Paul
Kobe
Artest
Okafur
Bynum

Houston needs to be investigated lmfao. They traded their 2 best players, and gave draft picks for only Gasol. It's like I'm in the **** twilight zone or something.

NBA just released a memo - before Dallas receive their championship rings, there's going to be a special ceremony where Otis receives a solid gold dunce hat.

Darth Magic wrote: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....

This is all that needs to be said

If I've known about today I would have said, let the lockout go on and lose a season...

Yeah, but here in Belgium we've got some very heavy beers 8-)

I should send a box of heavy beers to Otis, he can use it too when he realizes he's the worst GM that ever managed a professional sports team
