You think it's over but you have no idea this is NBA True Dwightmare!

I really figured it would take awhile. Morey and his bff Bill Simmons went to the Olympics together. Figured the Rockets would be in talks at least, but I guess the Wizard is scouting Nigeria

 

[darkside31337]

Sounds good to get rid of Harrington, and add Iggy, but I'm not sure I like Dwight coming to the West. I'm not sure Iggy's enough to make enough of a difference.

Nuggets can't even worry about that. There are plenty of other good teams in the West, the notion that the Lakers are some unbeatable juggernauts with Dwight is pretty laughable - the only thing that the Nuggets should be trying to do is improve their roster and honestly they might be upgrading their team the most with this 4 team deal.

I find it unconscionable that the Magic could be in a 4 team deal, one that involves Dwight Howard, and somehow get the least out of this deal out of all 4 teams.

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine
Names in deal still emerging but sources say ORL definitely getting Afflalo, Harrington, Vucevic & one future 1ST from all three other teams

So no Pau I hope.

Where are the "basketball reasons" stopping this trade?

Oh wait the League doesn't own them, carry on

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Horrific. Orlando is taking back so much long term salary and getting a bunch of lousy firsts.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Tomorrow is going to be interesting...

tits and ass, brosefs!

total blowup. I get dumping contracts and not wanting Bynum, but the picks are worthless

 

[Black Mamba]

Can someone sum up the Dwight deal as we know it since I'm trying to avoid Olympic spoilers on twitter?

Is Pau moving for Harrington like I heard earlier?

 

[thekad]

So no Pau I hope.

But the Lakers don't have any future firsts.

Sources tell ESPN trade also calls for Sixers to get Jason Richardson with Bynum, with Iguodala to Denver & Dwight, obviously, to Lakerland

nope. latest reports show pau isn't part of the 4way.

Lakers: Dwight
Philly: J-Rich, Bynum
Nuggets: AI
Orlando: Vucevic, Afflalo, Harrington & some shitty 1sts

edit: Stein saying maybe Harkless to Orlando. Thats like putting a band aid on an axe wound

Orl gets Harrington vucevic 3 firsts and Afflalo
Sixers get Jrich and Bynum
Den get Iggy
LA gets Dwight.

No Pau involved.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

They can send out a 2017 first.

 

[darkside31337]

ORL - Afflalo, Harrington, Vucevic, 3 crappy 1sts
LAL - Dwight
DEN - Iggy
PHI - Bynum, JRich

I can't believe this shit. Theres no way this shit is happening.

 

[Puddles]

If the net for the Lakers is Pau and Bynum for Harrington and Dwight, then DO NOT want.

The gap between Dwight and Bynum isn't nearly as large as the gap between Pau and Harrington, and it's not like Al is younger; he and Pau are both 32.

Edit: No Pau involved? Thank Based-Tebow.

 

[Black Mamba]

nope. latest reports show pau isn't part of the 4way.

So Lakers get Dwight
Philly gets Bynum and JRich
Orlando gets Harrington, Afflalo, Vujacic, picks
Denver gets Iggy?

Is this the deal? Philly makes out well in this, too.

Yeah, I heard the harrington Pau swap earlier and was all DONOTWANT on that. But keeping Pau!? Fuck yes.

I still don't like it. You are bringing the #1 center (arguably) to directly compete against you. It's a massive upgrade for the Lakers.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Nash
Kobe
Metta
Pau
Dwight

Blake
Glock
Ebanks
Jamison
Hill


Henny, please.


edit: JHill starting while Howard recovers will be interesting.

 

[darkside31337]

Dwight is most likely going to end up on the Lakers one way or another. Getting a huge upgrade for your team for basically nothing is never a bad thing.

 

[Nelo Ice]

So Lakers get Dwight
Philly gets Bynum and JRich
Orlando gets Harrington, Afflalo, Vujacic, picks
Denver gets Iggy?

Details are coming in from Stein atm but heres his latest tweet.

