Magician: I reminded the Lakers that they can t lose KCP and Caruso at the same time, but they gave Tucker a contract

June 13th News Magic Johnson talked about Caruso who was fighting the finals on a TV show.

Magician said: "Actually, the Lakers' most hurt is the loss of Pope, and then Caruso in the Thunder. They were the best defenders of the Lakers' ball. I told the Lakers this point, and I said that if he lost Pope, he left the team in order to sign a big contract, there is nothing he can do. But you have to keep Caruso, you can't lose both."

"But they signed Horton Tucker for $9 million instead of giving the contract to Caruso, which eventually backfired the Lakers. Who will defend for the Lakers?"
