    Cool....he's a player.

    Get him and lets keep it moving.

    Back up 2 or 3....might could even eventually start at 3 and Pars off the bench if he's that good.

    LOL Rudolph not understanding the salary cap.

    Jarrod Rudolph: If the Lakers potentially are going to give up both Bynum and Gasol for D12, why not just make that deal to Orlando and cut out middle men? about 7 minutes ago

    Works in the trade machine just by adding Duhon:

    Keep your Dwightard. I'll keep Lamb and DNuts. No I'm not delusional like some people here thinking both will be regular allstars. But I do think our first round draft pick next year will be a superstar if we go with what we got.

    We are getting a superstar one way or another. Orlando created no leverage with all this wasted effort. I do agree with emjohn: take another piece off the table as a way to teach the new GM a lesson. Stop pulling our legs, noob,

    I think your reasoning is somewhat logical. The only argument I would have is that with rookies you never know what you are going to get. It is easier to project with veterans who at least have a history of what they are capable of doing. I don't know if this team will be better but I do have to say it is interesting to see how it is taking shape and what kind of final look it will have at the end of the basketball year when all is said and done.

    I couldn't agree more, but if the Magic mess everything up out of spite, Morey will take on deserved criticism for once again failing to land the big one. If this happens it would be unfortunate because I believe Morey is revolutionary in the way he is going about building a championship team. However, in the end all that matters are results! Time is ticking for everyone!

    He thinks Jones was signed a month ago. Don't know why. He even said he doesn't trust media reports (IE Berman/Feigan reporting when Jones actually signed).

    And Bynum would sign an extension before the trade? Philly accepts to get him without it?

    Why? People are on here calling for his head because they suspect that he's giving up way to much for Dwight. But what if he doesn't land Dwight and later on we find out that in order to get Dwight we would've had to give up the Toronto Pick, Dallas' pick, T.Jones, J. Lamb, D-Mo, Parsons, K.Mart, Arian Foster's Hamstring, Matt Schaub's Foot, Wade Phillips' playbook, the Astrodome, all the doctors in the medical center, and the workout rights for Hakeem Olajuwon? Then what? Are you still going to say he deserves criticism?

    In possible Dwight Howard trade, Sixers would also send center Nikola Vucevic to Orlando, source tells Y! Sports. 7fter avg 5.5 pts,4.8 rbs.
