I Need The NBA To Have Eyes On Magic Johnson At All Times Tonight In Portland
So obviously the big story tonight is LeBron is debuting for first time in a game that actually counts for the Lakers. Already the biggest story wherever he goes, this isn’t exactly new. However, don’t think I don’t know what the Lakers are going to be up to. Part of me thinks they brought LeBron in so that he could suck in all the attention leaving Magic free to work in the shadows and tamper the shit out of everyone. So naturally, with more and more rumors talking about the Lakers and Damian Lillard (gee wonder from where!), I am on full alert tonight and I need the league to be as well.
What is one thing we know about Magic? He could not care less when it comes to tampering. He loves it, he needs it, he thrives on it. Problem is he really stinks at it and has been fined like over $500k for it. Whatever, pocket change for him and the Lakers if it ends up working. Now here’s the good news, Dame has 3 years and almost $90M left on his deal, so this isn’t exactly a Paul George type situation but look we can’t take any chances here. It’s not often that LeBron doesn’t get what he wants and I for sure believe the reports that he wants Dame to be a Laker. Why wouldn’t he? Lillard is one of the best guards in the entire league and is currently right smack in the middle of his prime. He is a win now star player, something LeBron needs to start collecting. Now how on earth could the Lakers pull off a trade for a guy that has a $27M, $29M, $31M salary? Most likely involving a third team and some expiring deals but don’t worry about the details. Teams will figure that out.
Here’s what I need. If you are going to be at this game tonight in POR, I need you to have your eyes open. I need you to get to the arena early and find your way to shootaround/warm ups. If it looks like Magic is getting a little to friendly with Dame you let me know and we will call Adam Silver together. It is our job to nip this in the bud before the seed can be planted.
So Magic, be aware, I’m fucking watching you and your electric, brain washing, dynamite smile
