It makes you a different animal...but the same beast.

"What the **** does that mean, Kobe Bryant?"

Afflalo is a good player. They get a few young players from Philly and a bunch of picks (albeit late ones).

They should have found a way to dump more, but it is what it is. They should have traded Dwight a long time ago, and now, they get what they can.

Can we move Orlando to Seattle now?

What a f*****g joke....seriously, don't get Pau or Bynum, don't get any high picks, don't get rid Hedo, and get a bunch of junk.

Seriously, just move the team to Seattle.

The question would be now, can Perkins hold his own against D12 or not?

Nope. There are only a couple of guys in the league who can deal with Dwight down low: Bynum and a healthy Bogut. Everyone else is either too slow or not bulky enough. The best way to stop Howard is to send in weak-side defenders to strip the ball or go for the block. Or pull a Mark Jackson and foul him whenever he touches the ball.

Guys....this is a TERRIBLE deal for Orlando. TERRIBLE. They got nothing back in return. Nothing at all. You talk about these late 1st rounders as if they are a prize? Mo Harkless? LoL.

This is shockingly bad....shockingly bad.

That package right there is iike 100 times better than the **** they got here. And Houston offered to take more junk from them....

Poor Hennigan...I mean I know he was backed into a corner and couldn't hope for "equal value" but wow. Otis Smith is rolling in his grave.

They could have had Kevin Martin + prospects + draft picks + cap relief for Dwight alone. I'm sure Houston would have taken J-Rich and Turk along with Dwight. Would have been better to start fresh, but now they have to deal with Harrington's contract so I'm not exactly sure what they are smoking in Orlando...

No he isn't. Not at all. Just stop. The zip code is all that matters. Cleveland could offer a MUCH better deal...but Dwight would never re-sign. Mitch is nothing special as a GM. He just sits back and waits for players to fall to him.

It is fairly surprising that you guys can't figure this thing out. Instead you run to this board like a bunch of fanboys and post 1st grade sayings like "Mitch is the goat".

We might as well all start bowing down and admitting that LAL will be the new basketball gods.
