That sort of thing happens in baseball all the time.

What are you talking about?
Giving up 6 young players, 2 1st round picks, and giving New Orleans cap relief is bending the Pelicans over?
It's not like LA is offering 2 young guys, a 1st round pick, and Rondo.
They are literally offering everything they can. Let's not make it sound like LA is trying to short change them here. Come on. It's one thing if New Orleans doesn't accept it, but its not as if Magic didn't put all of his chips on the table

That I agree with. He overreacted. Social Media is not your friend. The more that people realize that, the better off we will be.

If that is the case, and he knew that he was traded, and he still stayed on the bench, then kudos to him. The optics at the time however were not good. Normally when a player gets traded in the middle of a game , they will leave the bench.

I wouldn't say that we deserve better, as that hints of entitlement, and that isn't my style.
But as a devoted fan of this team, through all of the dramas that have happened in the last 40 years, from Magic-Westphal, to Game 6 of the 84 Finals, To Magic's HIV , to the lean years of the mid 90's, to Shaq-Kobe, post Shaq, Post Kobe, 5 years of being horrible, I always had faith that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. That this team had the right people, or get the right people to do the right thing.
My faith in this team is shaken. I don't feel that way right now. And I adore the Lakers. They are probably my 2nd most loved team aside from Juve.
