If by that you mean Neil doesn't want to give up assets to get him that would result in the Blazers being a worse team after the trade than before, then I agree.
It sounds to me like Magic is already making excuses. In spite of having LeBron fall in his lap, and the appeal of the LA lifestyle, he hasn't been able to pull off any trades or land any significant free agents. Just look at who he's added since signing LeBron, all while whiffing on PG13 and Kawhi, who both said they wanted to play for the Lakers: Rajon Rondo - headcase, can't shoot. Lance Stephenson - headcase, can't shoot. JaVale McGee - headcase, can't shoot. Now he's trying to make it sound like these are the types of players he'd intended to surround LeBron with all along. Yeah right, I'm sure that was part of his sales pitch to LeBron. Hey BronBron, forget shooting, I'm going to surround you with guys who can't shoot. I already got you Lonzo, now we're adding Rajon and Lance. You won't mind getting quadruple teamed on every possession, will you? You can handle that you're the greatest player in the world. You don't need a Big 3. Forget PG13 and Kawhi. You can do it all on your own and go down in history as the (second... cough,cough) greatest Laker ever! It could also be a thinly veiled cheap shot at Mike D'Antoni. They have a feud going back several years. Even D'Antoni's wife is in on it: In any case, glad Magic is running the show in LA. Great player, shitty coach and shitty exec. BNM
I know he was, and he was strong as an ox. He didn't have great natural ability much like Meyers. Seems it took a great while for him to take off in the pros and contribute.
Yes, because people are just so damn happy to be at the DMV they need something to wipe those giddy smiles off their faces. BNM
Sounds like he'd love to play with a group of hard working, overachieving professionals. Anyone else think Dame would be the PERFECT teammate for Jimmy Buckets? He's practically screaming "Trade me to Portland!!!!". BNM
