"Breaking News" The NBA is Corrupt.

[KG Living Legend]

 I was OK with Howard going to the Lakers for their starting front court. But Keeping Gasol makes this so wrong again.

 Arron Agustin Afflalo and Al Harrington and crappy picks for Dwight Howard. Lets get real here this is just wrong.

 It makes sense for Bynum he was at least smart enough not to go to a terrible team in Orlando. The Lakers Get the best center in the world and keep Gasol no brainer there.

 The Magic get A. Afflalo. Wait What? Yeah you know a gut who has had two seasons scoring more 10 PPG. And last season was by far his best year averaging 15 PPG 3 RPG and 2 APG, sounds like Courtney Lee or maybe a poor mans Jason Terry.

 Everyone knows here that in a trade for a top 5 player like Howard those picks mean almost nothing now. For a player of this magnitude you have to get back a ready  made star now. I can't remember the last time I have seen such a lopsided trade for a future Hall of fame player.

 Someone try explaining this to me please.

Bynum is a pretty fair giveaway for Dwight.

It is Orlando's fault they didn't find a better offer.  The NBA is corrupt against Orlando?

It's actually Afflalo, Vucevic, Harkless, and Al Harringon, plus three #1s for Howard and Jason Richardson, according to the reports.

It's not the best return. Magic got no All-Stars in return. But they did get a bona fide young, quality starter, two prospects, financial relief, and multiple 1st rounders.

I don't mind the trade from LA's side, honestly.  They won the trade, but it's not like they gave up nothing.

But the Magic are fools.  This is incomprehensible from their point of view.  You trade the third-best (maybe second-best) player in the NBA, and the best player you get in return is Arron Afflalo?  Arron Afflalo?

Look, I like Afflalo as a player, but he's a fourth starter on a contender at best.  They traded a true superstar for a fourth starter, some average roleplayers and prospects, and some low-value draft picks (each one of the other three teams benefited from this trade and should be picking late in the first round as a result).

Stern should have vetoed that deal from a Magic standpoint. Houston's deals by far outdone this deal but management in Orlando settles for this! Shameful for Magic fans to have to root for that team next year but it is what it is. If I was a Magic fan the wouldn't get any support from me for awhile as a token of my disgust! Stern should really step in on this 1 being it's worse than the 1 he vetoed for CP3.

I wouldn't call it corrupt.

I'd say the NBA plays favorites, and leave it at that.

[Celtics18]

I would say it's more like; "Breaking News:  Orlando is inept."

This.

It's a business and its all about marketability.

Maybe it will come around to bite them in the butt when Dwight sucks after his injury.

No one seems to be worried about DH's back surgery

You included.  You've been complaining about the Lakers winning this trade more than anybody else.

That was the deal? So we can basically knock Orlando out the of playoffs and mark their games against as W's. I'm cool with that.

The Hornets trade was the ONLY trade he vetoed ever - And at the time he technically owned them. He does not own the Magic.

[goCeltics]

think magic got ripped by the nuggets, they should of gotten koufos or faried instead of harrington, that was the awful part of the trade its means that they trade howard, and end up trading one bad contract (richardson) for another (harrington).

That return is garbage. They didnt dump hedo? Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.?
