    right?! as someone else noted, how is he not asked about the muscala trade like--immediately--after he starts commenting on moves that should or shouldn't happen?

    "i'd have traded for derozan, lillard, and myles turner and just kept caruso and kcp".

    no, you'd have traded THT/nunn/1st for mo harkless.

    All the DeRozan talk that keeps coming up now is just Lakers hate. There are obvious reasons why it didn’t happen and wasn’t going to happen. Of all the fixable mistakes they made (not trading Schroder and THT for Lowry, not getting anything for Schroder period, trading value contracts for Westbrook, not trading Trez and Kuz for Hield) this one wasn’t even in the ballpark.

    I'm not sure what's more remarkable: 1) how poorly Magic understands the salary cap considering he ran our team. 2) that he keeps s***ting on this front office/team and Jeanie keeps welcoming him back with open arms.

    I’m so sick of hearing from him. He was the reason I fell in love with the game when I was a kid, but since he’s retired, he’s done nothing but hurt the Lakers Franchise.

    Magic is a moron. I thought this has been established over the course of 20 years he's been retired.

    Wonder if his hand on Jeanie's back has another knife in it. Also a little awkward being that close to Rob. So much incompetence in one photo.

    Last I checked Miami is number one in the east. Sure they owe him 20 plus a year but we are stuck with a $47 million contract next year instead and a bunch of vet min players. Hopefully we can turn Russ’s expiring into some good players, we’ll see.

    They are good with Magic being around because he never fully left. Just didn’t want the title anymore.

    No sugar, less frequency of eating and stop snacking. You do those things and you'd be surprised how fast weight comes off.

    Maybe AC has a sore throat or something, didn't want to get anyone sick. We have to factor other things sometimes, not just some yahoo being overprotective.
