Can't believer after 2 years of Dwight trade talk THAT's what they're gonna end up with. Fucking lol'ing here.

 

[StickSoldier]

WOWWWW he really fucking sucks at free throws.

 

[Knux-Future]

Drummond is making Shaq look like Nash from the FT

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Now that you mention it...

Good. Get in there, Kahn. Give em the Memphis pick and let's call this one in.

 

[StickSoldier]

Dude would shoot fts better one handed probably

 

[Owzers]

The problem with this deal is that the Magic can't clean house like the Nuggets did to the Knicks for Melo since the Nets don't really have anything to give outside of scraps and picks. I'd possibly take Mozgov over Lopez, but that's partly to rarely ever seeing Lopez play basketball.

Dwight is the one screwing the Magic on this trade by saying he'll only extend with the Nets, but it's either that or making sure both Bynum and Dwight will extend on the Magic/Lakers, or getting nothing by keeping Dwight and doing poorly this year anyways.

Dude would shoot fts better under-handed probably

fixed

 

[LyleLanley]

How is it possible for someone to be as bad at free throws as Drummond?

 

[Nelo Ice]

John Hollinger ‏@johnhollinger
@EricPincus might work better to offer Shelden, true. Gaines likely gets 1 guar yr at 5.0 in deal. Would have to give ~ 3 yr 9 mil probably

Eric Pincus ‏@EricPincus
@johnhollinger so easy for this to come all crashing down frankly - impressed if they muscle it through

So uhh how this even close to being done when like nearly all the integral pieces aren't even under contract?!

 

[SamuraiX-]

HOLY DAMN

He got taken out. lol

 

[Brinbe]

That's a horrible package for the Magic, just godawful. And I've liked a lot of what I've seen from Andre, but goddamn, he makes D. Jordan look positively Nash-like from the line.

Even Nets season ticket holders have rarely ever seen Lopez play basketball.

C'MON KRIS EVERYONE HATES YO ASS ANYWAY. FUCK IT UP.

DraftExpress2 ‏@DraftExpress2
Andre Drummond has 2 air balls from the foul line, two made step back jumpers from the midrange, and a dunk to make up his 6-point SL debut.

How is this even possible?

Is it worse than this?

Once again I'm not even sure he's still alive...

I think he offed himself during that god awful year and they replaced him with the secret third twin, Rodrigo.

 

[jbug617]

He really doesn't want to have a meeting with the Russian mob does he.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Just realized that this trade involves like 10 players just so Howard can get what he wants.

 

[SamuraiX-]

At least DJ's shot was on target.

Drummond overshot it hard to the left.

Keeping with the trend of giving them girl names, it would only make sense for the third Lopez brother to be named Lindsay.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

And didn't the Carmelo trade involve like 12 guys and 3 teams?

 

[LyleLanley]

Yes, it's worse than that.

 

[jbug617]

Nets had a better offer for Melo than the Knicks but Melo only wanted the Knicks.

 

[truly101]

I like what I've seen from him so far. I hope he can give some decent minutes off the bench this year,

Singler will always play hard, dirty if he has to, and from about 15 or so, he's got a pretty good mid range shot. Beyond the arc...welll. I love Kyle but that fucker will shoot you out of a game.

 

[linsivvi]

Well hopefully someone will upload it on youtube soon.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Skip doesn't even watch basketball and knows how stupid the magic are.

Skip Bayless ‏@RealSkipBayless
Can't believe any rival GM will help Orl trade DHoward to potential "super team" w/ Nets. Can't believe Magic would take BLopez in return.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

closer to 14.
dwight is going to affect 14 lives to get his selfish needs met.
complete bitchassness.

 

[Shinobi]

Just realized that this trade involves like 10 players just so Howard can get what he wants.

The Melo trade involved eight players. Welcome to the NBA.

@ekoreen - HOU trade Kyle Lowry, basically get a guaranteed lottery pick. ORL looks like they are trading Dwight Howard and guarantee they won't get 1.

Welp

 

[darkside31337]

Hennigan is a bigger fraud than Morey. Who knew.

 

[Terry Crews]

I am still loling about the Marshon Brooks to Clippers.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

The fact that this is going through screams rigged. How could hennigan possibly want that package? Take Horford and picks. Take Bynum and Metta. Take anything the Rockets give you. Why give in to Howard's demands?

Welp

Maybe they don't want one because they'll have plenty of their own.

 

[linsivvi]

It's not rigged, they are just all scared of the Russian mafia.

The guy went against Putin. How many persons in the world dare to do that?

 

[SamuraiX-]

Just call this game already and bring on Indy vs. Philly.

I want fuckball.

 

[StickSoldier]

Way to start off your career as a GM, Hennigan

Spoiler

if he actually goes through with the trade

 

[LegendofJoe]

agreed

 

[Terry Crews]

MarShon Brooks would go from playing with Deron to playing with CP3. He's going to think "man, the NBA is pretty easy"

Atlanta and Houston won't make the trade if Howard is going to walk, and Magic won't take back Bynum w/o an extension. It really handcuffs the Magic. Easier to say you'd play hardball with Howard than to actually do it if you were in that position. The Magic's big mistake goes back to Otis making the moves he made, not being fired sooner, and also not trading Dwight a year ago when the writing was on the wall. The fact remains that this is still a players league, the players have all the power. Deal with it.

Kris Humphries agent, Dan Fegan, tells SI that talk of a one-year deal for Humphries is "ridiculous."

BLOW IT UP.

Of course Fegan is also Dwights agent so...

Everything I've heard locally was that HOU were perfectly willing to take him w/o a guarantee of an extension. Has that changed?

Kris better fuck this shit up, would be glorious.

 

[Nelo Ice]

So there's a total of 5 players that need to actually agree to be signed and traded. Yeah ones about to fuck it up and looks like it's Humphries!

Eric Pincus ‏@EricPincus
@ChrisMannixSI well a 1-yr deal isn't even legal in S&T to be literal

 

[StickSoldier]

These teams gotta have some sort of twitter tracker to see the response their moves are getting from the fans right? lol

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Kris better fuck this shit up, would be glorious.

it just takes one man to fuck it all up.
there's too many pieces for it to work.
hopefully one does step up and say "fuck you dwight. you aint getting shit."

 

[alr1ght]

Sam Amico ‏@SamAmicoFSO

Both Dwight Howard and Kris Humphries represented by Dan Fegan. Rumor is, Fegan has agreed to contract, waiting for Humphries to sign off.

 

[darkside31337]

If that was the case this deal would have been already dead. Magic fans realize Brook Lopez sucks.

 

[LyleLanley]

I can't believe this trade is actually being considered, is anyone winning in this trade except for the nets?

 

[squicken]

Humphries can't be that stupid. Get a new agent dumbass

 

[jbug617]

The way this offseason is going, Howard might end up with the Lakers in the end.
