Magic get stuck with 2 three year deals that combine for about 15 million annually. 3 picks that wont be lotto picks. And a few players I cannot pronounce. They are not competing for the playoffs or the first pick.

Howard goes to a place he desired.

Magic front office stinks. Something is fishy. They made a deal with him to opt in.

If it was me I would have been on the horn with all lotto teams with cap space coming into the draft. Give me the pick, and a TPE and he's yours. I would have shipped him to the bobcats.

Never underestimate the strength of knowledge.

Bring back the physical game and send the softies home.

I'm with you here. If you wanted to get back to Dwight and give him the ultimate low blow on the way out, banish him to the Bobcats or the Cavs, and let them try to convince him to stay.

This trade does impact us doesn't it? It means we are keeping our 2014 draft pick correct? The 2014 draft pick was the one that the Nuggets had swap right too correct? Now the Magic have that pick and we will be better than them....So it does impact the Knicks :-)

I love the idea, but honestly those deals weren't on the table.

Maaaaaybe Dan Gilbert is crazy enough to ship out an unprotected 1st for renting Dwight. Other than that, I doubt it was an option.

Would have been hilarious though -- watching the city of Cleveland beg Dwight to stay.

Nope 2016 was the right to swap.

Lets just be happy that Dwight(had to put his name in here) isn't a Net and all their money is committed to 4 players...3 of which who are injury prone and basically absolute sh**! Brook Lopez is a goon who won't play more than 25 games this season...no wonder ORL didn't want him!

lol..No matter what he does, he’ll be labeled a “genius” for some reason…. The thing is what star player would want to play for Houston considering the fact that they stink and have no shot at winning..

For the 2014 first round pick, Denver will send whichever is the lower / less favorable pick to Orlando (either ours from the Melo deal or their original first round pick).

It angers me as a Knick fan that our management has been so consistently bad for so many years now, while the flagship franchise on the left coast keeps making winning move after winning move.

The Dwight Howard trade specifically reminds me of how poorly Dolan handled the Melo negotiations. It specifically reminds me of how delusional Isiah Thomas was in the Eddy Curry trade. It specifically reminds me of how horrified I still am to this day about the Antonio McDyess trade.

Call it derailing if you want, Paco. The way I see it, the Dwight Howard trade should make every person who's ever been an executive for the Knicks in the post-Ewing/Jim Dolan era hang their head in shame.

To make you feel better, I posted a similar thought in the F*CK JIM DOLAN thread.
