LeBron's PR team working overtime this offseason to let everyone know that nothing is ever his fault.
Hope LeBron gives them a fat christmas bonus this year. |

Does that analysis seem overly optimistic to anyone else or is it just me?

Long gone are the days when our franchise player let his play do the talking and didn't make excuses for poor effort.

I thought people in general would be giving him a lot more flak for that "playoff mode" baloney... at least while the playoffs are going on. |

I could definitely see how an independent film maker making videos about Lebron is the same thing as his PR team sweeping his bad play under the rug. |

Me thinks LeDeFactoGM needs to be working very hard on recruiting Kawhi to be his co-star here instead of worrying about his image so much and faffing about with Instagram videos.  |

Magic was rarely there and probably pissed off a bunch of players with that talk before the Philly game, so I imagine that's a feeling shared by most if not all of the players. |

He said, "Aye Kuz what we doing tonight" to celebrate the occasion. |

Ya, interesting reaction. Guess Lonzo won't miss him and is happy he's gone? |

Lol, the attempted trade still on their minds then.
He probably shouldn't be saying things like that out loud though, after all Magic did draft him and still has a lot of clout in LA land. It's okay for LeBron in year 16, not Lonzo in year 2. |

Certainly not the reaction of someone suffering a loss, though.
Now that I think about it, who in the Laker family was sad to see him go? |

Lonzo Translation: "Magic was a joke and I never thought I'd see this day. We need to drink to this bro".

LeBron's response: man, you couldn't even give me the respect to tell me yourself since you're the one who brought me in (though he indicates he wanted to be here regardless)
Lonzo's: this is wild but who gives a F he's gone |

Yeah, kind of just proves the point Magic had pretty much lost the respect of not only the front office but the players as well.
This is exactly why I hope Kobe doesn't ever come back to the lakers in a coaching or front office position.. I want to remember the all time greats as greats.. Magic will obviously always be an all time great player but outside of that he's kind of a clown and obnoxious ever since tbh. |

Magic wanted to trade ‘em all and when he didn’t succeed, he pretty much called them babies lol so I’m not surprised by his reaction here. No love lost there for sure.

Heard on the latest Emplay pod that the Davis trade debacle was thought to be all Magic, offering the kitchen sink, leaking the deals and failing to deny the reports, then telling the players to toughen up. Pelinka was on the outside.
For the young guys who basically never saw Magic play, I could see them being happy Magic was gone. He wasn't a very easy boss to work for. |
