Woj: LA Orl Den Phi Talk For Dwight/Complete (update pg 64)

AntwanBoldin · Post #921 » by **AntwanBoldin** » Fri Aug 10, 2012 2:20 am

nets were also getting them more picks and cap relief

Uuords - So I'm biased. (Getting that out of the way). But isn't Lopez for $61m at 4 years better than Afflalo+Harrington at $52m for 4+3?

This deal is pretend . Mark it down

Howard/Hill
Gasol/Jamison
World Peace/??
Kobe/??
Nash/Blake

Lakers just need another 3 point shooter and their set.

This whole deal is a Stone Cold Steve Austin middle finger to the Nets and Houston. lol..

Why doesn't Orlando just deal Howard to the Rockets and get back about 10 times more in value? Why? WHY?!

Cocky Laker fans just so you know the deal isn't even official yet. Do you guys realize how rare a 4 team deal is...?

nice find

A four-team trade that would send Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers is complete, multiple sources told ESPN on Thursday night.

A source with direct knowledge of the talks told ESPN.com's Marc Stein that the Lakers will receive Howard, the Denver Nuggets will get Andre Iguodala, the 76ers will get Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson, and the Magic will get Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic and one protected future first-round pick from each of the other three teams.

In addition, the Magic will be getting other pieces, including 76ers No. 1 draft pick Moe Harkless, a source told Stein.

I'm curious to hear what the final deal is and what all the pieces are that Orlando will be getting. I'm hearing about Harkless, Afflalo, Harrington, Vucevic + 3 1st rd picks (LA, Phili, Denver)

word was morey was lowballing the magic. Makes sense, can't lose al, your assets for a likely rental. But you can question if their lowball was better than this

I don't think the deal is terrible for ORL.

I'm not sure I would want Affalo as my key piece for a rebuilding trade. He seems like a better complimentary piece with a contending team than someone to build around. That said, they're getting:

a. Affalo. How valuable of a piece he is is a matter of opinion.
b. Harrington - Contract is only partially guaranteed the two seasons after this so he could be a trade chip down the road.
c. Prospects - Harkless, Vucevic, maybe Ebanks from the Lakers
d. Cap relief - J. Richardson is going to PHI and I suspect at least one of Duhon or Q. Richardson is going to LAL
c. Draft picks - 3 1st round picks according to reports

I don't remember exactly how much cap relief ORL got in the old Nets trade, but I think this is better than a trade built around Brook Lopez.

Incorrect. He's partially guaranteed, 50% each of the last two years. Still owed over 14 million guaranteed on the remainder of his contract.

Ahh, ok. Harrington still wouldn't be that hard to trade away. I don't really see it as too terrible of a trade.

/not a lakers fan, just think its better than the nets deal.

Bynum + Late 1st Rounder for Dwight (and don't even have take on a bad contract)

Man Lakers FO is something else

You don't need to tell us twice after the CP3 trade, but this trade is pretty much complete bearing a major Stern cockblock

RTM · Post #936 » by **RTM** » Fri Aug 10, 2012 2:22 am

The Lakers look really formidable next year: Nash/Blake/Kobe/Artest/Jamison/Gasol/Dwight/Hill.

And while I love Bynum's fit in Philly, they're giving up a decent amount (2 recent 1sts and a future 1st) and taking on JRich (who will be a good fit) to make the swap from Iggy. But, all in all, still a good deal on their end.

Denver gets really good value.

And Orlando... Well, it could be worse. I don't think it's *as* bad as some of you are making it out to be. But it's not the move you'd want.

Wolves21 · Post #937 » by **Wolves21** » Fri Aug 10, 2012 2:22 am

Gangster move by Mitch.Showtime is back with Kobe,Nash and the troll Dwight Howard(as a Laker fan I am hype for this move,but Howard is still a tool) bty this song should be played whenever Mitch shows up as his theme song.

there was no way the magic would've traded dwight to a team in the east and have to play him 4x a year. :lol:

So the Lakers just got Howard for Bynum striaght up.. Wow. You have got to applaud their management. They do it time and time again. Making these other teams look like f uckin idiots. I hate you LA. But god damn well done.
