You could have got the #6 overall pick, cap relief, a good young 7'0 center, MarShon Brooks, plus more draft picks instead they get freaking Afflalo and crap late draft picks!

Just when you thought Otis Smith, here comes Rob Hennigan! After all that drama caused by Dwight, you end up taking such a crap offer.

Trust me, I know what your feeling. Suns fans went through the same things when we had Steve Kerr as GM.

I think the Suns have their own problems to worry about.

Good day sir...

I SAID GOOD DAY...

Here's the irony...

Bynum's numbers are going to go up in Philly while Dwight's have a good chance of dropping a bit in LA because of all the other offensive options.

I can easily see Bynum being a 23/14 guy in Philly.

If we had gotten at least one lottery pick to go with our own inevitable lottery pick - I could have stomached it.

I'm still blown away we didn't make more of a serious effort to put a proper team around Dwight.

If the plan is to blow this team up and field a lottery team for a couple seasons why not make a serious effort at improving the roster around Howard first? There's plenty of time to suck in the future. Rushing in to that process gives us no promise that we'll get through it faster especially since its all based on a lottery anyway.

By the time the Magic have sucked long enough to draft some Durant type talent the Afflalo will be out of his prime. Harkless will be entering his, but he's not shown to be a cant miss talent. None of those pieces are can't miss pieces.

Pretty sure you get better stuff than Afflalo and sucker picks.

Not if he continues to have an injury riddled career. In that case, the Magic would continue to find themselves in cap hell to stay relevant.

Something's not right. There's more to this than people are letting on, actually know.

Martins said ANY trade for Dwhinner had to include three elements. I guess these were the 3 elements.

1. Try to emulate what Otis Smith would do.

2. Try to ensure that any deal includes at least 3 worthless draft picks and take on bad contracts to replace bad contracts of basically 2 stiffs and possibly a rookie stiff.

3. Bend over and grab your ankles so Howard, Fegan, the Lakers, Denver and Philly can ram it on home while they laugh all the way to the playoffs.

And the really sad part is I doubt Hennigan realizes he has been corn-dogged!

I agree. I'm still hoping that there's more to this that we'll find out after that morning conference call.

I'm hoping I go to sleep and wake up at four in the afternoon and I find out that we are actually getting Bynum and Iggy.

This is a terrible trade plain and simple.

Bynum and Afflalo or Turner or even Harkless would have been nice.

Dwight got traded to LA. Deal is:

LA gets: D12

PHI gets: Bynum and J-Rich

DEN gets: Iggy

We get: Aaron Afflalo, Moe Harkless, Al Harrington, Vucevic, 3 protected 1sts

That should sum it up.
