It seems like every team benefited from the trade. Orlando went with quantity over quality. I think in the end, they will regret doing this deal.Quote:
Orlando:
Outgoing: Dwight Howard
Incoming: Arron Affalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic, Moe Harkless, Denver's future 1st round pick, L.A. future 1st round pick, and Philadelphia's future 1st round pick.
Philadelphia:
Outgoing: Andre Iguodala, Nickola Vucevic, Moe Harkless, and 1st round pick
Incoming: Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson
Denver:
Outgoing: Arron Affalo, 1st round pick
Incoming: Andre Iguodala
L.A. Lakers:
Outgoing: Andrew Bynum and 1st round pick
Incoming: Dwight Howard
Yeah i know that i just wish someone could stop this stuff from happening. I mean getting nash in a sign and trade the year before tax teams can't do sign and trades anymore? Some CBA we got here.
I'm not gonna be frustrated because it really doesnt effect us right now anyways but it just kind of bums me out.
Dwight Howard fell out of my top 3 favorite players. 1.Anthony Davis 2.Eric Gordon 3. Austin Rivers. I hate the lakers with a passion
I'm not convinced the Lakers will win a title. I still like a healthy Miami team.
Nothing's for sure for Miami or LA
They have the bigs that should drive Miami wild but the Lakers have no bench whatsover. And though neither do the Heat, LeBron or Wade can always play buttloads of minutes cuz they're both relatively young and in their prime.
The Magic will be amazing, guys. Remember? We gave them Goose.
Lakers did get Jamison, retained Jordan hill matt barnes (i think) and have Steve Blake. Not an excellent bench but one more player like a jodie meeks or someone like that and theyre on the verge.
It's been reported that Dwight won't sign an extension with the Lakers, so we only have to deal with this foolishness for one year haha. I'm wondering tho can David Stern weto the trade or he could only veto the Hormets trade because they were the owners at the time
Well this makes me sick to my stomach.

pretty much...
The Bobcats may have a team challenge them for worst in the NBA!!
The Nuggets got the best of this trade, they got Iguodala for Afflallo and a protected first!! That's a pretty good deal.
Bynum to Hornets next season?
Why do the Lakers always get the best end of all trades?
Ahhhh, to bad should've took the Rockets deal. I mean they didn't get Bynum nor did they get Iguodala. This was suppose to be my second team i would watch be build up from the bottom into contention once again. But looks like before they'll be at the bottom end of the lottery for some years
Somewhere in America Jerry Buss is smoking a cigar thinking about how he just F*($*# the NBA.
Houston deal>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Multi-team deal
Orlando should've traded with Houston before the draft. They could've gotten Kyle Lowry, Kevin Martin, pick #12, #16, #18, & Donatas Motiejunas for Dwight Howard, Glen Davis, Chris Duhon, & Jason Richardson. Houston would've given up almost everything to land Dwight, but now Orlando gets picks that will be in the 20's, two young guys that might pan out, & two overpriced players on multi-year contracts. Oh, & they bid against themselves by resigning Jameer Nelson. Instead of creating immediate and future flexibility, Orlando will be stuck in the late lottery every year. I am glad I root for the Hornets.
Lets be clear, this is no ones fault but Orlando's. Orlando could have netted the Houston deal, Bynum, Brook Lopez, or a slew of other options but the management and ownerships for sat on their hands and risked taking a chance that they could sway him, and that risk netted them teams getting tired of waiting around and moved on. Dwight told them over a year about this, not that it's right, but they certainly took their time. They gave away their leverage.
This could be the worst trade return for a superstar in the modern era. I have no idea what the Magic front office is doing, this isn't a tank team and this isn't a contending team either. This is by far the worst possible way they could have resolved the Dwight situation. Hell, keeping him for this year and letting him walk would probably have been a better route than this.
The thing that irks me most about this deal is that, it's not even a rebuilding package of any sort. Sure, ORL got WAY worst, and they can get a possible top 3 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. Problem is, nobody on the 2013 NBA draft is a game changer. Plus, they still have lots of bad contracts and no youngsters to develop except for Harkless, O' Quinn and Nicholson. Those 4 picks will most certainly be outside of the lottery and the odds of anybody getting anything worthy out of the 20~30th pick in any draft are slim. So, why the hell did ORL do this?!
They would have been better served taking that CLE deal.
HOU deal was dead once Dan Fegan threatened to sign with DAL if HOU traded for him
The initial proposal had Gasol going to Orlando.
But now since LA somehow managed to keep Gasol and acquire Dwight, they clearly came away winners in this deal. Denver and Philly did quite well themselves acquiring proven players in their own right in Iggy and Bynum.
Orlando could not have done much worse. They will regret turning Houston and Brooklyn down. Instead, they received what will be three non-lottery first-rounders, while not being able to shed any of their significantly bad contracts.
LA is clearly the class of the West now. No doubt about it. Add another wing (Meeks) and cheap big man, and they'll be plenty deep enough to dominate. I don't know how Mitch always does it, but he does.
The only question left is who do you got winning it, Miami or LA?
That will be the question next offseason, won't it? Will Howard resign with LA? The problem with your proposition is if the Nets were to acquire anything for Brook, it would have to be for a bunch of expiring contracts. Otherwise, they wouldn't have enough cap space to sign Howard. Obviously, that would be a huge gamble for Brooklyn, and something I see as highly unlikely. Unless they were 100% certain Howard would bolt LA for them, I don't see the Nets making such a move (especially considering King's win now mentality). There may be other teams however that Howard will entertain joining. Personally, I see him resigning with the Lakers. But with a bird brain like his, you never know.
The only reason I see them doing this is to tank for the next 2 seasons. The players they can get this year will be pretty good, but if they have the first pick in the 2014 draft, they will be laughing all the way home. Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Julius Randle, Andrew and Aaron Harrison, Aaron Gordon, James Young, Kasey Hill, Wayne Selden, and Isaiah Hicks are some of the future stars they could grab. A lot of those guys are future all stars.
