Dude get outa here, you repetitiveness is annoying.
Here's why your, and many others, analysis is pointless...because you are all focusing on next years win totals. Could a Lopez/Wallace or an Iggy trade made us a better team next year? Sure. But those trades also leave you in the mediocrity of being a 5-8 seed for years to come, with no chance of obtaining a top draft pick.
So you must ask yourself, what is more important, being a 1 and done team in the playoffs each year, or eventually winning that championship? Because I can promise you, the Lopez or Iggy deal get you no where near a championship, in fact, although you may have more wins you are actually farther away from the ultimate goal in the future.
Everyone knows you have to have a star to contend. Your not contending with Iggy nor Lopez. So the next 2 years will be about devolping young players and obtaining high draft picks to gets those "stars."
So everyone who says a Lopez/Bynum/Iggy deal was the better choice, you must enjoy being a 1 and done team. If winning a championship is your ultimate goal, which it is here in Orlando, then going this route 'a la the OKC route,' is the way to go.

Those guys obviously had a hard time understanding the Dwight situation, I'm not so sure I value their opinion on this trade. If you think this trade was simply for Affalo and Harrington you don't understand it.
With that being said, does this trade make me happy? No. And that's because I wanted Bynum. BUT, I am willing to give this trade a chance because no one knows how our assets/draft picks turn out for another 3 years.

Brook Lopez/Wallace MAYBE could lead a team to the 8th seed. But Brook Lopez/Brooks/Draft pick definitely would not have landed us in the playoffs and probably would have made us have a worst record this upcoming season.

The Magic wanted to completely rebuild rather than retool. Sure, the Magic could’ve traded Howard for a couple of veterans and finished as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference each year. However, Hennigan felt that it would be better to bring in prospects, acquire draft picks and create cap space. Rather than settling and becoming a middle-of-the-pack team, this gives Orlando the chance to become an elite team in several years by drafting multiple lottery picks and adding pieces through free agency. Hennigan is determined to build a contender, even if it means losing for awhile to reach that point.
Before becoming an elite team, the Oklahoma City Thunder had to endure a dreadful three-year stretch when they went 74-172. They were one of the youngest teams in the league and they struggled to compete on a nightly basis. However, the losing seasons yielded Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden, who recently led them to the NBA Finals. It takes excellent drafting and some luck to go from bottom feeder to contender, but Hennigan was the assistant general manager in Oklahoma City and has seen firsthand that it’s possible.

And then ur stuck with the worst contract in the league in Brook Lopez. I'm pretty sure the Magic are sick of owning that distinction.

Huh? I said I preferred Bynum, but am willing to give this trade a shot.
BTW thats the same German surgery that gave Kobe his best year in about 5 seasons
BTW you're one of the delusional fans who's opinion I don't take seriously that I was referring to
