He let the CANCER of LeBum and his gangster camp in .   Magic HAD to know hevwas going to have to fire Luke . I called it soon as Lebum was signed ,  young Luke wants to actually coach ....not be a stooge for Lebum like Lue .    Sure enough Lebron is getting tearing up the fragile low IQ FO .   Pilinka had zero experience as a GM , and GMs don't like him in general.    He is being pushed and led around by Lebron James . 

The spoiled Buss daughter , siezed control threw out people who understood the business.    People that would not let LeBum slime and sleaze his way into the gut of the organization . 

They made a deal with the devil and now its all coming home to roost.

What a mess.  Sooner James is out of the NBA THE BETTER.

I bet he knows getting another star FA to LA this summer is going to be hard and unlikely so he is leaving now before he gets blamed for that. The next moves will be telling for LA. If they go ahead and hire former Lebron yes men at GM and coach, we will all know who was behind everything.

If what Woj is reporting is true, Magic's resignation changes nothing for the Lakers. Magic was an absentee GM. If Pelinka stays on for now, he and his staff can move on with whatever their plans are for the off-season.

Magic did steal the NBA news cycle on Nowitski and Wade's retirement nights. He could have waited until Thursday for this.

I want to laugh heavily - and I have laughed some, but I will abstain from complete schadenfreude until Kyrie re-signs.

So, he wanted to be president of ops without having to actually work at it.

Now he has to go back to his normal, rich life.

Poor guy.

Also, the Clippers say thank you for gift wrapping them Ivaca Zubac for practically nothing.

schadenfreude is the name of the game on this thread.
TP.
Now, please excuse me, I need to go schadenfreude-ing for a while.

They're thanking the Lakers for gifting them Jerry West, too

He kept his word didn't he say if he did not turn it around in two years he would step down?

My son thinks they asked him to do so because they want to gain favor with the Pelicans for a new deal.

Lebron literally leaves every team he was on or is on in shambles.

Significantly bad timing.  Magic was also very passive-aggressive in his comments.  He said he wasn't able to text Wade and Nowitski to congratulate them.  Why?  Crocodile tears too.  Give me a break.

Typical Magic.  Stealing the media spotlight on a night where it should've been shining on Wade & Dirk.
