In actually relevant Magic news and not Lakers fans just being Lakers fans:

The Orlando Magic will play the New Orleans Hornets in an exhibition game in Mexico City, Mexico, the NBA announced on Thursday. The game is scheduled for October 7th at the new Mexico City Arena.

AYONSANITY.

"Easily"

Ehh, Dwight sucks on 2k. The other 4 are threes for days though.

People who say Dwight sucks in 2K simply don't know how to exploit his stupid high rated close to the basket game, his jumpers inside are money for no good reason. He barely has post moves, so its hard to work inside but a catch and shoot bunny is automatic for Dwight.

 

[truly101]

doubt it since he's an expiring. Orlando holds on to him. And JRich can't play with Nash.

Wasn't Redick a RFA just a year or so ago and he's already expiring? You can tell I don't keep up with this shit.

Magic picked up his option for 6.5 million. So he's a trade asset now or will stay along for the tank ride.

Magic might keep him just to sell tickets. The girls (and some fellas) love them some JJ.

 

[Red Blaster]

so dwight has been traded?

it's over?

Just Laker fans being Laker fans

Still Houston's deal to lose

 

[numble]

I don't understand the obsession over Dwight.

Lamar Odom is a better rebounder and post player.

Its way to easy to deny the pass down low. He can't really get the ball in a good position that much if you know what you're doing.

kawhi leonard will be a mvp candidate in the next 5 years

 

[Knux-Future]

Team USA in 5 minutes.


Shameball or Swagball?

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

While it's not a lock, this is interesting

We aren't talking about the Raptors, stop changing the subject. The Raptors are shit, I get it, good one. You are so creative.

The fact is, Players in their prime don't flock to LA, and never have. This is regardless of sport.

You will not get Dwight Howard. He and his agent both know you will have to trade away valuable pieces for that to happen. He will be constantly compared to Shaq, and when Kobe is old and worthless (sooner then later), it will be all on Dwight to lead an entire team, just like with the Magic. Phill Jackson won't be there to bail him out, and the new CBA is going to make it so you can't make lop-sided trades and pay them truck loads of money due to Bird Rights. The Lakers also have no good, young talent.

It isn't happening. I already made my bet on it.

Don't be a homer.

steam, give blackface a kobe avatar if dwight comes.

The Magic have like 15 3pt shooters on the squad so I'd imagine he's going to be a trade asset. I'm glad he's turned out to be a decent player but he's still a bench guy. I can't imagine he's that popular.

That starting lineup meshes together very, very, well. Much better than the Heat SL does.

LeBron is still the best player of course, but Dwight is the best defensively...

 

[KingGondo]

If by "candidate," you mean "eligible for the award as a player that is in the NBA," I agree.

 

[truly101]

Team USA in 5 minutes.

Against GB? Swag all the way. I want to see the entire US squad dunk on Boateng.

On paper it meshes well. That team isn't even a lock to not get ran out the gym by OKC. Again.

 

[Flash]

omfg just read why nash hates richardson...

.... so fucked up lol

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Nash + Dwight is a pretty huge difference

Anyways, no use in arguing over shit that isn't even guaranteed to happen.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Lakers were 2 give no fucks by Kobe from taking a decent lead in that series. To argue that Nash and Dwight wouldn't add to that is ridiculous.

 

[SUPREME1]

...while the Thunder made no improvements.

OMG OKC GONNA RUN NASH/KOBE/MWP/PAU/DWIGHT OUT DA GYM OMG DURRR!!!

 

[Babalu.]

.... so fucked up lol

Link!!!

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

"Dwight Howard is moving to LA. Congrats Heat fans, you can pull your Lakers jerseys out of the closet once again!"

Snap.

 

[SUPREME1]

Link!!!

Richardson boned his ex-wife... which is why she's his ex-wife.

 

[Cloudy]

I told you guys Deron would start over CP3 eventually.

Game is on espn2

 

[Knux-Future]

POPS?

SHIT IS OVER YO

 

[iamshadowlark]

Who said it didn't make you all better? There is still a very good question if that line-up can keep up with OKC. All im saying.

 

[Knux-Future]

But two of those guys didn't even go to college...and Durant was there for 1 year.

Derp Fran

 

[Boombloxer]

"Players in their prime don't flock to LA"

Pass it over here, please.

Who said it didn't make you all better? There is still a very good question if that line-up can keep up with OKC. All im saying.

Just stop. It's not really a good question.

 

[Red Blaster]

Nash + Dwight alone could probably make the conference finals. Just as long as Pau can hit a few threes and Kobe can resist the urge to shoot his team out of games they'll be golden.

Maybe Mitch can convince Dwight to leave Houston for the MLE.

 

[Flash]

Richardson boned his ex-wife... which is why she's his ex-wife.

and there were rumours about their third child being black? lol can you imagine

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

If Dwight comes to LA, how embarassing will it be when Lakers visit Miami and have more fans at the game than Miami? PEACE.

 

[iamshadowlark]

Just stop. It's not really a good question.

How is it not a good question? 4 or 5 of that lineup is old slow and well past their prime. The fifth just came off back surgery. But don't let me stop the parade....

 

[Cloudy]

LOL Durant

 

[Vire]

Someone GIF that Durant layup miss. What the hell...

 

[rando14]

Damn anyone else watching this? Durant is playing horribly for some reason, missing open dunks and layups

 

[Cloudy]

That happens already lol

 

[Cloudy]

I love how he was looking for a call

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Ace or Bish, I have a request:

If Dwight Howard becomes a Laker, please give Blackface/Trax an avatar of Dwight Howard wearing a Lakers jersey with the tag 'Dwight Howard will never be a Laker'.

 

[white dynamite]

Lebron's hairline :0

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

That happens already lol

Everyone's fans invade AAA, but with Nash Kobe Metta Pau and Dwight AAA is liable to look like Staples center.

 

[Cloudy]

OMG KOBE

 

[rando14]

Lol Tyson Chandler

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Everyone's fans invade AAA, but with Nash Kobe Metta Pau and Dwight AAA is liable to look like Staples center.

Maybe the Heat will retire Dwights jersey?

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Hangover

Games are going to be around this time when the Olympics start?

Yeah cos of the timezone. Better than China time IMO. Worst case, you DVR and catch it in the evening

 

[Nelo Ice]

So that Rockets insider from yesterday believes Dwight is heading to LA and like Murphy has been saying on radio this morning, it's all on Orlando if/when they move him.

 

[CrazyDogg77]

Lebron's hairline though. And really Lebron at the 5.
