It is one of the greatest playoff games though.. Considering it was win or go home once again. High stakes.. And what he singlehandedly did..@ this dude posting Lebron's game 6 as if it is the greatest game anyone has played in playoff history
Caron Butler was irrelevant as hell in LA
The hell happened in here?
Can you tell me why the 2012-2013 salary cap matters to the Magic and the team's long-term future?Look, you're clearly gonna cry all year, I can see that already by the last 20 posts of yours, that's fine, don't try to understand it, but it's their plan. They let Anderson go for pretty much nothing, same deal here. They are trying to reduce salary. And how, exactly, is their cap number the same without getting rid of J-Rich, Clark and Duhon? That's an extra 10-12 million gone, is it not? On top of the almost 20 they would have to pay Dwight, or 16-17 to Bynum. Taking on Iggy wouldn't do anything, they shed money, and tank like hell to get that #1 and start over. Why do you struggle with this? As Mike already said and I repeated, Al's deal is like half guaranteed, as in, he could be flipped or cut at lower cost than his deal reads, does this still confuse you?
They are saving a lot more money than you are getting. The deals that get done now are not always going to be man for man, straight equal value. They got less than what Melo cost, and D-Will, etc, yes, but those teams also didn't go full rebuild, they tried to move forward with talent they already had. Notice, Denver or Utah never tanked to get a #1, they merely added extra picks and drafted in the early to mid first round, rather than top of the first round.
And Affalo at 8 mil, vs Gordon at 13-15 mil, doesn't seem all that bad to me. So the CP3 and D12 deals aren't all that dissimilar. Gordon is the better player, sure, and also almost double the countract in a couple years, so I mean.....

Also, how is it a salary dump if
-Afflalo makes almost as much JRich and Chris Duhon and for more years? It's less than 2M difference. Again, he is on the books until 2016. 2016.
-Earl Clark doesn't even make a third of Al Harrington's salary and he only had 1 year left on his deal. Al Harrington's partially guaranteed deal goes to 2014.
This is some salary dump. The team didn't save anything more than Dwight's salary for 2012-2013. And that's a good deal?
ORL-"Here, take Dwight's services for one year and his bird rights for nothing. "
Like I said, show me how this deal positively affects the salary cap situation for the summer of 2013 and the 2014 season and summer. Show me numbers. Because from my vantage point, if the Magic had done absolutely nothing, the team would have had similar cap space for those time frames. Again, for me, the team basically received nothing for a top-3 player in the NBA. No great or promising young players, no additional cap space and no great picks. And this incredible deal was made under the threat of a rapidly approaching September. Or maybe there is some Summer Olympics deadline in the new CBA.
The deal before this one that everyone was up in arms about was the Pau deal. Was that also a terrible deal?
In exchange Memphis will receive forward Kwame Brown, guard Javaris Crittenton, guard Aaron McKie (who the Lakers signed earlier today), the draft rights to Marc Gasol and first round picks in 2008 and 2010.

Saying they forced him left and forced him to take 32 shots.
He couldnt pass going left.
Isiah Thomas was the greatest player he played with(he was on 96 bulls also)
Jordan wasn't even top 4 players he played against. (magic,bird,kareem,hakeem )
Jordan defense was overrated because he would hand check everyone with his big hands.

and dont point marc, because he was a late 2nd rounder at that point and im sure had the lakers known what he would turn into they wouldnt have shipped him
Oh, people were absolutely singing the Cavs praises, but that's why we have the phrase 'prisoners of the moment.'
In retrospect, the collective majority was wrong; way wrong. That roster was trash.
I remember how Detroit were going to be a problem after 2004 even after they failed to draft Carmelo. One hit wonders like the Heatles. Other fine examples of prisoners of the moment.
So the fact that the Grizzlies are more of a threat in the western conference now than they were with Pau, is that because they have worked theirselves past that terrible deal of ours, or because the deal was good for them despite what it looks like on paper to us laymen?
You're saying they collapsed after they lost Lebron, but they also lost SEVERAL other contributors that led to that terrible record. Oh yeah, the Heat are 1-5 in games without Lebron, how terrible is their supporting cast?
