Trading Dwight could mean two things.
A.) Trade with nets to help load off the majority of bad contracts (Jrich-Duhan-QRich) out of the way, and we go complete tank+rebuild+Draftpicks...Hennigan's skill will be tested through the draft picks to get great role players until we can sign a all star player or 2 to compliment with them. Future can be bright in Orlando.
B) Trade with Lakers, we get Bynum and mediocre players with low-mediocre team in Orlando for years to come. We will be a 30 plus team for a few seasons. Not to mention we will only have enough cap space for a star player in 2013 to compliment Bynum when there are La Lakers+Miami Heat+New York Knicks+Boston+OKC with multiple stars and better role players upahead.
BRIGHT FUTURE or MEDICORE FOR YEARS TO COME?
And here's where most of you are missing the point.
If we were getting lottery picks back for Dwight - then yes.
But we're not - we'd be getting back a bunch of late first round picks.
And don't short change Bynum... There is not a 15 win differential b/w having Dwight and having Bynum. I'm sorry - but you're blind if you think there is.
Bynum and Nicholson/BBD can be a DYNAMIC front court and more effective offensively.
And let's be honest - Ryno was a sieve on defense. Nicholson and BBD are a massive upgrade defensively over him - offsetting some of where Dwight excels over Bynum.
For every team that pulls an OKC draft type rebuild, there are 10 teams trapped in perennial hell still trying.
