Seriously. Throw in a few nick Anderson free throws and I can't think of anything worse.

You seriously can't think of another team that might have had worse luck than Orlando in the last 15 years?

other teams may have been worse, but the amount of great players they either lost or were injured is pretty remarkable.

The fact that they had those players at all makes them luckier than us

Still hearing that the four-team deal is bigger than what has been reported. Don't be surprised if additional players are in finalized deal.

i wonder if will is going somewhere

They've now chosen the route of mediocrity for at least the next two seasons, all for the betterment of the Lakers franchise.

To be fair, Denver was more than willing to give Melo the max.

Fair enough. I guess my point is that of all the follow up moves to make, Denver makes one that makes them no better than a few seasons ago while having the same cap issues and making the Lakers a whole lot better.

With Iggy going to Denver, I would think that makes Gallo or Will C expendable. Am I right? I haven't followed the Nugs so I don't know who plays where and how often

Nuggets are high on Gallo. Chandler is the odd man out.

Maybe Kobe is being traded for Hedo. Then i guess it would be fair.

As per Alex Kennedy, the actual deal will be something like:

Philly Receives: Bynum
Denver Receives: Artest
Orlando Receives: Al Harrington, Top 29 protected 1st
LA Receives: Howard, Iggy, Richardson, Faried, Evan Turner, TPE

Why do opposing GMs continue to help the Lakers?

Shaq and Dwight? Lakers continue to pimp smack Orlando.

The Magic will receive a second round pick from the Nuggets in the Dwight Howard trade that is a 2013 Warriors pick, source tells Y! Sports.

now it makes sense

For what it's worth (and it's not worth that much), that's one of the picks they received from the Knicks...

I don't quite get the Denver involvement in this deal - but I don't see Igodala as an upgrade over Affalo, at least offensively. Not quite sure what Denver GM is doing here...

The Magic are definitely a worse ran organization than the Knicks

Magic & Bobcats both

I wouldn't think so. Chandler is best suited next to a 3 like Iggy. I would almost bring Gallo off the bench with their current roster makeup. Either way, Iggy makes them a much much better team on fit alone.

the bottom line is the LAL FO is the best in the business....just 5 stars, they know what they are doing

people hate them, but I respect them for continuing to get big fish after big fish

as far as PHI they made out like bandits, they got the best lot of the deal

LOL @ ORL, thats all I can say

iggy only has 2 years left on his deal, arron has 4 years left. they probably just had buyer's remorse the way they did with nene.

Is it a team that has had Steve Francis and an old Penny Hardaway on it before?
