August 10, 201214 yr The Magic should fire everyone involved with their basketball operations. Far and away the WORST package offered all year, and this is the one they accept? Idiots. They deserve to be the Bobcats of the next decade.
August 10, 201214 yr Nets deal was far better IMO. So was Houston's, and Atlanta's, and (insert any other NBA team here).....
August 10, 201214 yr Just glad this is finally over. Give ESPN about two weeks to talk about it nonstop and everything will be right with the world. I wish this deal happened at the beginning of the Olympics, because I haven't been watching it since they started. Didn't like the results on the ticker.
August 10, 201214 yr So was Houston's, and Atlanta's, and (insert any other NBA team here)..... I'm with you. Unbelievable they took this deal instead of any of those others
August 10, 201214 yr Author NBA is looking more and more fixed every year..... How so? If it was fixed the Knicks would be a contender every year. Why did Stern veto the Paul trade?
August 10, 201214 yr I hate to say it, but since this whole stupid ordeal started with him, I can't stand D.Howard.
August 10, 201214 yr I hate to say it, but since this whole stupid ordeal started with him, I can't stand D.Howard. I never liked him. Still don't like him but I like what he brings to the Lakers. I am open-minded. For now.
August 10, 201214 yr I'm still waiting for the all the way official word. After last year with Chris Paul I keep waiting for Stern to reject this one also.
August 10, 201214 yr I never liked him. Still don't like him but I like what he brings to the Lakers. I am open-minded. For now. Drama. That's what he's bringing.
August 10, 201214 yr Turn down offers they have to send a premier player to a premier market/team? Draft this year? Paul trade vetoed but still going to the other team in the big market? Knicks example holds merit but they are just to badly ran of an organization.
August 10, 201214 yr Please be over with? Please...... But seriously, my lord how bad did the Magic get jobbed? You would think a return of Jeremy Lamb, T Jones, Royce White, Patterson, etc. future Toronto 1st rounder and couple more from Houston would have been a much better return than what they got? I don't think they could have got less even if they tried, all the while the other three teams in the trade got a pretty solid return. I know the Magic wanted cap flexibility but Houston could have provided that as well as a surplus of young talent and picks. Just don't understand it, Afflalo and Harkless?
August 10, 201214 yr From twitter... @ESPNChrisPalmer: Mitch hangs up the phone with the other GMs. Drops mic.
August 10, 201214 yr Author Kobe Bryant Well, it looks like Superman has found a home. I wish nothing but the best for Big Bynum. I hope he follows what was a great season last year with an even better one next year. I know LA is excited about the deal and rightfully so. The Lakers landed a piece that will hopefully carry the franchise long after I'm gone. I have spoken to Dwight Howard already and we are locked and loaded to bring back the title. Wow, what a summer Jimmy and Mitch have had so far. Unreal! I'm focused on our semifinal game vs Argentina but I had to pause for a few to send you my thoughts, in case you were curious..
