    Point of the story is..who cares. Everyone is so quick to get upset about not getting these guys. Well guess what, you build though the draft. We sucked before we got Hakeem, the Bulls sucked before they got Jordan.

    We havent even seen a single regular season game and people are already freaking out.

    No offense but "in morey we trust" motto is just getting old.... not saying lets get rid of morey but come on how the heck can you get excited about this team..... we have been crap for the past 12 years.... atleast if we have traded for a superstar there is something to get excited about..... now what???

    To me, this trade makes sense from a pure basketball standpoint for Orlando.

    Its hard to continue to believe the league is legitimate when the same franchise keeps getting the top players over and over again.

    I'm not a tin-foil hat kinda hat but......man.....

    This gives the conspiracy theorists more and more credence by the minute.

    An all-star olympian to help their own cause while getting rid of what they consider dead weight.

    And I raise you "how could we have traded for a superstar when the idiots who trade these stars prefer peanuts over our more valuable assets?"

    I still just don't get it. Why does Orlando do this? It makes no sense for them. I'd rather just let Howard walk and let him sign with what teams can actually afford him this off season which isn't much. I'm sick of teams giving in to their diva player demands. **** Dwight. b****.

    Now the question is what to do with Kevin Martin?

    I would love to move him before training camp....

    I'm still trying to figure out how the Lakers get Howard for Bynum and a 2017 first round pick??
    Also what pick is Philly giving up they cannot trade a first next year as they owe it to Miami so at earliest it could be is 2015.
    This just sounds weird but at least its over

    As a rockets fan since the early 70's I couldn't disagree more.

    I'm looking forward to watching a young core grow and improve together.

    I'm more excited about this season than any since Yao was healthy.
