I do not understand the thought process of NBA General Managers, time to never guess trade scenarios ever again.

So the plan was to give up Russell, the 2nd pick and the 27th Pick to get a player who has already said he wants to sign for you for free next year.

How loving dumb is Magic jesus christ

He had to resign from the Lakers slightly over a year ago because he kept loving tampering on twitter

And then they brought him back

Seriously. I imagine GMs fall into 3 categories:

1) the 10-15 GMs who have serious ADD and are constantly texting trying to make a deal to marginally improve, acquire never realized assets or create soon to be poorly used cap space.
2) The 7-10 GMS who don't do much but work on long term stuff and occasionally fleece the morons from category 1.
3) The 3-5 who don't have phones/live in Montana/chain smoke cigarettes.

Ah yes, 4D chess where Magic is currently panicking, trying to move down in the draft because he realized he didn't have enough to trade for George
