SAS: Magic was influenced into drafting Zo by Buss family to boost sales

I don't agree with this at all. Magic wouldn't have come out in the introductory press conference the way he did if that was the case.

SAS is basically protecting his own behind by saying this. He hailed Magic as a basketball savant and its now evident that he is anything but that. The guy is a complete idiot when it comes to his current job so SAS is now putting blame on the ownership. At the time ESPN was all in on Ball, Magic had his stupid presser with Lonzo and all the media was giving Magic BJs for drafting Lonzo. Now all of the sudden its all Jeanies fault. Of course, SAS has to protect his own and his boy Magics ass because they both look stupid now. What a joke haha

Forked tongues cover potential SNAFUs down the road and sends the message, “I got your back Magic, and sensationalistic loud mouth semi-true journalistic statements are us”.
