Yeah, this pretty much lines up with everything I've been saying thus far. Glad to see twitter and other reports are covering it. I just asked for more details on this meeting after learning that it happened today. Here's what I got for you...



Am told meeting with Magic went well after he explained that given his broader business commitments, a less hands on role with the Lakers was more appropriate, and that he was clashing with those who were grinding on the job more than him. After being briefed by Lakers business execs, Magic cleverly linked this back to LA, saying how his stardom in such a big market afforded him all these business opportunities that ended up sucking up his time away from the Lakers, and have given him both something to be passionate about and generated solid income for him post basketball. Obviously no mention of being forced out as far as I know. Dennis was satisfied with the explanation.



AEG is eager and pressuring Jeanie to close fast. Marketing promos for the big 3 is underway. Kawhi and his camp want assurance that things will run smoothly from the top-down, especially after the coaching debacle and mentions of Laker-nepotism (i.e. Rambis family) etc.



Best,

Mr. Rambis
