.

Unfortunately this is a positive for the lakers. Magic was a joke of a GM

Except this:

If Magic was the dude who want to draft De'Aaron instead of Lonzo all along, it begs to be seen what other "wonderful ideas" the Lakers front office had been cooking up.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

It always felt like the only one that really wanted Lonzo in a Lakers shirt was his dad. Somehow willed it into being.
