As terrible as this is, I haven't lost hope in a Dwight coming here. Some way some how, get it done Billy.

Pretty much what most of said in March. King needs to go (even though we know he won't).

This ensures Dwight to the Lakers.

I was thinking if you could put Lopez along with a top 5 pick, Orlando would prefer a potential fresh face in the draft to sell the fans.

Now without a lottery pick, Orlando will just get the best young prospect they can in Bynum.

Very terrible trade by Billy king.

Depends on whether or not Bynum will agree to an extension and whether or not the Magic are confident he'll hold up over the long-term (unlikely).

Anyone else find themselves singing this song (to the tune of Jason Segal's Man or Muppet from The Muppets OST)

I reflect on my reflection
and I ask myself the question
What's the right direction, to go I don't know
Am I a king or am I a clown (am I a clown)
If I'm a clown then im a very manly clown (a very manly clown)
Am I a clown (clown) or am I a king (am I a king)
If I'm a king that makes me a clown of a king (a clown of a king)

Oh so now it makes sense why King made the deal he made. After AD, Community, and HIMYM, there's really no good shows on regular cable TV anymore.

If its to the point that they lose Dwight for scrap, I think they roll the dice. Bynum strikes me as a guy who will sign for that chance of being the #1 option and a whole lot-a-mouse-a

Bynum already said he will play any where. He won't even risk another knee injury holding out on a contract.

Its such a done deal
