    ^^^So Magic helping to bring Kcp then Bron in had no bearing on AD wanting to be Lakers bound?

    Keep klutching onto that Magic hate.

    Meanwhile that Lue coaching mishire isn't concerning at all in trying to close an AD or free agent deal? Why, cause we're suddenly not so dysfunctional and the leaks stopped. Magic came out on First Take...dude ain't leaky. So it had to be R.Pelly and Lukie's coaching caravan.

    The dysfunction was giving someone the Prez title but not allowing them to wield it. Was Magic the right guy? Probably not. Was he the only guy wrong tho?

    If my role is big picture and I tell my cap guy to get it done.... Jules walking for nothing and the Zu trade come to mind. Pelz did do a good job tho with having Deng give back a generous amount in the buyout and with the Nance trade to get that 2nd max and picking up a 1st rounder. I still think the DLo trade was fine cause it made room for Bron.

    So if Magic is in charge of the meme team assembly, Pelz was in charge of the contracts. Kcp @ 12m and Rondo @ 9m seemed excessive. So both had their hands in making inefficient cap mistakes, but let's not act like the FO is all peaches now that Magic is gone.

    Btw, who needs a guy tweeting when Rob is working on scripture and finding appropriate verses to reference during the AD intro presser.

    "And Moses came upon a burning brow..."

    Struggle w/in Laker org was to figure out which of the 3 key young pieces they include. Different folks internally valued different players. I know they made a final decision today, but don't know offer details.

    That's all for tonight. Hopefully the Lakers have either finalized or do finalize their offer soon, and we can get Anthony on this team ASAP!

    Best,

    Magic quit half way to the job. I guess he gets half credit. But he bailed out when it really mattered so, ya. Thats that.

    I got no bones with that at all. I did not like how Magic quit. But I do believe we missed an opportunity in that he gave us 3 months to find a new Prez and well...

    Btw here's Aldridge's most recent comments on AD:



    No mention of Love/Knick's 3rd pick.

    Hahahaha the Lakers leverage have gone up up and away. There's no way we should offer the farm when we our pretty much the only suitors.

    Ingram, 4th pick, Hart, Wagner and future picks is a very very fair and great offer for the pelicans.

    Another stupid Decison by Rich Paul. We already had the leverage, there's no reason to stir things up. It only stimulates negative emotions and we know what happens you go down that road.

    This sounds like they really want to keep Lonzo because of his potential, but really love Kuz’s swagger game.

    I love Kuz to death, but I think if we can keep Lonzo, that would be a huge win.

    Shoot, if we can keep both, I will personally erect Rob a statue myself.

    Ingram, #4, Hart, Wagner, 2021 & 2023 1sts? Rob em.

    If we have the choice to keep one of the kids I realllly want it to be Lonzo. We need that defense in the worst way.

    You can practically hear Mannix’s tears hitting the keyboard as he tweeted that.

    So New York absolutely needs a 3rd team cause Nawlins isn't enamored by their young pieces.

    The Cbags should also be out cause of Ky, AD Sr and Rich...

    The cLips... Weren't on AD's short-list

    And the Nets also appear to be out...
