Yeah there's no way any GM even the dumbest would accept this trade. If anything it has to be a massive smokescreen so he can can deal with Mitch or Morey in secrecy.

Houston is the best option for the Magic. They'll get picks, young players, and when Dwight bolts at the end of the year Houston will become a lottery team which will massively increase the value of their picks. I can't believe it hasn't been done yet.

I agree. From a re-building standpoint it's the best. Not sure if Orl wants that or to build around Bropez. AHAHAHAHA

Because they don't want to give those assets up for nothing.

Yea I have no clue why they want to send him to the Nets. I think Fear of Andrew Bynum pulling a Dwight Howard and not signing back with them if they trade is a biggy.

It's kind of genius for Gilbert to help the Nets. Think about it. Their team is still years away from competing, so the Nets superteam doesn't affect them.
With this proposed deal, the Nets luxury tax is going to be huuuuuge in a few years. LT dollars go to teams under the LT. Like the Cavs will be. He's making $$$ in more ways that one.
Of course, it helps prove it was always about money and not parity...

Why not? They could make their 2014 and 2015 picks top 5 protected just in case Dwight bolts because if he does they are almost guaranteed to pick in that range.
I'm 87% sure the Cavs are doing this just to hinder LBJ's chances at winning a title.

Kris Humphries worked wonders for my fantasy team. Averaging 14 and 11 was the shit man.
I never thought of it liked that, but that's a very good point.

Cmon man you know he isn't that smart.

next step needs to be convincing Morey that he wants Bynum and getting some players and picks for him. Depth>Bynum for the Lakers.
Both sides would then need paper to print the contract on and pens to sign them. Preferably blue.

Portland unnecessary in the process, now, so their cap room is free.
NO. Teams with good depth generally fizzle out in the playoffs. See: Bulls last year. Heat and previous 2 laker titles with little depth. I'll stick to that formula that we've seen usually work.

Sources say, Howard and Lopez will wear sneakers during games.

Armon Johnson would be the first point guard (at least I think hes a point guard?!?) under the age of 25 the Magic had since 2006 back when Jameer was that age, not counting Ish Smith cause he never played.

It's probably a joke but I believe most of the players on that team wanted to play with each other.

Really..... Kanter? You mean 4 pt and 4 reb kanter?

lol....Drummond just hit a step back jumper on Kanter's weak ass........
People are acting like there's some kind of immediate positive outcome for the Magic in the cards here. If Hennigan prefers that the Magic tank with a bundle of firsts and a good offensive big (with good character) over tanking with the gaping vagina that is Bynum and no picks, who cares (except Laker fans, who think the best players in the league are theirs by birthright)?
And how do we know that Bropez is gonna be able to negotiate a max deal, anyways?

If that's the case, this needs to be veto'ed for basketball reasons.

That's kinda fucked up if true.
edit:
I see (no pun intended).
I hope he makes the team. One of the few Dukies I liked (no offense).
You realize not just Laker fans are saying how incredibly stupid the trade is and that Bynum is the best offer they'll get based on pure talent alone. As for Lopez how else do you think he's going to be sent to Orlando without matching salaries??

LOL.
on First Take
Stephen A Smith asked Skip: Name 2 teams that have a better "backcourt" compared to the Nets?
Skip said: Lebron and D-Wade.
SMFH.

Its cool, I feel really bad for Jon. He had an uphill chance making it 2 years ago, it will be very difficult for him to make it being virtually blind in one eye. He's real tight with the Collins family so he may look to get into coaching, especially when Chris finally gets his own gig.
