    while i think magic is a self-centered, shallow idiot. and jeannie buss is probably in over her head, what has actually happened here that is so horrible for the future?

    they have lebron, they have good young talent, they have a top draft pick (can't remember what spot it is exactly) and they can easily get a second star to play there. plus they can probably get an older minor star to sign there for below-market (or MLE/LLE).

    i don't see any long term damage here.

    The once-proud Lakers have missed the playoffs for something like 8 straight years.....in a league that lets half the league in......and in a league that will go outta their way to give Lakers breaks.

    Once Ol' Man Buss passed away this franchise has been a joke. Jeannie Buss may be more incompetent than that Dolan dude in New York.

    It's not all Magic's fault, obviously, but he revealed his true colors this year. Lazy, dumb, selfish, and now a bully.

    So dramatic...

    Most of the teams in the league would be creaming their jeans to have 20%of the championships in the past 10 years. Nobody in Lakerland gives a shit about the playoffs. All or nothing.

    Am starting to Drink but the Knicks were gamers back in the day and won a couple of titles in the early 70's.. 90's with Ewing and company they were always in the mix and playoffs battling.

    Knicks suck now and have for a while just like the Lakers.. Can't even sniff the playoffs like the Lakers these days..

    Magic spoke out again against the Lakers yesterday. I'm starting to lose more respect for Magic every time he opens his mouth.

    It's said Magic was a bully in the office when he was there which was hardly ever.. Seems to me Magic didn't do his job as GM more then anything else.. Biiitching and moaning now that it didn't work out. Playing the blame game..

    listened to a few vids dont see what magic did wrong I see blame on jenny she had an agreement with magic about him not going to be there like a full time guy since he has a ton of other businesses where he gets paid a ton more she agreed to that, dumb on her part. so with his position he's supposed to be able to fire who he wants and wasnt allowed to, he wanted to fire walton and they had 3 meetings and he was going to be fired until the last meeting they backed off seems from lady rambis being in jenny's ear so they didnt fire luke, magic leaves and they still fire luke anyway 3 days later. lakers are a dumpster fire jenny and her bunch along with pelinka just arnt good we'll see if they can turn it around its the lakers so they should be able to do better eventually

    See the funny thing about that is that Magic states when he first took the job that he was all in 150% and he was setting his other businesses aside to run the Lakers. Then when he quits and starts blabbing he says Jeannie knew he was still running his other businesses and that he wouldn't be there all the time. So which was it?

    seems like maybe it was both he definitely said the 150% part when he was hired whether that was warming up to jenny who knows but he said it maybe the situation changed later where it was agreed upon with the latter of not being there as much not sure about that only by what he said jenny so far has decided not to speak publicly so its pretty much one sided for now

    Don’t know how old folks are but kinda sad to see them dissing Magic Johnson who was revolutionized the game of basketball & was the catalyst to Showtime Lakers. Magic is Magic he is not a changed man

    I am a 90s baby & I’ll never hate on Kobe for being Kobe. It’s like dissing my own childhood

    Am glad Jerry Buss aint around to see this cluster-fuk

    Ok... Buss was a 'Player' and was just human with flaws but can't imagine the Lakers would be this low if Jerry was alive & healthy
