WhereTF is verb with this Magic Johnson news?

did he get AIDS again?

Yes at that Zaire Wade parade in Miami

oh, snap

[verb_to_trust]

LeBron must be truly insufferable for Magic to quit like this.

[verb_to_trust]

Jamal Crawford really stole Dirk's Thunder tonight with that 50 piece.

Haha holy shit. L.A. is imploding. No one is going to want to go there. Have a nice end of your career, LeBron. Maybe you can trade for slacker John Wall and get him out of Washington

[verb_to_trust]

Who is trading for Wall? Horrible contract, poor work ethic, coming off Achilles injury. He's done.

[verb_to_trust]

Hot take: Losing Magic makes the Lakers better as surely they will hire a guy who can actually do the job now.

Yeah I was joking. I just want him out of Washington

Yup

[Electromatic]

its almost like Rich Paul and Lebron didn’t realize how much better the western conference was and how little influence they had on other teams to gift them talent.

Now all this about Magic not taking the job seriously.

The Lakers haven’t been run well for what a decade?

Lebron chose acting over basketball, whatever,it’s his decision.

Why is it so hard to say that the Lakers aren’t relevant right now because ownership has been poor?

Hiring Magic, who has a million other things going on, was always a stupid move.

He was going to bring in so many marque free agents!!!

Players don't care about guys like Magic anymore. Hell, even LeBron is having a hard time getting guys for Space Jam 2.

This.

[verb_to_trust]

How does Magic resigning help him "regain a stronger hold in the African American and Latino communities"? Wtf does that even mean?

More paid speaking engagements to "motivate and inspire" said communities.

Inb4 the Lakers hire the only person who cares less about that job than Magic...Phil Jackson. And he promptly trades LeBron and his posse and then spends the rest of his contract on a small island in the South Pacific.

lebron has ruined his legacy

Does Phil still bang Jeannie? I don't think there is any chance Phil gets another GM job. The Lakers would probably be much less of a mess if LeBron had never signed. It's pretty hilarious.

I don't understand how you're putting this on LeBron. Magic thought this job would be easy and that guys would flock to LA and he'd get all the credit and still running around living his life. The job turned out to be tough and he sucked at it and didn't want that responsibility so he bounced.
