Dwight finally traded

 

[datznasty]

Migt as well just put 10 teams in each of LA. NY. and MIA.That way at least the better gms and team builders rise to the top of a more even field. Instead of running Charlotte into the ground, MJ can ruin Mia #6. If we do not have a title by 2016 when KD is unrestricted, he probably bounces to LA to replace KB as face of the league and we become every other small market team and have to overpay FAs to get them.

guard =/= shut down.
Bynum isn't taking over a game or a series against the Knicks with Tyson healthy.

Take over a series? Probably not, but Tyson would certainly have his hands full down low. When he's engaged, Bynum is a problem.

Put it like this. I'd take the 76ers (w/Drew) over the Knicks in a 7 game series.

That's a different argument completely. Bynum changes the series, but he wouldn't decide whether the Knicks won or lost. Amar'e and Melo would.

Trade with Houston and the process is sped up at least 2 years. I don't know.

Its the circle of life. Get used to it. Simba to Mufasa. Nobody wanna be Pumba in OKC

So wait when can Dwight play again? And if it's midseason is Jordan Hill really gonna be getting 30+ minutes until then?

 

[devildog1776]

...who followed Kareem...who followed Wilt.
I fail to see your point.

7ft center in orlando calling himself SUPERMAN then being traded to the lakers to pair up with Kobe Bryant.....

16 years ago this happened:



Can't wait to see the press conference for Dwight tomorrow or next Monday when he's holding up that purple & gold and being introduced to the LA media.

bynum would be a problem if he gets 20 shots per game

dude barely touched the ball with kobe on the team

Nash getting a ring potentially.

I could give a **** about Bean and Cape.

 

[statis22]

Could you imagine social media if a "entering his prime" Shaq pulled a move like that today? Actually leaving a good young team.

 

[scotthallwithapick]

Is the Media gonna treat the Lakers like they did the Heat? I'm not talking about the hate cause I know they won't. I mean if they start 6-7 will it be "WORST DECISION EVER" in headlines?

Fixed

Would be dumb if they do IMO it was a low risk move because Bynum and Howard are both FA at the end of the season its not like they are gambling the future of the franchise (unless you think Bynum is a franchise player). I think Bynum has to be excited because he gets to be the go to guy in Philly it always seemed like he wanted his own team.

 

[MVP]

YOLO muthcluckas

 

[jayykay]

Well, at least 2013 Finals will be fun to watch. 

 

[mr j 858]

Because the Lakers sent the Phoenix Suns first-round draft picks for 2013 and 2015 to acquire Steve Nash this summer, L.A. can't send the Magic its first-round pick until 2017; NBA rules prohibit teams from giving up first-round draft picks in consecutive years.

All Denver got was Iguodala? Why the **** did they even get involved?

They got raped of talent AND a first rounder.

And Brooklyn's final offer was Lopez, Humphries, Brooks, and FOUR UNPROTECTED 1st rounders? Orlando's FO should've been shot yesterday.

Finally the Dwightmare is over. This just makes the west more exciting.
