Larry Coon insisting starting backcourt for LAC will be CP3/Billups.

Its funny how one bad season and management isn't this, and management isn't that. Dwight just wants to leave, it isn't for winning or anything else. I don't buy it. He just wants to go.

Durant has a good team with a management that knew how to put a team together. We'll see what he does when the team faces some adversity.

Durant had a team with multiple high draft picks, we'll see how good a gm he really is when they all come off their rookie contracts.

Here it is Magic fans....the MEGA-TRADE to end all trades, IF we have to trade D12...

http://basketball.realgm.com/tradecheck ... de/5950825

I absolutely LOVE this new team....I think it's way better than our current team. And it works for all teams involved (I would say maybe not for Houston, but like Ive said...they already greenlighted these moves in the previous Lakers-CP3 trade for some bizarre reason. It adds in a good defensive SF for GSW in Metta, which Mark Jackson would probably like a lot, as well as giving them young talent and shooters in Ryno+JJ. What do you guys think? Would you like it, and why or why wouldn't it get done?

If we are going to deal with the Lakers we have till December 15, where the Sasha Vujacic TPE expires we would dump Q and Duhon.

If Dwight is traded to L.A. and doesn't win a title in 1 or 2 years, lol at he would have to rebuild with the Lakers for about 4-5 years just like Kobe did and be screwed because Kobe is coming to the halt of his career. Lakers Pg is Fisher, they got Artest, Walton.

magic04life · Post #210 » by **magic04life** » Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:57 am

How can anybody be against trading Dwight/Hedo for Bynum/Gasol?

If we made that trade, we'd still have a chance at winning the East. Bynum/Gasol/J-Rich/Jameer/JJ/ is a great core.

Nope, i agree with you. I dont want Bynums immature injury proned ass on the team and gasol is a soft #2 player who cant be the main guy on a team

I've been saying this all along. He doesn't want to be here. It's not about winning a title or this or that, he simply doesn't want to be here.

He's not being a man about it. Instead of being a man about it and coming out and saying it, he's using excuses and saying things like "God wants me to do it."

I would much rather we took the rebuild approach rather than try to compete with Pau/Bynum. The Lakers didn't come close last year AND they had Kobe..

ummm maybe because Bynum has yet to play a full season. maybe because it would destroy the franchise if Bynum turns into another grant hill situation. those are just a few things that come to my mind besides his "potential".

I've been wondering this too.

Dwight is obviously a better player than CP3 but NOR is getting much better offers than we are.

zuppafly · Post #220 » by **zuppafly** » Thu Dec 15, 2011 1:02 am

And now things are gonna start really rolling.
Everyone was waiting to see where CP3 was headed to.

What does this trade mean to Orl and the D12 situation?
I have no clue. And after all that was made and said in the last 72 hours, I doubt anyone knows (even Howard)...
