    Orlando will back out last minute once Houston doesn't up the offer. Book it.

    LOL @ the Magic getting rid of as many long term contracts (just Richardson) while taking on Affalo overpaid 4 year contract.

    $7,562,500
    $7,562,500
    $7,562,500
    $7,750,000 (player option)

    AND Harrington
    $6,687,400
    $7,148,600
    $7,609,800

    While Richardson is only signed for:

    $5,799,625
    $6,204,250
    $6,601,125 (player option)

    Affalo averaged 10 ppg on 40%FG and 20% 3PT in the playoffs. Not that the magic are making the playoffs any time soon.

    Broussard: Lakers were the big winner's in this trade.

    Rob is gonna get fired if this is legit.

    As I kept saying all along, it is a win win situation. We finally have to accept the reality of rebuilding. It would have been great having Dwight, but oh well, at least we get to play our rookies. I'm excited no matter what!

    Is everyone ready for the upcoming civil war regarding whether or not Morey should be fired?

    "OFF WITH HIS HEAD! HE COULDN'T GET US A STAR! THEY'RE UNPROVEN PLAYERS!"

    "DWIGHT WAS NEVER GOING TO STAY! HE WAS SMART, KEEP THE ROOKS! THEY HAVE POTENTIAL!"

    Did David Stern promise The Magic and Rob Hennigan a future #1 OVERALL pick?

    Lebron- Kyrie
    CP3- A.Davis
    Dwight- Cody Zeller

    Yeah, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little happy about that. But I'm so freaking sick of the NBA bending over backwards to give the Lakers players, they gave up Bynum (with no guarantee he'll sign an extension) and got D12 in return....

    Jrue Holiday is a very good young up and coming point guard.

    He's a young player with upside. He can sell tickets and get sponsors from China and Taiwan too.
