Not to discuss other leagues in here, but c'mon. It's LeBron wrecking another team and Magic is done with the bull.

Thoughts?

Seems to be more of a problem with the owner than Lebron but who knows.

I am a Magic supporter, however, I find a few points to this story interesting. After all his time associated with the Lakers why did he not discuss this decision with the ownership before making this announcement? Also, Magic tried but realized, after a very short time that coaching The Lakers was not for him. Now he realizes that a management position is is also not for him.
I have to question how he evaluates possible opportunities.

I bet he'd make a good late-night TV host, though.

Magic has survived 28 years with HIV, but only 9 months with LeBron!

I was thinking he should be a judge on American Idol. Oh, wait, he apparently doesn't evaluate talent very well.

Magic has used his smile post-career to get away with so many things. He’s a joke and a multi-time quitter, but he has friends in the right places so he gets away with it.

I mean...You think he wrecked Cleveland? That franchise was a joke before he came. He made them worth something.

When it comes to any wrecking of the Cavs, I'd look to the moron owner. There is no Cavs history worth remembering without Lebron.

1989-1992 was pretty good except for a last second shot my Michael Jordan.

1992 might be the start of a good, short, and empty run.

Lebron has pushed the envelope so much that his legacy is in jeopardy. He will no doubt be considered a great one but the GOAT debate is over. He will either be considered a great stat man like Karl Malone or a great player like Larry Bird. If he continues to act like a diva and play defense whenever he wants and throw his teammates under the bus, he will be like a Karl Malone great (top 50 great) If he goes back to being a hungry monster and considering people like Kevin Durant as basketball enemies and making a point to outplay them at every instance, he will be considered Mt. Rushmore great. I remember Michael Jordan trying to crush people like Ron Harper, he took up and coming players as a challenge. Larry Bird used to go to inner cities and crush people, he even said that putting a white guy on him was disrespectful and he made it his mission to crush the Dominique Wilkins of the NBA. Bird and Jordan had killer instincts and Lebron now carries a murse and drinks wine (vino) on the bench. The Lakers will not get any significant free agents because they don’t want to play second fiddle to Lebron. Lebron will have to be a man this summer and lift his teammates, he will have to push them and the Lakers will have to overpay for a shooter to complement his ball dominant approach. They might be better off trading Lebron for a few picks to a team with cap space and trying to get two superstars to come to LA together. This is also risky because Jeannie buss and Rob Pelinka are two of the worst executives in the NBA.

Are you nuts?

He tumps all the greats you mentioned (not all of them career-wise, yet) as a HS grad joining the league and dominating.

You underestimate his bringing a title to Cleveland. He could have retired after that Marvel-level accomplishment.

If you're a Cavs fan. You need to root for your owner to be eaten by aliens and the franchise eventually being bought by Lebron.

I am a Cavs fan and Lebron is my favorite player. I get frustrated watching him pace his self and throw tragic Johnson passes and go to the whole and look 5’7” instead of 6’8”. Gilbert paid the largest luxury tax in history and we are still paying lebron’s bum friends (jr and Tristan) both signed to Kluth owned by his childhood friend Richie Paul, we traded kyrie and Lebron moved to LA when the going got tough, the problem is that he took the same poor attitude that he had in Cleveland to LA. I want to see him break every record and get 6 titles, but Lebron is content, he is set in his ways. Gilbert just got finished paying mike brown and David blatt after doing anything to keep Lebron and Lebron signed a four year deal with LA (full commitment), which Gilbert never got because Lebron was still touched over some comments made 10 years ago. Lebron played his self trying to stick it to Gilbert.

What?

Gilbert was handed a dynasty and he and little son could not get out of the way.

Leborn's return was to win for Cleveland. He did it and got the hell away from the crappy owner, again.

He could have chosen a better basketball place, but he needs cash.

The Laker/LeBron Soap Opera notches another one. Lakers and Luke Walton agree to part ways.

And yet went to a state with an absurd tax rate......
