※ 引述《randleslaker (It's the new Lakers)》之銘言:
: @ramonashelburne
: 湖人在這周之前,曾感覺到必須有第二大咖的急迫性。
: 不過 Magic Johnson 在上周六晚上和 LeBron 交換過意見後,LeBron 向球隊保證
: 這次長期計畫,他的決定不會因為球隊是否完成交易而改變。
How did the Lakers close this? Magic Johnson went to one of LeBron’s houses
in LA late Saturday night and met with him for several hours.
湖人怎麼搞定這筆大約的?
魔術強生星期六拜訪了 LeBron 的家,並且深談數個小時。
The Lakers all planned to congregate at their facility last night for free
agent calls. Magic was expected to be there. Instead he was at LeBron’s house
— closing.
本來湖人球團計畫是在自由球員開市時,所有人聚集在湖人設施當中,
Magic 本來也預期是待在那裡。
而不是去 LeBron 的家 — 關門。
This was a very hush-hush operation. Lakers knew they needed to give Bron
space to decide and announce it as he wanted. None of us reporters could even
confirm they’d been in touch whereas calls with Cavs & Sixers leaked. Says
something on the discipline for all involved
這是一個非常寂靜的運作,湖人知道他們必須給 Bron 空間讓他自己決定何時發表。
沒有任何記者可以確認他們接觸過。
所以檯面上看到的只有七六人和騎士接觸的消息 XD

「我是魔術強生」
庫胖:不可能的。我當GM十年,你只不過當第一年,不可能這麼厲害!
魔術:這種事,很講天份的。
