I freakin' can't believe this.

And people thought we didnt have assets...All the Hornets talked about was young picks and players then they do the complete opposite nice.....With a WC team nonetheless...You know I dont even care that it's not Orlando. How the eff does LA throw bull around and land all stars? Must be easy when you're gift wrapped players.

NBA is rigged... what a joke... we had better **** to work with in a three team deal than stupid LA

The NBA is turning me into a bitter, bitter person. I've never been closer to giving up on a 20 year passion that is NBA basketball. I've lost faith...

I'm only mad IF Dwight forces his way to LA. As it is Kobe and Paul sound fantastic, but without Gasol or Odom that's a team with flaws. Big flaws. They could still win a championship, but it doesn't spell "superteam" to me.

Of course there's been a lot of speculation that this deal wouldn't have gone down if the Lakers didn't have something planned as far as getting Dwight. Well... I just hope that isn't true, if it is THEN I get mad. As it is, not done with the NBA.

The worst thing that I can see is that it becomes even more clear, "regular teams" are going to have a very hard time winning for the next 5 years with all the top players joining forces. I can't blame Dwight if he doesn't want to be the one guy who doesn't have a chance to win, so our one chance is to sign somebody he wants. To me, a couple of the guys on his list aren't THAT good (let's just say they aren't Chris Paul) and are actually pretty reasonable. Do everything you can to get a guy like Ellis, and see if it satisfies him.

So, now Dwight's most likely gonna demand a trade to LA,

The 2013 draft, any future superstars in it? If so, can we directly sign them to their rookie deals & first max contract? To avoid a drama like this ..

We are **** btw.

Kobe demands trade. LA gets giftwrapped Gasol. LA wins 2 rings. LA gets swept. LA gets giftwrapped the top PG on the planet for the now 31 year old Gasol. Dwight will be traded for Bynum, this **** is corrupt.

That was quite possibly the WORST scenario to have played out for magic fans.

I see a lot of overreacting. Chris Paul ain't what he used to be and LA just gave up all their size. Dwight will not be traded there.

I guess Stern doesnt care about LP renewals from other then LA and Miami fans

it's on SportsCenter guys (ESPN NEWS)

I want to kill Chris Broussard... his voice is just making it worse

I hope Bynum, Paul, and Kobe all blow their knees in preseason (unless Bynum is on the Magic by then of course).

If Dwight stays with us even if he had the chance to go to LA. I dont think I could respect anybody more in my life.

I got news for you. There was this guy who is a new signee to RealGM that I have been arguing with on the Heat forum for two days.

He is a heat fan, but said it from the beginning that Chris Paul and Dwight Howard will be Lakers.

He said he will reveal his identity, but knows from true sources that this will happen.

He said Dwight will join the Lakers as a Free Agent next offseason.

Well, a bunch of us gave him hell the whole time and I was pretty brutal on the guy. He didn't rub it in that bad just now, but said just wait and see.

Now, Chris Paul is a Laker and they still have Bynum available to trade for Dwight or can get Dwight as a Free Agent next summer.

Want to knkow why. Because, they will be at around $65 salary next offseason and could Amnesty Pau Gasol to get to $45 million and Give Dwight a Max Contract.

Everything this guy said since signing a few days ago came true.

Plus, Dwight is still not saying if he will stay or go.

If this does happen as this guy says, I truly will hate the NBA and never watch or discuss this game again.