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine
Other names likely to emerge. Example: Just heard Harkless to Orlando. But deal that's being submitted for league approval indeed Pau-less

 

[squicken]

Lakers fleece Wallace and now Hennigan. Mitch must get pictures of these guys with dead hookers

 

[The Frankman]

ORL - Afflalo, Harrington, Vucevic, Harkless, 3 crappy 1sts
LAL - Dwight
DEN - Iggy
PHI - Bynum, JRich

I can't believe this shit. Theres no way this shit is happening.

Package 1-2 of the 1sts in a deal for a better 1st.
????
PROFIT

Also you'll love Moe Harkless.

 

[Godslay]

It's a minimal gain if the Lakers are beating your ass with the player you helped them bring to town.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Mitch got naked pictures of God.

 

[thekad]

BTW, Afflalo is $8mil/4yrs and Harrington is $7mil/3yrs (also he's terrible). Lakers can't trade any first round picks until 2017, Philly has pick obligations with Boston, and Denver's pick will be in the 20s.

The Magic are getting killed.

 

[Knux-Future]

Harkless can't be traded until december...

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Stern needs to save the Magic for basketball reasons.

You know it, I love the moe.

Hilarious how we are going to trade Dwight in a 4 team trade involving 2 other all-stars and are getting neither back!

This is a half-assed blowup too. Shedding only 1 contract and getting back crap picks? And crap players on top of it? Sign me up!

 

[squicken]

So Orlando is taking on long term contracts and getting garbo picks? What am I missing? Why is Hennigan doing this?

 

[Nelo Ice]

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8...rd-los-angeles-lakers-four-team-deal-complete

A four-team trade that would send Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers is complete, multiple sources told ESPN on Thursday night.

A source with direct knowledge of the talks told ESPN.com's Marc Stein that the Lakers will receive Howard, the Denver Nuggets will get Andre Iguodala, the 76ers will get Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson, and the Magic will get Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vujecic and one protected future first-round pick from each of the other three teams.

In addition, the Magic will be getting other pieces, including 76ers draft pick Moe Harkless, a source told Stein.

 

[thekad]

So the Magic are getting Afflalo, Vucevic, a bad contract, a 2017 first, a 2015 first, and a late 2013 first for Dwight.

Oh, and the picks are protected :lol

 

[pilonv1]

Also you'll love Moe Harkless.

The only shining light for Orlando if they do this deal is that Harkless/Nicholson/Vucevic could be a very good front line in 3-4 years.

But otherwise this is a slaughter of Baron Davis for Speedy Claxton & Dale Davis proportions

So the Magic are getting Afflalo, Vucevic, a bad contract, a 2017 first, a 2015 first, and a late 2013 first for Dwight.

Two bad contracts, Afflalo's is terrible given his play last year

 

[Nori Chan]

Its about to happen isn't it?

Im going to be the OC fair and if the news breaks I'm going to hi 5 every Lakers jersey I see.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Magic's rookie GM about to get fleeced. They have one last hope.

Do the right thing, David. Do the right thing.

 

[Matrix]

Orlando is one stupid as shit franchise and here I thought the Rockets were the dumbest team.

Still waiting for Stern to step in lol yea right.


Glad Morey didn't trade away all the Rockets young players for a selfish bi-polar shit like Howard.

 

[darkside31337]

Fuck this crap. All of it.

I wish Otis Smith never got fired.

 

[Mothman91]

yaay, we're back.

thanks ace.

everyone can wake up from this dwightmare?

 

[darkside31337]

Magic fans will never wake up from this shit. What the fuck is Hennigan doing?

Today is my birthday too. Thanks a lot you incompetent fool. Couldn't wait till another day?

 

[HenryHSH]

Broussard sources? I'll wait 'til tomorrow... I don't want my heart broken.

 

[white dynamite]

Give it some time. Dwight has been quiet for way too long now.

 

[thekad]

So it took all this time for the Magic to take the worst deal on the table?

Lakers traded Bynum and a protected first round pick five years from now for the second or third best player in the league. After trading two protected first round picks for a top 5 PG.

But David Aldridge said...

 

[Knux-Future]

It's gonna suck to give up Harkless and have Bynum walk/get hurt...

but oh well.

Gotta take chances and what not.

 

[Red Blaster]
