    "Screw trading for Bynum!! It's not worth facilitating a move that guarantees the Lakers another championship!"

    Well, they got DH12 anyway. Solid reasoning there.

    Bah. This team is going to be dreadful, but whatever. Maybe we'll get two top-five picks in next year's crappy draft.

    It can no longer be seriously argued that superstar players aren't calling the shots. The only way we're getting a star is through the draft. Period. Let's just go ahead and make that our #1 priority, Mzrey.

    Yeah, so we are unwilling to part way with both Lamb and DMo, fine. Why is so much disappointment/negativity around here with no deal with Orlando?

    Thus, some pieces could continue moving in and out of the deal. But the framework sending Howard to the Lakers is in place.

    Bing!

    Today was a good day!

    Rox are gonna be very good for a long time all because they didn't have a choice and were forced into rebuild.

    Tough love but they will be SO happy this happened and so will all the angry bird, fair weathers.

    I'm hype!

    Where are y'all getting that Bynum will resign with Philly?

    "Sources" or a real source?

    Two of the sources caution that they have not heard directly from Orlando management that the Magic have agreed to the deal.

    The Los Angeles Lakers will likely receive Dwight Howard, Chris Duhon and Earl Clark.

    Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA
    The Denver Nuggets will likely receive Andre Iguodala and possibly one other asset.

    Heh, the Magic are actually getting older, adding on garbage, and staying the course with no possibility of a reset for awhile.

    These guys are as delusional as some of our most ardent Morey stans.

    Bring on the youngsters. But the media misfiring yet again would be very delicious.

    Take the lumps, kid.

    Next season they'll be vying for #1

    He'll be straight.

    I just hope rox can get a top 3 next season and that Tor pick ends up being good too.

    This team is so set up.

    Peeps don't see it yet.....I know.

    But trust....rox are in a good spot!!!

    You all will see!

    Fairly large market, good young talent, close to home. I don't see why he wouldn't.
