Agreed. I hope they make the playoffs for a couple years then lose Lowry to free agency and fall apart once the protections wear off.
The Toronto pick has top 3 protections for 2 or 3 years.
No offense, but it's fallacy to believe that 'growing from within' will necessarily result in a loyal player. Where was Howard's loyalty to...
I think it kind of sets us back because now we will probably have to bring the roster down to 15 via cuts instead of trades. That's always value...
Yeah I found that too. I wasn't sure when or where I heard it, but the quotes were extremely familiar. Just pointing out that the quotes used in...
Found it:
Kobe wants to be remembered as the greatest Laker ever. He's intentionally putting all that pressure on Howard because, secretly, he hopes his...

With Toronto's draft pick of course!!
This is what I think, too. The Magic made this trade partly out of spite. Morey likely played hardball with them, calculated a sensible offer...
They could have just kept Otis Smith, who was supposedly fired for suggesting the franchise needed to trade Howard, and accomplished the exact...
This situation reminds me of an elected official who unfairly changes laws or provides insider information to outside companies at the expense of...
I'd be one of the first to agree that the NBA is rigged in some ways, but Stern blocking the trade as the acting owner of the Hornets (not as...
