    The more I think about this, the more fucked this whole trade is. Orlando had better offers on the table over the last few months from Brooklyn and Houston. This just doesn't add up.


    They screwed themselves...and Howard is a baby

    both parties have their reputations soiled. Orlando cant keep any superstars there.And they have a new arena that will probably be half empty next year.

    Howard really is a weirdo..the way he changed his mind, he probably reads at a 3rd grade level if at all. All these dudes who skipped college...it really shows

    This ^

    When he said some shit about how he was essentially hoodwinked and lied to about his contract and all this shit just shows how fucking dumb he is - luckily, he was born with freakish attributes that allow him to dunk a basketball without barely jumping for a bazillion dollars a year.

    Imagine how many of these freaks would be in the circus if it wasn't for basketball....

    BK offerred Brook Lopez, Marshon Brooks, Hump and 3 first rounders! Seemed like the best offer to me.

    Yep, doesn't add up. Wasn't it 4 first rounders??? Either way, those 1st rounders were unprotected.....the 3 first round picks they got are protected and will most likely be late round picks.

    Yep, not the brightest guy out there. But this is what happens with guys like this....growing up, everyone kisses their ass and treats them like royalty. That's why most of these phenoms like this are entitled douchebags who get everything they want. It's fucked up.

    ok so the lakers now have exactly 2 great players 2 awesome players, and 3 other guys...plus Kobe on weary Olympic legs. I'm not buying that this gets them into the Finals over San Antonio and/or OKC, let alone beating:
    LeBron
    Bosh
    Wade
    Chalmers
    Anthony
    Battier
    Haslem
    Allen
    Jones
    Cole

    That team has 18 fouls to hammer Howard with, 4 guys that Nash will have to pretend to guard, 1 guy that will shutdown old Kobe, and options if someone is having a tough day. For LAL everything has to go right and no one can get injured. I don't see it happening unless this Barbosa thing is for real. If it is can we rename the thread the National Basketball Entertainment Association so that we can just come to terms with the fact that it's rigged for the best storylines?

    Has ANY player been more fortunate than Kobe to play with GREAT players - arguably 2 of the best Centers EVER in Shaq & now Dwight Howard?
    Lakers just got nasty good - Nash is loving this decision!
    The upcoming OKC / LAL playoffs might be the best since those PHX/SA ones of the past...

    Had Kobe's ego dwindled along with his athleticism over the years, this LA team would be awesome. As it is, I see Kobe punching Nash and taking the ball from him.

    Not following, 81 - that linked to a sport fraud sort of link...
    Fins, Mets, Knicks, Rangers & Gonzaga baby - all for over 30 yrs
    No fraud here
    I can't believe how lucky Kobe is to play w/ great centers in his career - that makes me a fraud?

    [/quote]trying to figure out how you are a 3 team NY fan with the Fish tossed in......[/quote]

    Born in Miami in 72, Dad was a diehard Fin fan - came home in a jake scott (#13) jersey
    mom and dad divorced when I was 6, lived in NY (long island) until I was 16 -
    grew up a Mets/Knicks/Rangers fan from hanging w/ all my cousins and uncles on the island
    Loved Marino @ Pitt (1st college game I saw in real life was Pitt v Rutgers) - my cousins who were ball breakers were Jets fans, couldn't root for them - always a Fin fan
    Due to Dad's loyalty and love of Phins, Marino going there and their cool uni's I was hooked for life!
    Always wished Stockton could play with Ewing - Dan Dickau and Mark Few solidified my love of Zags (Washington team - don't faint 81)
    To this day Marino, Ewing, Gooden, Strawberry, Richter, Leech, Tyson - all personal heroes of my youth
    :lol:
    Simple as that. (You were trying to figure it out, right?)
    Hopefully that helped.
