Besides Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, Lamar Odom and Goran Dragic, Hornets will also receive a draft pick from Houston, source says.

Really?

So not only is Houston bending over, but they are also supplying the Vaseline. Great.

Oh good lord, the Hornets get a draft pick, but it's from Houston, not LA.

Demps: "We're gonna need a draft pick for it to look at least somewhat legit..."

*Kupchak grimaces and turns to Morrey*

"Can you spot me on this one, brah?"

Just want to say, I've been reading everything this forum has posted the past few days, you guys are hilarious. Pretty sure I experienced every emotion along the way. But after this trade, after all this crap about Howard leaving I'm done reading RealGM or anything for a while. Really can't believe it, won't be shocked if Lakers get Howard somehow but Bynum to Magic is disgraceful.

Blah.

Adios

I think it's pretty obvious now. The NBA needs LA and Kobe to be relevant going forward. They make humongous amounts of money and their TV deal will be paying many small market teams through revenue sharing. No one can convince me that this was not planned to the wire including the 2 year window for sign and trades and the new structure of contracts. I beleive the Magic know that Dwight has been gifted to the Lakers and are just playing coy until the move is to be made.

Ultimately the NBA is a business and it will do what is in it's best interest. I'm not quite sure what to say but that the fact that Bynum was not traded tells us that they WANT to send him to Orlando as a concilation prize for the Magic without looking like we lost out on our super star center again for nothing. I'm convinced that this deal will happen after the all-star break to avoid the shame of Orlando not having to suffer the indifnity of hosting an all-star game without an all-star. It is what it is i guess. If anyone here is contunuing to delude themselves that this is not going to happen then good on them, but it seems pretty clear to me. I don't want him, but welcome to the Magic Andrew Bynum....
