    Every one of our rookies is better than Harkless

    Our Toronto pick by itself is better than ALL the picks Orlando is getting combined

    AND they're taking back bad contracts rather than relieving themselves of them

    It's really hard to fathom what Orlando sees in this trade. Hopefully Hennigan wakes up in the morning and says "WTF am I doing??" to himself, and desperately phones Morey.

    Vince McMahon is impressed with Stern's work.

    If kobe somehow changes his whole game and decides to let someone else run the offense, then they'll make the finals. However, if he keeps on shooting 23 a game on 43 percent shooting, the lakers aren't gonna get anywhere.

    I am glad the Dwightmare is over. I can't imagine going through an entire season of the media circus wondering if he would sign long term with us. I am really curious to see how Dwight play's post back surgery. I will not be surprised at all if he is not quite the same. If his back gives him problems, LA could regret this trade.:eek:

    Funny, even if Kobe wins more rings, he'll have only been the best player on his team for 2 of them.

    same deal with Afflalo. Before yesterday he was just another overpaid SG in the worst era for SG's ever. Now he's all of a sudden an all-star on the come.

    I guess our fans do the same thing with Jeremy Lamb. But it just seems ridiculous from the outside looking in.

    Artest is little more than a fat hockey goon at this point.

    I really respected his game up until a couple years ago. Now he's an inefficient chucker.

    From the Magic boards:

    They are living in denial. Their newb GM made a terrible trade. Just because the Nuggets decided to hold onto their incoming assets doesn't mean they made an inferior superstar trade compared to the Cavs. Denver made a conscious decision to keep competing for playoff spots without a superstar player. Had they chosen the tanking and rebuilding route, they could have easily unloaded many of those incoming players (Gallinari, Chandler, Felton, etc.) for more draft picks and rebuilt from scratch. Magic fans are trying to convince themselves that their GM knows what he's doing and that the plan is simply to be terrible. Sorry guys, it's possible to be terrible with assets, too. They done f'd up!
