Paying Phil won't be a problem, as it will seem he will take a paycut (he did donate his $2million bonus to charity).
Magic also said he'd give Buss money if he needs to, to keep Phil.
If TMac were to come here, he'd have to accept the veteran's minimum, as I stated. He's made plenty of
money already throughout his career. He was the highest paid NBA athlete last season, and I'm confident that
winning a ring is a priority now. For the Laker's side, it would be a cheap insurance policy.

Considering that Boston was a relatively weak team, that was not supposed to even make it far into the playoffs if at all, but yet beat the supposed two best teams in the east and then gave the best team in the west a run for its money: what does this say about the current state of the NBA?

Boston turned up the defense in the playoffs. It was like they reverted back to their 2008 self and it got
them all the way to the Finals. I called Boston was going to make the Finals in the last thread, but fell
short on my prediction of LA in 6.
