Via Momo on Maginka "They got the 2 of the biggest and best jobs in the NBA, and I think there's been some lack of self awareness of how many other people wanted those jobs when they got it. Who wouldn't want to be present and GM of LAL? #Lakers
“Especially In LA with the young core they started to build. As u know back when they got the job it happened real fast, there wasn’t an audition for anybody else. Jeanie fired her brother and fired Mitch and hired Maginka right away”
“There was a lot of people hoping & trying to get a shot. When u walk into a situation where the rest of the league resents the fact that u got the job & got that job w/ the experience and background”
“In a lot of ways LAL job is a job u should work for 3 other org b4 u get it”

“Able to charm and play his way through anything. The problem for them so far is, it’s not a basketball court, u can’t charm ur way through anything and get something because ur Magic”

“If they don’t get anybody this summer (Via big FA or big trade) & have to try again next yr, boy that pressure is gonna be a lot, & I don’t know what’ll happen after that”
“Magic even said it, if we don’t get 2 FA over 3 summers I’m out”
“Magic even said it, if we don’t get 2 FA over 3 summers I’m out”
“Any number of things can happen where next yr is just as bad as this one. I could see a scenario he (Magic) doesn’t stick around, but that’s me speculating knowing his previous comment (not a report)”
