    I hate how LA is only giving up Bynum.

    I hope we can keep DMo and Lamb no matter we end up with Dwight or not. Well maybe it's just me.

    Only to get Bynum would be the only reason i would want Morey to get involved.

    This is the first time I've ever seen a report about a call into the league office about consummating a deal. Seems strange.

    LOL, Magic. Three role players and three crappy picks. Good luck with that. :p

    Still think it's a bluff. It's a bluff with a bit more oomph but maybe that was Henny's goal... trying to force a better final offer from Morey. The question is, will Morey cave? If he doesn't cave, does Hennigan follow through with his threat OR does he back out again at the last minute?

    I can't believe they're going to send their superstar center to LA again.

    That would hands down be worse than the Brooklyn trade and arguably the worst deal in NBA history. There's no way.

    It is definitely a bad deal for Orly

    There are no good picks in this deal and no good prospects

    Morey could beat it with just Martin + Lamb + TOR pick

    Every trade is called in once an agreement is reached. Then the league office reviews it and *approves it.

    *One trade vetoed due to Basketball Reasons

    Orlando is going to explore every offer and they did just that today. I don't see either of the leaked deals as realistic unless some players/bad contracts were left out.

    My guess is nothing happens tomorrow, ESPN is doing what they do best...
