Title: Re: Video of Magic Johnson's Comments After Lakers Eliminated in NBA Playoffs Post by: Marshal Dillon on May 09, 2011, 07:28:37 PM Basically, what he said was trade one center (Bynum or Casol), get some athletes (read: younger) who are more active and more energetic. Here's their ages:
Ron Artest 31 Kobe Bryant 33 (in August) Derek Fisher 37 (in August) Lamar Odom 31 Paul Gasol 31 (in July) Andrew Bynum 23 Luke Walton 31 Shannon Brown 25 These are the main starters & subs. It's obvious they have some real age issues. :o Title: Re: Video of Magic Johnson's Comments After Lakers Eliminated in NBA Playoffs Post by: 2Stater on May 09, 2011, 07:35:15 PM Basically, what he said was trade one center (Bynum or Casol), get some athletes (read: younger) who are more active and more energetic.

He as playing with Kobe when he was a rookie, along with Shaq, Nick Van Exel, & Byron Scott. It's time for him to go. He just doesn't have it as a PG anymore.
