I know the Lakers have to get younger, but Pau Gasol and Metta World Peace will be good pickups for two teams next season. Metta isn't a starter, but he's still a tough guy who can hit open shots. He's not an elite defender anymore, but he's matured a ton. Pau has never been a number one guy, but he's severely disrespected. Of course, he plays soft and has old legs, but he's a great post passer, good low post scorer and can extend the post, too.
Good Lord! Metta, Blake and Nash are all out for tomorrow. This season can't end soon enough.
For real. If Magic wants to get holier than thou, Dwight made a poor decision in the heat of the moment to get ejected. It has no impact on the Lakers future. They weren't getting out of this series. Magic Johnson was still arguably the best player in the NBA when actions from his personal life ended his career. He let his teammates and organization down more than any Laker ever. He had at least 4 more years of prime, IMO. He's forgiven because he earned so much grace, which Dwight hasn't earned, but I don't think Dwight's ejection is a big deal at all.
Magic "could" have still played with Aids, he was in shape and ready to go. D White can NOT play after being kicked out of the game for whining like a big *****. Difference there.For real.

That's messed up.
Also, magic is part owner of the team, so he can be as critical as he likes, you doodlehead.
