    I mean imagine how bad it would be if your husband wasn't on the second year of a $201 million contract right?

    I saw Laettner quite a bit in Detroit and he was not a strong man for the NBA
    He got pushed around quite a bit
    Good player but not greaat

    One thing about Magic...I hope he's leaving because he realized he's horrible at this job and not because he's gotten really sick or something.

    He looked healthy, although chunky, at the Final Four.

    He's (almost) 60. He's rich. He doesn't have to fuck around playing nursemaid to LaVar Ball.

    This press conference with Magic is performance art. It is a Boeing plane crash.

    I'd tell you you have no idea what you're talking about, but you know that already.

    Sounds to me like he knew he had to fire the coaching staff, was dreading it, knew Jeanie didn't particularly want them fired, and just thought "Why the hell am I even doing this?"

    Being Magic Johnson is a pretty great gig. Being President of the Lakers is a giant pain, even if you half-ass it. I totally believe him when he says he's bailing because he wasn't having fun.

    I also think this would be a different conversation if he thought there was a decent chance that any top shelf free agents would come to the Lakers this off-season.
