    Wow...just...wow. I hope the Magic are happy with their picks, which will be in the 20-30 range most likely.

    You not only take it from Howard, but you gladly let three other teams use you and keep on smiling.
    No potential amongst those players. None.

    Anyone have a link to that Orlando forum? Are they going f***ing nuts over there?

    I bet they will strike down upon Hennigan with great vengeance and furious anger if this trade goes down

    Two things that I find weird about this.

    1) How in the blue hell are these teams' offer better than the what the Rockets offer? 3 first-round picks from LAL-Denver-Philly and Afflalo plus scrub? Really?

    2) Why are Denver and Philly allowing the Lakers, THE LAKERS, to form another super team.

    They should.

    If the Lakers really don't give up Pau I'm going to be effing sick.

    as the trade is being discussed now - it would seem that it should get the same treatment as the other trade that was vetoed "for basketball reasons".

    For those that think Philly is just gonna get Bynum for Iggy, watch when the trade is announced. I bet Philly either gives up the most or takes back the worst contracts.

    FWIW "sources" never got to "calling league office" stage for any prior D12 deal. But we've entered a lot of uncharted territory before, too

    Guys, remember how many times last year a Carmela trade was imminent / being finalized only for the Nuggets to pull out at the last second? The Magic, up til now, fear other teams aren't taking their posturing / leverage creation seriously. When are scheduled trade calls to the league office ever leaked anyhow? Rarely is my guess. Seems like another ploy by the ORL front office.

    What does Denver even get out of making LA into a superteam?

    Sixers get J-Rich too, Magic possibly getting Moe Harkless as well.

    I guess Vucevic + Harkless + Afflalo + Harrington + 3 late first rounders beats our offer. Some Magic fans happy about it, at least.

    No one makes David Stern wake up early for no reason.

    Harkless AND Iggy for Bynum? Smells fishy
