Magic Johnson is at it again.
Despite being fined on two separate occasions for violating league tampering rules, Magic Johnson might be in line for another fine.

What Magic said is unknown, but given his fine history talking involving Paul George and Giannis Antetokoummpo, we can only imagine what Magic was talking about to LeBron’s agent, Rich Paul.
LeBron, as most know by now, has been several teams’ first priority this summer. LeBron has a $35.6MM player option this summer, which most of us speculate he will decline to become an unrestricted free agent.
The Lakers are among four teams (Rockets, 76ers, Cavs) that are reportedly on LeBron’s wish list should he decline his player option. The billboard battle (which excludes Houston) has been quite entertaining over the past several weeks:

None of us can predict where LeBron will end up next season, but right now he should be focusing on what’s unfolding right in front of him. The Cavs (38-28) have slipped to 4th after Sunday night’s loss to the Lakers, and are only one game ahead of Philly, who currently occupy the 6th seed.
