Only thing stopping the Lakers the next couple years is injuries. That big 4 is just unfair.

Yeah wtf? This could be the worst trade ever for a superstar in his prime. picks from non lottery teams and marginal players for Dwight. The hell?

Vomit enducing.

Obviously the Lakers getting Dwight straight up for Bynum is disgusting, but literally every team makes out well except Orlando, and they're taking on the contracts of Harrington and Afflalo? Even if it's just one of them, this is insane.

I like how the Lakers end up with Nash and Howard and we end up with Felton and Kidd lol.

where is this from ?

i just don't know what orlando is thinking.

Quite a few twitter feeds have speculated that, but no one knows for sure.

They seem to all agree the deal is done, and Pau was not included though.

Out of all the superstar trades, we clearly made the worst.

Nobody wants to play for Dolan. He's only surpassed by Donald Sterling in awfulness.

This trade is actually worst than the BAT Dwight Howard trade.

Having two team willing to deal for players with no agreement to them is the critical part.

I can understand LA doing it, they can sell Dwight.

Philly is just thirsty.

It's true though and it'll always be compared to other star trades. Is it even deniable right now?

Names in deal still emerging but sources say ORL definitely getting Afflalo, Harrington, Vucevic & one future 1ST from all three other teams

The trade parameters Marc Stein just tweeted make zero sense for Orlando.

I guess Turkey Glue officially now has an un-tradeable contract.

An extension is worth like 3 more players, 2 more picks, and more cap room?
