Yeah he was so great when he paid Luke Walton and completely screwed the pooch until Memphis bent over backward and donated Gasol.

Gasol, Nash, Howard. If the the trade off for all that is overpaying Luke Walton I gladly take it.

he can't stop this transaction since the league doesn't control any teams involved.

It's really about even for PHI in my opinion. It's not just Vujecic + Iggy. They're also giving up Harkless and a future 1st and they're taking on Jason Richardson's contract. Considering that it's not an absolute guarantee Bynum re-signs with them I could find some merit to it if a Philly fan(not me despite my user name) didn't like the trade.

Well you still have Big Baby and JJ.Sorry I know that's a low blow.But on the plus side Afflalo who's a really nice semi young SG.But your team will blow for a few season at least.But at least you will know who the true fans are now.As a Wolves fan we have been pretty **** sense the 03-04 season and just this past season are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.Hopefully you Magic fans don't have to go threw that kind of pain.

What a f*****g joke....seriously, don't get Pau or Bynum, don't get any high picks, don't get rid Hedo, and get a bunch of junk.

Seriously, just move the team to Seattle.

I don't even think Seattle would even want them XD

LoL. If an LA/ Miami finals (almost inevitably) happen, I won't really know which team to cheer for.

I want to see Orlando's justification for this trade. I feel like the offers got progressively worse, and they just gave up so to speak. Mitch Kupchak is going to go down as a legend.

I mean you rarely get equal value back when a player demands a trade but you're telling me there isn't a better package to swing Bynum for in a 3 way? With this crap the Magic should have just taken their chances on an extension with Bynum, assured him he was their franchise player and prayed.

I'll tell you what though. Affalo, Vucevic, Harrington, Harklin and three first round picks is a lot better than what the Lakers got for Shaq on 04.

That's just simply an incorrect statement. They the the 2nd and 3rd best players on an up and coming Miami team. LO and Tough Juice had INFINITELY more potential than the poo poo platter Orlando was just served. As in both LO and Tough Juice would've been the best players in this deal had they been going to Orlando.

No he isn't. Not at all. Just stop. The zip code is all that matters. Cleveland could offer a MUCH better deal...but Dwight would never re-sign. Mitch is nothing special as a GM. He just sits back and waits for players to fall to him.

It is fairly surprising that you guys can't figure this thing out. Instead you run to this board like a bunch of fanboys and post 1st grade sayings like "Mitch is the goat".

Why you mad? GIve Mitch his props. Houston could have Dwight, were willing to trade for him without any assurance of re-signing. There were a number of teams wanting to do the same thing. Brooklyn tried like hell to get him, yet Mitch found a way to get him to LA. The odds were against him, and he got it done. Has nothing to with the zip code Cleveland. Just give the man his props and stop being mad.

I'm sorry, I'm just completely ecstatic right now. I didn't mean much when I posted that. I'm just glad this is all FINALLY over, and my team improved.

I'm sure other pieces were added. This is probably just the framework.

Best GM in a long, long time. My lord.

Gets Nash, Dwight, Jamison.

Trades a TPE, Bynum, spend a vet min.

I mean, really?

And to think that he pulled off a CP3 trade last year too.

the best thing about him is his patience. He sat on the Howard deal for a very long time and got exactly the deal he wanted.

Sorry to hit Magic fans below the belt but DAMN you two best players in team history in their primes in Shaq and Dwight both left for the Lakers.That's got to be a tough pill to take.
