I don't believe what I just read. I don't believe what I just read.


I just don't understand. I just don't understand.


If any writer out there spins this positively for the Magic, please post the article. I'd really like to read it.

Magic got bent over the table and abused by Booty Warrior Johnson, no vaseline

 

[YouGotThese]

Nash, Kobe, Artest, Gasol, Howard!!!!! What the F$@? !!!!!!!

Why would the Magic stack the Lakers to be one of the best teams on "paper" in the NBA? They're trading the best center in the NBA for bums?!?!?

best time to use this

think orlando cares? no matter who they got they wouldn't be winning **** for 4 years.

 

[duba169]

I am shocked. At least lebron won't be getting another

 

[JCMojica24]

This is why so many people hate the Lakers. They never have to rebuild and they always get the superstar players. I still think OKC can beat them in a 7 game series though.


If the Magic just wanted a few first round draft picks, they should have taken Houston's deal, imo

Why do they care? They'll suck and go into rebuild mode.

This makes the Heat repeat that much sweeter next season.

Prokhorov has a hit squad of ex-KGB goons on the way to Hennigan as we speak.

Yankees of basketball, but at least Yankees have a few homegrown players every few years.

All LA Heat fans are Laker fans again

THIS. >:

Like honestly, the Magic waited half a year and passed on Brook Lopez, Bynum, AND Gasol so they could bring in Arron Afflalo and Al Harrington? Highway robbery. Just like the Gasol trade 4 years ago.

 

[Pathos]

What's stopping a Heat v. Lakers finals?

This. NBA is rigged man. Nba is making up for not letting that paul trade go through.

It all has to be ********, makes no sense

 

[bossplaya0625]

Wow so the lakers get Dwight without giving up Pau? Orlando doesnt even get Bynum or Iggy out the deal, just 3 low first round picks and role players smh

 

[wavy bone]

Dwight Howard would rip that Heat frontline apart. And who's leaving who to go double team him?

 

[flyerthandelta]

best time to use this

Perfect +1

 

[big j 33]

And people shouldn't mention that Houston deal.. There's no way they offered that many young players AND taking on bad contracts.

 

[flacobey]

I don't understand what the Magic were thinking. They give up the best player in the trade and receive the three worst in the deal. Why not ask for Iggy or Bynum? Someone enlighten me

 

[airjordan jb23]

Orlando

They had some good offers throughout this whole Dwightmare & they went with this deal. I don't know what to say

Every other team ended up improving, though.

LA is going to be scary

 

[humpasaurus rex]

Umm doesn't Pau go to Orlando???

The Lakers and Magic are again discussing a trade involving Dwight Howard, according to sources.

The two teams are also involving the 76ers and Nuggets in trade talks. Talks have been ongoing for several days and are substantive even though no agrement is close.

The deal would send Howard and Al Harrington to the Lakers, Andre Iguodala going to the Nuggets, Andrew Bynum to the Sixers, while the Magic would receive Pau Gasol, Arron Afflalo and Nikola Vucevic.

Orlando could trade Gasol in a future trade to receive additional assets, whereas the team runs the risk of losing Bynum in free agency in 2013.

The Magic would also acquire draft picks and cap relief.

ESPN's Chris Broussard reports that a deal is close and could be agreed upon on Friday, while Marc Stein indicates a trade call has been scheduled with the league office for Friday

Welp. At least NBA memes will bring the comedy again after a long hiatus.

 

[mr j 858]

F The Heat !!!

Bring them on !!!!

You Heat fans. Lebron D-Riders better be scared.

Your team has ZERO answers for our front court and we got Nash to pick your team apart and kill you with 3's.

 

[ag 47]

Good thing Orlando resigned Jameer Nelson.
