    If this trade does take place between the 4 teams, let this be a lesson for the fanbase....

    Many a times, it isn't the "best offer" that wins. The biggest variable / X-factor in any contest of strategy is the human penchant for doing something illogical, even against his or her best interests. Just because you may have the best offer, the best hand, the best anything on the table, does not mean you automatically win.

    "Dwight, would firing Stan make you stay?" "Not at all." "Well, he's fired." "OK. I'm still leaving." "****."

    But they got rings because they drafted superstars that play with the other superstars they acquire. The Knicks are a big market that players love to go to but they haven't been a serious threat in a non shortened season since they drafted Ewing. It's really hard to acquire multiple superstar players.

    Orlando went backwards only getting rid of only 2 bad contracts and taking on long term vets with low round draft picks. Dwights agent got what he wanted bottom line

    They got really good alright but they made Lakers really great! Morey couldve made us really good but he didnt want to make Lakers great.

    The gap between Denver and LAL just widened with this trade.

    Pretty sure that is a fake account.

    Also pretty sure Omer would be happy about these developments.

    Well at least we know we are in a better place than Orlando.

    We have multiple 1st rounders, young talent and cap space.

    Imagine being a Magic fan and having 2 good young players from PHI, 3 garbage lotto protected picks and still keeping Davis, Hedu and taking 2 more contracts"

    Why would anybody want this vetoed? That'll win Dwight over, if stern vetos the trade and we get him he's sure to sign the extension....

    Chris Paul(not happening), Bynum, Josh Smith, Serge Ibaka, Paul Milsap, James Harden, Taj Gibson, Al Jefferson.

    We don't have to offer the max, but we have the room to make a run at one or two of these guys.
