I follow him but it's not worth posting this stuff. There's tons of snarky stuff on Twitter and most of it should be read there because this is a place for discussing our own views not just copying and pasting stuff we like.

Its just hilarious how Orlando gave away the best C in the league
Plus more pieces

All they get back are late picks, and average role players

How much are the Lakers going to pay in Lux Tax?

150 Million?

Who does Nash guard, Westbrook or Harden or Durant? He will be serviceable for now but he'll fall off soon enough and it will be a big issue.


With Dwight and Pau guarding the paint, and Kobe and Artest to provide help defense, Nash's lack of defense won't be an issue.

The Lakers are going to win the NBA title next year folks.

LOL, I wouldn't be surprised is they re-hired Phil.


I remember the Mavs won in 2011 with Dirk Nowitzki, Tyson Chandler made up for the lack of defense Dirk Nowitzki didn't have. That's what Kobe and Dwight can do for Nash.



Clyde has said that he felt that he was able to gamble on steals as much as he did because he knew that Willis and Debusschere had his back. Team defense. The Lakers got Nash's back. Don't forget about Gasol and Artest too.

I don't get how Aaron Affalo is the final prize they settle on after all this.. Did they really just want cap relief and picks more than anything else; is that what this deal tells us? Cause they aren't getting anything of actual substance in return.

Either that, or they're trying to come away looking like the Nuggets did in their trade where they got a bunch of okay players to move forward with -- but this is obviously hardly remotely close to that.

All around fail for Magic, and as usual, Lakers do next to nothing and somehow come away with Nash and Howard this off season.

Yall are acting like Kobe is 28 and an elite defender still. Artest cabt guard a statue anymore. Dwight cant hit free throws. LA still loses to OK in a 7 game series.

Idk why people are freaking out about this. Yes Orlando made out worse than anyone thought but didn't we always think the lakers would flip Bynum for Howard? That always made sense and they have to take duhons salary. It makes sense. What doesn't make sense is Orlando's haul but who cares about orlando?

You would be surprised by the fact that some fans do care more about luxury tax as opposed to fielding as good of a team as possible.

Wow - Nash/Bryant/Artest/Gasol/Howard

Okay then. That's pretty impressive. At least the heat won't be winning back-to-back championships.
