Magic basically explaining word for word why he stepped down.

There's no reasoning with people like that.
We've had the Magic press conference where he basically explains that he sucks at his job, reports that just last Saturday he gave no indication to LeBron or Pelinka that he would quit....but no it's a LeBron power move

I still think LeBron is the one who swindled (relatively speaking) the Lakers into maxing him out as he fell off.

I think it's naive to think part of it wouldn't also be the lebron situation, we had leaks recently of magic wanting to do things differently to how they played out but being forced by lebron into making moves. maybe it's not the key thing and lebron probably has nothing to do with magic leaving but you'd have to think he is part of magic's problems

Clearly this means that no FA's are going to the Lakers, that is the only reason why he would leave. Does this mean that they are going to trade LeBron?

Kobe's not looking to deal with the Lebron/Klutch nonsense

Who outside the desperate Teams wants Lebron right now?
Who are the Teams Lebron would want to go to?

Why? Magic's mandate was that he would bring big FAs to the Lakers or he would quit, he quit. What further analysis is needed here? I'm looking forward to how the Lakers can move forward and continue their youth movement. Is everything alright?
