Maybe they can sabotage the vote at the last minute and resume the lockout.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I find it so funny, Stern is out there announcing the end of the lockout and saying we are going to have a more competitive league as the Lakers get handed yet another superstar.

How many times did the players change in that trade? It was Bynum/Odom, then Gasol/Odom, then Gasol to Houston, Odom/losers to NO, now back to Bynum/Odom again?

If it is Bynum/Odom, good for us. No way we deal Howard for Gasol/filler.

They need to make up the money they lost.

What better way then creating another dynasty in the biggest market.

I don't wish injury on anyone. But I won't be mad if Kobe blows out his knee the first game of the season. Then have Bynum go down (again). Magic clear cap room. Magic steal CP3. Stern cries himself to sleep.

You know what worries me even more??

If the Lakers let Bynum walk next summer & trade away some of their small contracts, they'd have 32mil in capspace. So CP can opt out & share that capspace with Dwight

Let's all enjoy these last months of Dwight in Orlando :)

Bynum/Odom I believe. Houston was in the deal, but they dropped out. If they would have stayed in, Gasol would ahve been going to Houston.

@WojYahooNBA Breaking: Cuban and other league owners to file a lawsuit against the NBA for anti-trust practices. NBA trade of CP3 was straw that broke the camels back according to sources.
