it's pretty common for that to happen in staples. Lakers have some of the worst fans there.
Ooooh. A 12 and 10 player. I'm ing terrified. No way Orlando does a deal because LA CANNOT sign him outright.

It wasn't meant to scare you. He certainly put fear into TD though. They will dump the salary to make it happen. And it wouldn't stop Orlando from making the trade, they could care less about LA's financial restraints. They would rather get something for their star player rather than watching him walk away for nothing in the offseason.

Wow, first time for me for it to at least that blatant and loud on that stage, even though realistically it's still only the 2nd round. Wow.
Lakers can easily compete for the next couple of years. D. Howard is on his way. Plug in a serviceable pg and they stacked.
IF HOWARD IS THERE we are all fu*cked, probably gonna happen too knowing their damn luck in LA!
LA will 'rebuild' in the offseason with some fishy trade... Blake/Barnes and the rights to Bynum's little brother for D. Howard.... if there's a market the NBA can't let hang loose for long is LA.
Magic GM already said they'd rather let Dwight walk than ship him midseason.....not saying that can't change, but from the sound of things look like they're going to opt to make another run with him, do what they can to shed weight on the roster and go for it rather than blow things up.
Don't know if I would be necessarily happy when you think about the fact that this could've been a golden opportunity for the Spurs to advance to the Finals. Popovich must be sick to his stomach now.
They will have to trade Bynum for him but yeah everybody will be ed. He is almost certainly going to end up in LA because the Magic could not deny that kind of return in Bynum.
Why when it's his own damn fault? This is like 07 reversed as someone said! Dallas out in round one after that record and Spurs win a le, now Dallas is going the same route as of now. I hate it yes, but it's true.LOL sarcasm at it's best, love that there. I feel you man.
That would be incredibly ballsy. Orlando would be essentially playing Russian Roulette with the franchise. If they gut the roster to resign Howard, they won't be compe ive. Howard also said he wants to play for a winner and I can't see him winning in Orlando anytime soon. Bynum wouldn't be blowing things up IMO. If he can stay healthy, he can be a an impact player for years to come.
Or Boston
I used to think the Spurs FO was great but they have ed up big time for years. A few glimmers of greatness like Neal,Hill,Splitter and a bunch of like Rj,Bonner,Scola,not playing Splitter, not getting defensive size,playing blair,etc...
If we had defense we could have beat Memphis,Thunder, and the Mavs. Spurs ed Tim Duncan huge at the end of his career. Now the organization is pretty much handcuffed by Rj and his contract.
Boston couldn't give up anything better than Bynum. Boston only has old players.
Bynum's health is always an "if" and he will likely have knee problems for the remainder of his career which a tricky thing to try and build your franchise around, especially in trying to replace a guy like Dwight. Otis has made some risky decisions in the past so I wouldn't put it passed him to take a leap of faith on Howard and try to reshape the roster as best he can on-the-fly to make them compe ive enough to keep them in the running. The east also looks to be opening up which in and of itslef is a selling point, just depends on what other name they can bring in, even if it's swapping bad contracts and gambling on someone no one else wants with upside or making moves with a team on the verge of a rebuild.
If Orlando holds onto them past the deadline, Boston will snag him in the offseason.
they are going to have a ton of cap space. Never thought about it but this might happen if Magic try to hold on to him.
Meanwhile the Spurs are going to be crumbling.
They are? How? They'll have basically the same team but one year older.
An older Kobe.
An older Artest.
An older Fisher.
Yikes!
However, if you respond with simply: "They don't have Bonner and Jefferson." Then, checkmate sir.
This actually makes me feel worse about losing to the ing Grizzlies.
All they need is a Pg and maybe some role players. The Lakers still have a ton of talent.
Nj gets butt ed by Deron Williams who opts to take the mle and play in LA.
Bynum traded for Dwight Howard by 2012 trade deadline
Instant rebuild.
i wish spur fans booed the spurs. it might have woken them up. instead, they just lumbered throughout the series and committed the dumbest turnovers.
Role players? They have most of that bench signed for the next couple of years.
Blake signed for four seasons.
