Agreed, I don't have any idea why the Orlando GM figured this is much better for them.

It's funny how before this went down, you were pimping Bynum as better than Howard, but now that Howard is a Laker...
Howard
Gasol
Metta
Kobe
Nash
If that team doesn't win 70+ games and the championship, then that's a failure*.

I still think OKC are the favorites.

As do I. I'll believe that LA can say heathly when my **** turns purple and smells of rainbow sherbet

Yeah, you have to wonder why a GM would agree to lottery protected draft picks. I don't want to say the guy's an idiot, but he makes Cuban's not signing Chandler last season look like an act of brilliance. And not signing Chandler, as we all know now, was utterly stupid.
On paper, LA is better, especially in the paint. However, you have to play the game. And Brooks is a better coach than Brown imo.
I think LA is the favorite to win it all though. Unless Kaman stays healthy, and both Collison and Mayo fulfill their potential, in which the Mavs take it all.

The Nets offered Lopez, Humphries, Marshon Brooks, and FOUR unprotected number ones.
Yeah, I think the people of Orlando should be getting a rope now for that GM. He totally screwed the pooch on this one.
It was the owner that made the call
Ah. That makes more sense.
This is why people like Cuban and Jerry Jones need to stay in their luxury boxes and let their GMs make the moves.

Of course, in Jerry Jones case that would mean actually hiring a GM.
Stern blocked the first trade with CP3 because the Hornets didn't have an owner and the NBA essentially owned them. Stern was afraid of the backlash for the trade and thus decided to nix it.
I don't know if he has the ability to block the trade this time since all the GM's are in agreement, but I surely hope not.

Orlando, I'm sorry, but it's time to sell and move that franchise to Las Vegas.

Ironically though this may be better for Houston since they can finally bottom out and build through the draft. One year of Bynum where he bolts in free agency wouldn't have helped anything.

Bynum said he was willing to sign long-term if dealt to Houston.
Bynum said he'd be willing to sign an extensions with most teams because there are banks in all cities

The eastern conference is a total joke.
This means more Adande articles.

Orlando got railroaded.
I don't understand this from Orlando's POV at all. They had a much better deal from Houston as far as saving money. Why be a hardass about getting rid of Jason Richardson if you are going to take back Al Harrington, who makes more than Richardson.
Bizarre.
Bizarre.
Maybe Howard broke into the owner's house, pointed a 9mm at him and said, "I'm gonna blast you now sucka if you don trade me!" The owner then crapped his pants and called LA and Denver.
Damn and they got Meeks. They desperately needed more outside shooting. He's going to get tons of open looks.
Geez Orlando seems dumb
In retrospect, Orlando won this trade.
quote:
A source with direct knowledge of the talks told ESPN.com's Marc Stein the Lakers will receive Howard, the Denver Nuggets will acquire Andre Iguodala, the 76ers will receive Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson, and the Magic will get Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic and one protected future first-round pick from each of the other three teams.
And then fleeced the Bucks soon after.
Iowa do you know something. Eerie ttt

Howard is not a very well liked individual, and that was before the decision (Q score).
