    I almost wish we were in the same conference as Orlando. Just so we could be laughing at how ****ing r****ded they are! Sure Howard would have filled a huge void for us but Orlando is just incompetent.

    Spoke to a Magic executive who gave a big sigh of relief when asked about the trade of Dwight Howard. Says Magic liked the package of picks, prospect, and players. Shedding bad salaries was part of the objective in the deal.

    I still think he is going to melt under the pressure in Lakerland.

    I don't get Orlando at all. I think a simple swap of Dwight for Bynum is actually much better for them. If Bynum is willing to re-sign in Philly, he's sure going to re-sign with Orlando.

    You're both delusional, no offense. We will suck but not quite bad enough to get the first pick in the draft. We'll cling to some ridiculous hope that we'll get Bynum to sign at the trade deadline but he won't. You know why, if he doesn't sign a new deal with Philly, he'll go to the Heat. The NBA has come down to two ****ing teams. **** this ****.

    Orlando shredded Chris Duhon and Jason Richardson. Still got QRich Turkoglu and Big Baby. They're not going to be out of the woods for a while.

    As much as this roster sucks ass, I'm ready to go into battle with this. Just tank, get a high pick in next year's draft, and move on to build this team into a contender in the next few years.

    I'm patient after all these mediocre teams we have had the past few seasons.

    Houston is not in a HORRIBLE position, but they really thought they could get Dwight/Drew. Missing out on both hurts.

    The Dwightmare is almost over; the Rocket's "lock" on Howard never existed, Morey misses the big prize again, we are going to get killed this season, but I think it all for the best long term, and it now appears to be a very "long term." I am strangely relieved; I didn't want Howard, Bynum, or Gasol. I want to see what is behind door number three.

    The Lakers just traded their conditioning coach to Jamaica for Usain Bolt. This is getting ridiculous.

    You don't get it. If the option was to keep Dwight out of LA by refusing Bynum, sure. If it's Dwight going to LA one way or another, obviously we'd take Bynum.
