can the Lakers acquire all the es in the NBA?
Thank god football is about to start, NBA is a joke.
Ripple effects- yet another lockout at the end of this CBA. The league cannot sustain itself if only 2 or 3 teams - the ones with large media markets, great weather, and high lifestyle cities (Miami, LAC (maybe), LAL) can be serious contenders due to players forcing movement to those cities.
Watch carefully what happens with OKC in the next couple of years. Unless a top tier FA (and who's left) tries to force their way there, they will hemorrhage talent to the magnet locations...
Note that 2 of the 3 criteria aren't enough - see what has happened to NYK and BKN.
The only thing that will stop this is if LAL fail (due to chemistry or age-related injuries - consider the mileage on Kobe, Nash, and to a lesser extent Gasol).
In the shorter term for the Spurs, maybe they have to consider blowing it up and going for a full rebuild. They cannot compete with the talent-hubs that are building, they simply aren't attractive enough.
Having resigned TD, it may be too late for that, they are stuck the course for the next 2 or 3 years. They can at least compete with LAL at PG/SG/SF with their current rotation. But matching the Frontcourt means either making TD and Splitter work together, or a miracle. Furthermore, the TD-splitter pairing is going to be quite difficult against OKC and Miami due to their ability to more mobile at the PF spots. The only potential miracle that I see at this point is get Blatche and pray that he actually gets his together. A together Blatche is mobile enough to be practical against an OKC/Miami matchup, and theoretically make Pau at least work for it .
Orlando is stupid.....horrible trade
it... the league should just condense into a few teams if this is going to keep happening.
The NBA is set up to screw the little market until the big name player from the small market leaves for a bigger market.....BULL !
to the greatest franchise in sports
it's gonna be so awesome when they collapse and fail.
Well, look on the bright side. At least my favorite 2K team is now more ridiculously stacked than ever.
Why did they take that garbage instead of s?
called it... Dwight had Lakers written all over him...
Seriously why even give a and have a league anymore? Might as well just have LA, Chicago, Miami, New York, and Boston in the league and that's it...
When's the next lockout?
The only decent thing in that trade WOULD have been the 3 first round picks, but since Philly is getting Bynum and Denver is getting Iggy, all 3 of them are surely going to be useless late round picks
Oh why not, they are gifted another piece and give up basically Bynum for a DPOY and ALL Star C. I hope they fall flat on their damn faces next year.
Hennigan is a dumb ass, Nets deal was much better then this.
What Magic could get from Nets is better.
The brain of Magic's manager is full of
That is the saddest part of all this, because the Nets deal was and it still beat out what ORL got
