Deal Works.
Sigh, in all my times playing this game, I've NEVER done a deal like this. I personally don't like this deal, but I've got the recent impression that Dwight would not stay with the franchise. I always though, in return, I wanted two things; a.) franchise sort block and b.) to shed Gilbert Arenas. I figure with this trade, I somewhat accomplish this goal. We're excited about Bynum, and feel he can develop into the 2nd best center in the NBA (especially with recent talks about using him more on offense and defense), and Bosh is another proven all-star that can return to his 20/10 level with more a featured role on offense. I still think we can stay competitive, with Allen, Nelson, and a solid bench, but we plan for more to come. Saying all this, I'm in a mood to make myself feel better, so I'm open to ANY trade offer from here on out.
Magic accept.
couple of vetoes on this deal but not enough to delay/cancel
