What the hell is the new Magic GM doing? Guess they'll be losing Howard in free agency.

Clips invited Ammo to SL.
... :/

oh right, that was 95. still though
Bulls had Jordan..
Also, the Eastern Conference was much tougher back then. It wasn't three teams with 60 win seasons and the other 12 with 41 or less.

Turkey was better before he got an ego and thought he could be the #1 option on a different team.

That's actually fair close to how to the East was that year.

Shaq had a 6'7 All-NBA 1st team point guard next to him, Dwight had Rafer Alston
Was it?
I know 95-96 at least one team missed the playoffs going over .500, maybe two.
And then got embarrassed by Pau Gasol.

The Celtics that didn't have KG but still took them 7 games to beat? The ones that came back the following year and basically swept the Magic?
Cmon man.

"@LakersReporter: * @MettaWorldPeace is in outstanding shape; light years ahead of last offseason when injuries plagued him during lockout."
ya hear that Henny?
ya hear that Henny?
Yeah it's so terrible that they lost their one all star. all they had left were Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo
Surely Dwight with..uhhh... Hedo, Rashard and Rafer Alston should have swept them
and I don't see how losing 2-4 is being basically swept next year

Raging Spainiard, I'm gonna need some
So they DID sign him? Cool!
Is Lakers Age taking applications? Rose will probably be a Laker in a couple years anyway. Might as well make the jump now!

KG was the best defender in the game 08 and probably would have been in 09 if not for injury. He was alot more than "one allstar". And 09 rondo was barely a fucking allstar.
The 2010 series never really looked close at all. Celtics simply stop giving a fuck for two games....
The Magic skating by a KG less Celtics in 7 is hardly anything to be proud of. Same with that mediocre ass cavs squad.

Don't get the hate. They are signing a rookie to a cheap contract.
Impressive. I wish Mitch could lure players of that calibur =(.

We don't have the cap space unless we amnesty Konex.
Makes sense, getting to the Finals by beating two 60+ win teams without having anyone good on your team is nothing to be proud of (oh I'm sorry, one of the teams was missing one of their Big 3).
Geez, what does that make the 2012 Miami title? Weak conference in lockout year with a stacked team and they barely got by the Pacers and old man Celtics. LeBron should give that ring back

You heard it here first folks, getting to the Finals and ECF back to back on a team full of garbage doesn't mean anything. That Dwight guy, he just doesn't have The Look!
yep I messed up the years, I already posted about that on top of the page

shhhhhhhhhh don't tell Red Blaster this.
You must be a Jordaphile because otherwise you would be able to read and see that I already have a tag addressing the truth about Jordan.

Put it in context.. The competition that Shaq had to go through in the 90s was 10x stronger than it is now.. 90s Shaq would be putting up 25-15-5 numbers right now without breaking a sweat with how short and light front courts are.
I already posted the competition just at center from back in the 90s compared to now. We could go further and add the Powerforward spot which was much more Physical and taller than it is now.
lol wut? Won't they have a cap # of like $95 million in 2015 if they do that? That's $25m in luxury taxes!
edit: holy balls it's way more than $25m lol
Pretty sure he is is a free agent the year Kobe stops being good and is going to sign with the Knicks.
save space on that rocketship for me, reilo.
What does competition have to do with it? Shaq is a much better player than Dwight, I agree, but we know that from statistics and watching games, not pointing out how their teams played (especially when their teams happened to play just as well in the playoffs, so now we have to pretend the competition Dwight faced was weaker and ignore how much worse his team was)
And if we want to talk about centers, let's just see what kind of players Shaq faced during the threepeat (check out their ages especially, not just the famous names)

I freaking hope this is the case. Everyone in our FO but Larry Brown wanted to draft Lopez over Augustin back in 2008. So I wouldn't be surprised if we still have legitimate interest in him. Max contract interest is insane though, it has to be Cho stuffing the Nets/Magic D12 trade into the stands.
