    Just when you think the madness is over, it begins again.

    Now I expect a revival of all the Dwight Howard threads on here. sigh. At least it'll give us a break from reading about what Jeremy Lin is having for lunch.

    Sweet. I've felt my Laker hate slipping the last year or so, would love to have it back up and running, full throttle. :)

    I'd be very surprised if both the Lakers and Magic worked a deal and the Rockets weren't even involved.

    Will be very interesting to hear what role Philly and Denver are playing in all this. Either Orlando gets Bynum and tries to keep him, or they are getting major picks/young players from the Sixers and/or Nuggets.

    As most of us knew, Dwight will end up on the Lakers.

    I expect Bynum to be going to either Philly or Denver - not Orlando.
