Magic doesn’t seem to think the rules should apply to him and I can understand his POV….. he’s never followed a rule in his life.

there’s not a whole lot of non knick players I’ve “liked” over the years…I couldn’t stand michael jordan…

I’m with ya, Geo. I was never able to appreciate MJ, still to this day. It’s a shame.

It knock them down to either a 20 or 26% chance at a top 4 pick, depending on their last game. Very big for a team hoping to get their pick in 2021.

They were at 37% before this two game winning streak. Credit to them after a shameful tank job last year. They had the decency to respect Dirk’s final game more than percentage points.

If Tottenham could beat Man City today than we can beat the Bulls…

With it being the first big match at the new stadium and the fact that Poch has a great record v Pep going back to Spain, I (as a spurs supporter since ‘04) felt pretty good about the first leg. Next week, not so much.

to be honest, there’s not a whole lot of non knick players I’ve “liked” over the years…I couldn’t stand michael jordan…

Yeah, it feels like a guy who just doesn’t need the bullshit around this anymore. He’s been through so much, he took a job he didn’t need and has been ridiculed for months now. I’m not going to pity him because well, he did do a garbage job, and he’s rich and successful enough for this to be just a blip on his resume, but it has to feel bad for him how it all went.

It’s truly amazing that he is where he is right now. What a charmed life!

In other news, did anyone else realize that the Mavs can’t finish any worse than tied for 7th and with a win in game 82 will finish 9th worst? GO MAVS!!!

He seems like a guy that is pretty personable with everyone, so that cut throat GM mentality would wear on someone like that. Still, absolutely bizarre situation and I am just happy it’s not the Knicks for a change.

Him repeating that Jeannie Buss had no idea about him leaving was the strangest thing. Like, why the hell would you emphasize that so much? to make the franchise he says he loves so much look like even more of a dysfunctional mess?

This makes me think that maybe he sincerely just got fed up and decided it was enough. If he was still working with the Lakers in some capacity, wouldn’t they just come up with something like “hey I talked to Jeannie and I’d rather focus on my other businesses, wish all luck to the franchise”.

I think he’s so connected to the Lakers that he’ll still be involved in some way, and obviously they would want him to talk to top free agents if those guys want it, but the timing and the way it was done is so weird it might just be sincere.

And to add on to Jowles comment: I’d be more than happy to not have fun at his job for a year.
