Dwight Howard is a Laker

[jagu]

I rather just let him walk than take this embarrassing return back. It's a near lock those draft picks will be nothing.

 

[jagu]

Why bother playing the season for the non Heat, Knicks, Lakers, Thunder group? The rest of us have to look forward to signing guys like Luis Scola and Shannon Brown... NBA sucks.

 

[D-Dogg]

If Stern allows this trade, the rest of the league should vote him out.

What a ****ing joke

He can't, unless it doesn't work under the CBA.

The only reason he could veto the CP3 trade was because the league owned the Hornets.

That said, I put nothing past Stern.

 

[jagu]

David Stern makes Bud Selig look good.

A jaw dropping bad trade for Orlando. I thought it was bad on the initial reporting when they were getting Pau and Affallo... now instead they are landing Affollo, Al Harrington and Vucevic?

Good lord, they have got to be worst run franchise in the league. The Houston deal was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better for Orlando. Freaking morons.

 

[KloD]

Magic won't see the Laker pick till, what? 2017? I thought you can't trade a first round 2 years in row. Suns have their next 2 right? What a ****ing joke this trade is.

Hell Dwight Howard for Gortat would have been a coup compared to this deal.

Thing is, Orlando is stupid. They want to suck. The second best chip in the deal isn't even going to them. They didn't want Bynum, because they want picks, crap and to suck into the lottery. Just bizarre.

Nor the third best chip.

Slinslin might like them intentionally blowing games for the high draft pick.

When was the last time the Lakers made a bad trade? I can't remember.

And why wouldn't the Magic trade for the Rockets' collection of picks and salary dumping? Man.

Yes, because once they draft in the top five for the next four straight summers, they'll automatically be good.

this gives steve an even greater chance to win his ring.yeah!

 

[Bufalay]

They were holding out for a year to see if they could get a comically terrible offer?

They don't need to, when everyone else bends over backwards to give the Lakers great deals. Come to think of it, the Suns did a better job than most in managing to get four picks for Nash. The Suns got practically as much for Nash as the Magic got for Howard!

If all the Magic got were two overpaid role players from Denver, why didn't Denver just get Howard themselves?

 

[Chaplin]

How is this trade good for anyone BUT the Lakers? What a joke.

I think they get Harkless, who was a mid-1st rounder.

I wonder whether this is partly backlash against Miami Thrice. It's as though other GMs are saying, "What Miami did is bull, and we don't want it to succeed, so let's make another superteam to knock them off, because at least Bryant has earned it. It's not like we're winning a title any time soon anyway, so who cares whether it's the Heat or Lakers?"

I have been rooting for Miami because I preferred that their "super team" was constructed by the players as opposed to the Celtics or Lakers whose teams were created by their respective front offices through shady, lopsided trades.

 

[Covert Rain]

This is the poster child with what is wrong with the NBA. Why watch next season? It will be Miami and the Lakers and IMO The Suns and Orlando just handed the Lakers another title.

This is the Lakers telling the world.....FU and your no more Super teams. This is simply bad for the NBA.

Agree. One more year of Howard is better than this joke of a trade.

Seriously, the Nets offer of Brook Lopez and Humphries was a better deal IMO.

David Stern is like the Sheriff Joe of sports commissioners.
When will someone step in and take out the trash? This league is a completely farce of obvious corruption and blatant marketing agenda's.

The NBA is a joke.

How is it not good for Nuggets and 6ers?
