    I don't know the deets about the Toronto trade, but it's my understanding we got a lottery, a non lotto pick, and 2 2nd's?

    Let's trade our rights from the Atlanta pick, all 4 Raptor picks, the Dallas pick, and our own future pick, along with Donatas, Patterson, Leurer, and whatever else Orlando wants.

    I just want to see some exciting basketball. I'm actually dreading the start of the regular season this year for the first time ever.

    He said we'd be super happy on Thursday. Today's Thursday, so he must have been referring to the Lowry trade. Thanks Doc Rocket for predicting the rebuilding process!

    It's too late. We're going to trot out Dwight Howard, Omer Asik, and Jeremy Lin?

    Keep hope alive!:

    Jonathan Feigen ‏@Jonathan_Feigen
    Maybe, but that's what they're trying to do. RT @tombrokeoff: @Jonathan_Feigen thats ridiculous
    FavoritedFavorite 7m Jonathan Feigen ‏@Jonathan_Feigen
    That and anything else they want. RT @accfanto: @Jonathan_Feigen So is the TOR pick now officials part of the Dwight package?

    Asik will be traded to ORL.

    You guys keep laughing, I have reasons to be optimistic.

    Asik can't be traded for a year.

    So we trade Martin and Scola and picks and maybe some young players for a DH rental because look at who's left after that...doubt you'd get him to stay on that team.

    Dwight won't do anything but mess up our 2013 pick.

    unless we manage to get CP3 next year, I don't see how Howard can stay here IF we get him.

    If Feigen is correct that the Rockets are still trying to trade for Dwight, since Orlando just agreed to a new deal with Jameer Nelson, maybe Morey felt that a future lottery pick from the Raptors would be a more enticing piece to Orlando to the trade package than Kyle Lowry.

    The Lowry trade makes it more likely. Not sure why everyone is concluding the opposite.

    We dont have the best package......The magic want a PLAYER not picks mixed in with rookies and slightly above level talent (Scola/Martin)...........

    I wonder if it's a coincidence that the Magic sign Nelson and we trade Lowry for a guaranteed lottery pick on the same day...
