Jonathan Feigan of the Houston Chronicle is clearly upset with Magic Johnson and the double standard which seems to apply to the former Laker great.

Who does Magic Johnson work for, asks Feigan? When he is introduced as Lakers' Vice President, does that mean he works for the Lakers?

Magic described Luol Deng as the Bulls' best player, one the Lakers would, of course, covet. He spoke of the Pacers' Jermaine O'Neal. He blatantly was tampering, at least as it applies to other employees of NBA teams.

Lakers' coach Phil Jackson would be fined for that, as he was last season when he said nothing beyond the obvious about Chris Bosh. Magic, however, is a beloved NBA made man. No one is going to call him out. But if next season he says that Deng should sign a one-year contract and become an unrestricted free agent, one the Lakers for example would love, wouldn't the Bulls have a right to suggest he chose a career and go with that.
