lmao @ the thought of shipping Richardson to get back an even worse contract in Harrington

Enter Houston at the last second...

Wait for it...

Wait for it...

Wait for ittttttt...

Damn.

This deal sucks. We just became the worst team in the league.

Side note: Why would we want Al Harrington?

Looking at the Heat and them getting better(Allen/Lewis) I say they will have a great shot of winning the championship again even if we kept Dwight.

This drama will soon be over and we can start talking basketball again. Lets move on and get ready for some Magic Basketball I'll ride this ship till one of us is no longer here.

So we're dumping JRICH and Turk? And getting back Affalo, Harkless, Vucivev, Harrington, Ebanks, Spencer Hawes and 3 first round picks?

Lakers receives Dwight.

Orlando receives Affalo, Harkelss, Vucevic, Harrington, picks.

Philly receives Bynum and Richardson

Denver receives Iggy

we give up the best player who is a super star, and receive role players and the 5th best player?

I will financially stop supporting the Magic. What a **** terrible deal.

This is stupid. I predict we will still be speculating on Saturday.

So we end up with Harkless, the guy were had on mockdraft for a year.

I would hope that Hennigan would have already made calls about this and has something secured or else, you're right, it would be a failure.

I think the end result will have the Magic netting Gasol, Afflalo, Vucevic, picks, and cap relief.

Then, in a separate deal we trade Gasol to either Minnesota or Houston.

Minnesota: Derrick Williams + Pekovic

Houston: Kevin Martin (expiring/wing help) + Chandler Parsons + (1) of their 2012 1st round picks.

Obviously Dwighty could have made this a lot better even by having a few more teams on his list. He wouldn't do that and that is why we are in a no win position, simple as that. Imagine the nice deal we could have if Superman was willing to pave his own way in Houston.

I'll deal with the Magic side in a second....but this means LA got D12 for Bynum and a 2017 1st without even TAKING BACK A CONTRACT?? Kupchak owns, Hennigan fails.

Ouch, Dwight for three late first rounders.

LetItRain · Post #496 » by **LetItRain** » Fri Aug 10, 2012 2:13 am

What is wrong with you guys? What did you think we were going to get? Houston was never offering that much I'm sure and the Nets deal sucked. Magic obv didn't want Bynum or Gasol. I'm fine with Afflalo, Harkless and picks. I'm a little confused as to why we're taking on Harrington, but at this point I'm over the Dwight drama.

Let's move on.

The deal submitted to the league does not have Pau in it according to everyone. Could change, but...

An #nba front office source telling me tonight that this proposed trade is "terrible" for the #magic. @DwightHoward. Food for thought

Well, duh!

Did that idiot really need sources to tell him that? Damn Ping!
