    So the Magic wanted the Rockets entire roster plus 4-5 first round picks and then they basically trade him to the Lakers for a bag of peanuts. The Magic basically let Howard **** them with no vasoline when the Rockets offer was way better than what they are getting. No wonder they ****ing suck.

    And why would Orlando all for "protected" 1st round picks... come on. You are getting D12 (Lakers), Bynum (76ers) and AI2+cap releif (Nuggets) and yet the picks are PROTECTED.

    This Hennigan guy must be SOAKED behind the ears and his @$$ must be RAW cuz he is getting it GOOD!!!

    All I can imagine is.Orlando honored their promise to trade Dwight where he wanted to go...

    The only way this make sense for Orlando is if your only trade partners are NJ or LA.

    I and only imagine what the Magic forums look like right now.

    So will Stern reject this trade b/c it's lopsided and stupid?

    Seriously, Orlando just made the Lakers a powerhouse and got **** in return.

    Magic fans are stupid. They think they are getting cap relief out of this while taking back Harrington and Affalol

    http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8...rd-los-angeles-lakers-four-team-deal-complete

    Lakers will receive Howard
    Denver Nuggets will acquire Andre Iguodala
    76ers will receive Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson
    Magic will get Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic, one protected future first-round pick from each of the other three teams, and will be getting other pieces, including 76ers No. 1 draft pick Moe Harkless

    "If Los Angeles doesn't work out for Dwight, Dallas will be there waiting for him," the source told Stein.

    Why would you do this and **** the future of your organization. Its the organizations job to put the best product they can on the court not kiss the ass of someone who believes he is too good to play for that team.
