Just traded Bynum and a future first for D12 according to Marc Stein....

This my friends, is what Lakers fans like to call Mitch waving his magic wand....

I don't understand. The Magic have to be getting more back than what's being reported.

Afflalo has 3 years 23 mil and a PO year left on his contract, Harrington has 3 years 22 mil, and Vucevic is not that good. Yeah they're getting 3 first round picks and Moe Harkless but unless they can keep rolling those picks over they're not going to be very good anytime soon.

With all the previously rumored deals, this doesn't make any sense from the Magic's perspective. LA, Philly and Denver are getting great deals here and Orlando is getting 2 bad contracts and a few picks.

[C47]

The rumored deals obviously weren't real proposed deals, or Hennigan waited way to long to pull the trigger. My bet is the rookie GM make a rookie mistake. OH and Harrington isn't exactly a bad contract, it's only partially guaranteed after this year....

SMH, everyone gets better except the Magic lol.

Bobcats>Magic

Blame their GM, he didn't have to make a deal. Or he could have been halfway sane and got the second best center for the best center....

Chris Paul is happy in L.A., though he wouldn't mind being in the other locker room I'm sure...

Sorry LBJ....

Didn't the Magic GM come from San Antonio? Aren't they all supposed to be geniuses with great basketball minds? Smh, this guy was the dummy of the group. He just got hosed. Had a better offer from the Nets, and decides to take the crap offered to him by the Lakers. Didn't even get Bynun out of the deal smh. Every team in this deal just made a come up except Orlando.

[C47]

No offer that includes Lopez on a max deal is a better offer. That offer was poo to, this is just better poo since they got two good young prospects in Vucevic and Harkless, and a younger (27) guy who can actually ball in AA. Harrington isn't terrible because his contract is only partially guaranteed. Plus it seems like Hedo may have been absorbed into Denver's TPE so their worst contract is gone along with Duhon and Earl Clark heading to L.A. according to Spears....
