    I can't believe the Magic accepted that offer over the Rox. Lol

    I won't complain though.

    Magic brass must have some kind of weird sense of loyalty to Dwight. This was clearly the worst deal they could have accepted so far. That franchise can kiss the darkest part of my a$$.

    So is Howard for sure signing in LA? I have doubts that this is a win for them just yet -- maybe I'm just an extreme Laker hater (huge possibility). Like, does anyone have a tally on all the draft picks they've given up this offseason? Combine that with Nash being old, Kobe looking real old during the Olympics, Howard's back, Pau's sandy vagina, Kobe's whiny alpha dog vs. Howard's whiny alpha dog ... I dunno.

    Perfect scenario? Howard's back isn't up to snuff, Kobe's ego clashes with Howard's ego, the triangle offense plus Kobe's chucking all but nullifies Nash's abilities, Ron Artest hurts someone and this thing is Payton/Kobe/Shaq/Malone 2.0.

    One can dream...

    Tony Mejia: No question, w/Lakers, Nuggets & 76ers improving, Magic will get killed perception-wise. Waiting for DH deal specifics to properly chime in. 4 minutes ago

    The NBA has been headed downhill for quite a while, headed towards rock bottom now. How can Stern be so obtuse?

    Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    Well Ok, lets have fun with the kids.

    Though, when the market is set, that's the time Morey ought to sweep in with a better offer. It doesn't look that hard to beat.

    Majics is stoopid, they will be crap for 5 years.

    If everything works out, this will easily be the most watched NBA Finals of all time.

    Quite the haul there. :p Good negotiation for the getting the lower of the DEN/NY pick, too.

    Where would a pick from LAL come from? 2017?

    Denver has all their first rounders plus one from the Knicks, and Philly still had a 2015 or later pick.

    They might as well just cancel the season and skip right to it. That's what they want, it seems, the NBA Finals is the new All Star game.

    I quit the NBA last year. I just follow the moves. Y'all are some suckers. Wake me up when the reign of terror is over. Not mad at LA for gaming the system, just fed up with the system, the girly fouls, the spoiled crybaby stars. Maybe the NFL will buy em' out, turn into a reality TV show for women.

    The details on the deal will come out, they always do, and they're always ridiculous. There's never a good answer man. Morey brother, I feel for you.
