so, youre telling me the Sixers got Bynum and J Rich for Iguadala, thats highway robbery. I dont care if Bynum doesnt stay next year, Iggy was probably gone after this year anyway.

 

[pepperjackchees]

Ehhhh, still don't see the Heat not winning next year, but the possibility of the Lakers in the Finals....

:x:x Hopefully age dooms them immediately and they get knocked the first round even faster than the Knicks will next year.

And if that doesn't happen, there's always Dexter Pittman

I'm still flabbergasted by Orlando's return in this deal.

I understand not wanting to take on Lopez and his max deal, but if this is what you're going to get for the best Center in the league then you minus whale have taken Yolo Bynum and risk him potentially walking at the end of the season.

I'll give it to the Lakers though; they don't rebuild, just re-tool.

The majority of Lakers' fans on here are going to be even more unbearable (which I didn't think was humanly possible).

Ugh.

 

[hankmoody]

Orlando would suck this year with Jeremy Lamb too.


I need to go workout or something. This is ridiculous.

 

[Jumanji]

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.

Stole the words right out of my mouth!!!!

So easy to be a Lakers fan

 

[ag 47]

It was inevitable once BK pulled out.
at these laker fans now though. When Miami formed a "super" team dudes were >:>:>: and talking about "cheaters" and all kinds of other BS. Now it's all good though right? Go figure.
This dude Kobe has been BLESSED in his career. He will now play with the BEST center in TWO different eras.

 

[mr j 858]

oh yeah i forgot... the heat had no answers for the knicks front court either right? ... cant wait... wade, ray, battier, lebron, bosh...

Dude is seriously comparing our front court to the Knicks

****

 

[buc em]

Wow. Sixers open the season at home against the Nuggets too. **** just blew my mind.

 

[Pathos]

The sodium levels in here

 

[jesusshuttlesworth34]

My basketball nightmares have come true....Heat vs Lakers nba finals? I'd rather watch paint dry...

Watching paint dry is boring....A Lakers vs Heat finals with Kobe and Lebron and their supporting cast of stars would be farrrrrr from boring my man.

I am not a fan of either team, but the basketball fan in me would appreciate the hell out of that finals.

 

[miamin2]

Its like orlando's FO was holding out for the worst possible deal they could find

 

[foreverdecember21]

Just saw the news...

So Pau is not part of the deal in at all?

Good for the Lake show. I like Iggy in DEN. Sixers did well ... Orlando But like dude said... theyll most likely get #1 overall nxt yr..

 

[pmatic]

It's awesome that since the lockout was lifted, small(er) market owners have agreed to trade Chris Paul, Steve Nash and Dwight Howard to the Lakers.

 

[essential1]

Broussard sound heart broken that a trade happened

Don't even try to make sense of it.  They only wanted LeBron to stay in Cleveland because it was obvious they weren't gonna win a ring with all the bad contracts they had.

I hope Stern declines the trade.  Lakers are doing a 1-to-1 trade, Bynum for Howard.  That's ridiculous, and it's not like their first round pick is gonna be early anyway

Somebody keep an eye out on the Olympic Village and the streets of London....Kobe is probably out raging somewhere right now

Chris Broussard

Philly needs some love for getting Bynum. That's a young, defensively SOLID team. And they have cap room.

I think he was just heartbroken he wasn't the first to report it....ESPN ran a whole article on him and how he was clowned for constantly being slow on the trigger on twitter and such. Dude was all in his emotions on TV when Miami would lose in the postseason.

 

[ag 47]

Just thought about 2K

Chris Broussard is the dude who makes 6 alliances right from the jump and gets voted out 1st in Survivor.
