No idea who would be the backup center.

That situation doesn't sound so ideal to me. Our defense would incredibly suffer, even with the best defensive player in the league.

Gotta say, I'm not sure I do this if I'm the Lakers. OKC would still be the better team.

Jarrod Rudolph: Sources: Magic and Lakers are discussing the reported 4 team deal. But nothing is imminent as they are discussing other potential deals. now

Alex Kennedy: Source confirms that ORL, LAL, PHI and DEN have discussed four-team deal. However, source warns it's "one of several deals being discussed."

More than one trade is discussion. So yeah...

[ncrizzle]

Is anyone else praying LA makes this dumb trade?

[BlackVVaves]

Bad trade for LA, bad trade for Magic, production wise Al/Affalo = Iggy for Denver. Actually, Al and Affalo give you more combined when comparing offensive production to Iggy.

And Philly makes out like bandits

If I'm the 6ers, I make sure I'm making phone calls and get this deal done ASAP.

If I'm the Lakers or Magic, I'm hanging up and getting back to the Houston/Cleveland two step.

How about the Magic's side. Assuming Philly and Denver each take back a contract, they could dangle Gasol to Houston until Daryl Morey begs for a trade. Then they get some picks and rooks.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

Cleveland and Houston are going all-in.
This is going to be interesting.

[Burgz V2]

they are reporting that it's one of many possible deals

how is this different than two weeks ago? two months ago? Orlando seems willing to let dwight walk unless they get the right deal

they shouldve sent him to Houston if they were worried about what they get in return. Stupid owner doesn't want to be a basement dweller but your roster is full of trash players you used to build a team around dwight. The best way to rebuild would be to package him to Hou in my honest opinion

right now the reports are more concerned with what the Lakers will be getting rather than the Magic but the Magic are clearly in the driver's seat right now...aren't they???

if they get screwed I will be laughing my ass off at the Magic, the Buss family and their jedi mind tricks, "this IS the trade you are looking for"

[OG LeeTSkeeT]

horrible ****ing deal.

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

So Philly gets Bynum for Iggy??? GTFO

All of a sudden Magic wants pau?

Lakers need to get back more
