To Daniel's credit, he did say "The fade has been activated."

He pretty much accomplished his goal.

Sources also told Broussard the Lakers are ready and eager to trade for Howard -- with a package built around Andrew Bynum -- but that Orlando is holding up the deal. Orlando, while willing to trade Howard, is not in a rush. The Magic will wait until they get a deal they like.

The Lakers remained dogged in their pursuit of Howard late into the night Wednesday and plan to continue discussions into Thursday, a league source told ESPNLosAngeles.com, but the longer the process drags on, the more it complicates their other offseason business and forces them to consider moving on.

How dare the Magic hold things up? Bow to the Lakers and accept the deal.

Now, say Bynum's injury woes continue. Boom, lottery picks. And then there's the chance Bynum does not resign with the Cavs...

Also I like Varejao. But even if the Magic can't find use for him, he's got a decent contract. I can see team's inquiring about him come trade deadlines.

I don't necessarily want to take this trade. But apparently the Houston offer isn't as hot as we all wanted it to be. I'd take the Cavs deal over a 1st, a player, and taking a bad contract that the Rockets may be offering. The Cavs deal probably should be given a little more thought. And maybe at the end of the day, it's just Hennigan trying to up Houston's offer.

The Cavs were in the playoff hunt up until Kyrie got injured. HELL NO to that deal.

17-32 is in the hunt for the playoffs?

1) Lamb/KMart/TOR Pick
2) Bynum
3) let him walk

those should be our only acceptable scenarios.

Cleveland fan. "We've got stuff to trade, next year's 1st....uh..hopefully it's not a lotto pick. Any team would give up a late 1st round pick for Andy (varejao)" Oh ****, sign me up for that.

they were only a few games out around the allstar game. Then they went on a huge slide and lost Kyrie. Add the #4 pick and Andrew Bynum and you don't expect them to be in the playoffs in the weak east???

Finally someone says best scenario is lakers - magic - rockets trade.

Post #1259 » by **eyriq** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 8:26 am

Cause it is 4 in the morning, and only stupid people are awake!

Also, I figured it out, the Magic are involving a third team to take Gasol while we take Bynum and get back the goods for Gasol while also unloading contracts on LAL. There it is.
