Possible explanation as to why Magic Johnson was courtside Monday night
Magic scouting Kidd for Lakers?
Posted: Wednesday May 16, 2007 07:28AM ET
Lakers minority owner Magic Johnson sat in the first row at the Meadowlands on Monday night and it's unclear if he was scouting Jason Kidd for Jerry Buss. During the All-Star Break, when talks with the Lakers heated up, Kidd sounded upbeat about playing for the Lakers, raising speculation he initiated the talks.

Well to be fair, that was after Stern changed the league policy on carrying weapons and KG could no longer distract Zach with his pump, uzi and couple M-16s.

Re: Possible explanation as to why Magic Johnson was courtside Monday night
What a ****ing ridiculous premise. What, is Kidd some unknown high school kid who teams aren't really sure of? He's been in the league for 13 years. Everyone knows what he can do, including the Lakers. Just a stupid idea.

....and Kidd was not about to help lead that team to the championship, given the pieces that would have gone to NJ, Odom amongst others.

By all accounts, Odom wasn't a part of the deal.

Re: Possible explanation as to why Magic Johnson was courtside Monday night
How about he was in New York City for a function, and decided to attend a basketball game because he enjoys it. I guess a little too dramaless for the writers.

Berman regularly insults the readers intelligence. This is written for 14 year olds and idiots.
Moreover, Magic is a big investor in New York real estate, including in the Williamsburg Bank tower in Brooklyn, right down the street from a Net property.

Geez, and Bynum was the hold up. Could have taken out PHX if Odom-Bryant-Kidd was the 3 headed monster there.

Magic said during the TNT telecast that he was in NJ to raise money for a worthy cause (I forget what it was).
