Bynum on the 6ers is a good look... So is Iguodala in Denver. Dwight playing with Kobe & Nash speaks for itself. The only side of this deal I don't like is with Orlando. I feel like they could've done better if this is their way of moving Dwight. It seems like everyone in this deal progresses while Orlando doesn't, which isn't a good look since they have the player with the biggest name.

Lakers don't either... Bynum & Gasol for Howard & Al Harrington sucks..

But agreed this is an even worse deal from Magic standpoint.. Aaron Afflalo is good, but what really will you get for Pau... Kevin Martin, Patrick Paterson and 1 first, 1 second at best..

 

[do be doo]

Its hilarious yet kind of sad how yall let these sources run your lives. Ive been there too im not even trying to sound like a jerk. Stop buying thks crap. Stop let it occupy your time. Its a waste.
I cant even get interested anymore until things are done.

This. Back in 2010, Lebron made sure I aint listen to any of this sources crap. Never again.

No more Phelps, Bolt, or Women's soccer. You really think ESPN was just gonna lose ratings?

 

[mmg]

The thing is I don't get is D12 said nets or free agency... Lakers really gonna rent D12 for Pau / Andrew ?

What should have been a memorable meeting for 12-year-old Lee Eddins unfortunately won't happen.
Eddins passed away Thursday from leukemia, a day before Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert was scheduled to visit him.
Hibbert sadly won't be able to put a smile on Eddins' face, but he still plans to fly to Sacramento later today as scheduled and meet members of Eddins' family.

damn thats sad

Roy Hibbert: On my way to Sacramento. I'm am heart broken today. I won't be able to meet my lil guy Lee but I will be there for his parents and family. about 3 hours ago

from Roy's twitter. All of his tweets give me the impression that he is much more immersed in "real life" than living the life of an NBA player. I hope he can provide some sort of joy in this sad time for that family

Damn things like that shouldn't happen.. At least let him get his wish.

Dwight will stay in LA

Dwight can't go to the Nets unless traded in January after Brook Lopez becomes trade eligible again. ORL isn't going to hold on to him that long, his only destination is LA. Dwight has said a lot of **** most of which can be taken with a grain of salt. His silly agent is trying to play a lot of this out in the media anyway including saying that D12 would opt out of whatever team he was traded to after next season including Brooklyn.

He also said he'd test free agency if traded to BK....

He came out and requested a trade to LA, and said if traded to LA. He would become a FA and resign with the Lakers.


And MambaMVP there is still a possibility the Rockets gut everything to rent Dwight.

can we all agree on one thing?

Dwight is a moron.

There are plenty of people who think that this is the magic's fault and that the media is manipulating the hate. That Dwight is a victim.

And y'all seriously need to stop bashing Hennigan. Just stop. Let's see what happens. I laughed at the "Nigerian scammer" and he did very well considering the situation.

If the Knicks were involved I know I wouldn't be this logical lol. Let's see what happens

 

[potatoglasses]

/thread

I think if he said nothing, did nothing, just silently requested a trade, Magic would have more leverage, and he'd probably be in Brooklyn or LA by now...

 

[duba169]

Or he could have not signed the year option and signed with the nets when they had the cap space. Kind of shocking how dumb he is

 

[buc em]

I will **** my pants if the Sixers get Bynum. Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase happen.

 

[wavy bone]

Why does Denver want AI9 w/ Gallinari, Chandler, Brewer, Hamilton already there?

Do they move him to the 2 and start Gallinari at the 3?
Keep him at the 3 and move Chandler to the 2?

Doesn't seem like a good fit on paper. Especially when the biggest knock on Denver's roster is that they don't have a "star". AI9 isn't one either.

That's what really annoys me.

Situation could've been easily avoided had he simply not signed the opt in.

It's not like he wanted to go to a team that was over the cap. The Nets had enough cap space for him and Williams.

@DIOR PAINT: After hearing Karl's interviews the entire season I think he's determined to win without a star

It's people freaking out and nitpicking trades that are mentioned on twitter once, never come close to happening.. Then they act like they're sitting in on these phone calls and negotiations.
I'm also seeing nothing but biased judgments. If the trade benefits your team, then it's a no brainer. But if it doesn't, then everyone is a moron and should be fired.

AI9 would be starting SG if he went to Denver

Chandler starting SF

they would be tough to score on

 

[executive76]

Chandler isn't starting over Gallo.

The idea of helping a conference team that's ahead of you get better is just

I'm aware. it isn't my opinion. but plenty of people are on some "F the magic, get it over with and trade dwight he don't wanna be there dont hold him down just trade him now" ish
