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

so no picks in the top 10. wow.

seriously...can we not derail this thread?

I'd rather talk about how Dr. Buss got Nash, Pau, Dwight for literally Bynum & late picks

They kept Pau???

Josh Smith for Gasol, coming soon. Watch.

Lakers gonna rape the League for another 5 years....sigh.

Trash deal. Won't believe it till its done.

Lakers dont have a pick to deal till 2017

Supposedly Harrington's deal is only partially guaranteed on the last 2yrs, this has to be the only motivation Orlando accepts him in a deal.

Horrible trade for Orlando as of how the talks stand now.

Dr. Buss is the fcking GOAT

what if neither player extends and they both walk?

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

Philadelphia is a good destination for Bynum - isn't he from NJ? Plus they are a good team.

Lakers is ultimate destination for Howard - why wouldn't he stay? Playing there gives him the opportunity to become the highest paid athlete in the history of the Sport.

No. No. There's no way. No way the Magic held out for THIS deal. There has to be a glitch in the Matrix or something going on.

He built a culture where players are dying to play for the Lakers.

Our team has to beg mediocre players to play for them because our owner is so bad.

They would be better off trading him to Houston shedding one salary and taking the Toronto lotto pick and that's it. That's how bad this deal is.

yep. it will probably be top 10 protected anyway.

I really dont know how the Lakers do it. They have bullied teams for their best players for years. No team has done what the Lakers have done. Even the Celtics went through a period of futility. I dont get how they do it. How do the other teams bend over backwards for the Lakers.

The Nets deal blows this one out of the water.

Lakers/Heat Finals for the next 4 years.

Rest of the league is just playing for fun.

Sadly, yes. No way this goes down.
