Dwight Howard traded to the Lakers

[Argath]

You think Shane Battier,Mike Miller(when he gets hot), Udonis Haslem,and Norris Cole are worse then what the Thunder or Pacers had?

uhhh yea?

Thunder depth and role players >>>>>>>>>>>> Heat depth and role players

Its not even close, imo. The reason the Thunder lost was because one of their stars didn't perform up to expectations.

Well that and they sucked ass in the half court set.

Yea because the past nba champion had a ton of depth. Depth doesn't mean much when your starter can play 35 to 40 minutes a night


Again explain to me how philly has a team that will make it a 2 or 3 seed? You just admitted your leading scorer is gone and iggy may haven't been stellar at the line but he was a force that will be hard to replace. You upgraded at center and no where else. Phillys record will be better solely because the east is weaker. No way jrue is gonna be able to compete with Deron Williams and as I said before bynum has a lot to prove. Nick young, while a talented scorer, is the most inconsistent player in the nba as philly fans will soon learn. Hes also a huge liability in defense

We didn't just upgrade the center position we brought in a man who averages 19 pts and 12 boards. We brought in Jason Richardson at the 2 guard spot who is a better shotter than Iggy and a better free throw shooter. We also got Nick Young who has all sorts of potential and is longer (6-7")than the guy he's replacing Lou Williams who was only 6-1".

We also brought in Dorell Wright who is a 6-9" forward that has gone under the radar. This guy is a quality player who can shoot the 3 similar to Paul Geogre of Indiana. Not to mention that our players (Holiday, Turner, Hawes, Young, Allen)will be another year older and more mature.

How many NBA teams have a player large enough to SEAL THE PAINT? The 76ers have 2 guys!! Bynum and Brown at 285 lbs each.....Do you know how huge that is? Why do you think Kendrick Perkins has a job right now on one good leg?

Interesting that it seems like the Nuggets are probably going to just stick Iggy in at the 2 and carry on, I wonder how much he'll really make them better over Afflalo and the bench scoring of Harrington.

Rotoworld

Christian Eyenga was traded from the Lakers to the Magic in the four-team Dwight Howard deal.

Eyenga will be a part of a massive rebuilding project in Orlando, but he's highly unlikely to accrue a serious role despite changing teams. He's safely off the fantasy radar as he'll be stuck behind Hedo Turkoglu, Moe Harkless and Quentin Richardson on the small forward depth chart.

Updating a previous item, Josh McRoberts was traded to the Magic as part of the Dwight Howard to Lakers deal.

Hoopsworld had previously speculated that the Nuggets would take on McBob's expiring contract, but he'll instead head to Orlando, where he'll offer no fantasy value and serve as an insurance policy. He was likely just included in the deal in order to make the finances work.

along with lack of Championship experience team wide etc.

 

[FedEx227]

And the Heat outside of Wade did?

It's not hard people.

Heat's starts did better than the Thunder's stars. LeBron played better than Durant. It's quite simple lol.

dude, the Sixers will be nothing more than like the Atlanta's and the Denvers of the league. Really good at times but so what. LOL even if they made the finals, they would lose to who ever came from the West any way.

...that said, I honestly believe the Sixers will get there at some point. They are part of that 4 to 6 team rotation in the East that does make the finals every now and again.

 

[JimLeavy59]

So how has Evan Turner developed? I haven't had a chance to watch the guy play.

He's extremely consistent at being inconsistent.

 

[ram29jackson]

True why even have a bench just play your starters the whole game all season which is 82 games and play them all playoffs long until the finals and then play them all throughout the Finals they won't get tired or hurt or anything.

The Bucks have had nothing but role players for years LOL


LOL dont get me wrong dude, I've been waiting for the Bucks to get good for years. Theyve been my dark horse favorite forever. My dads family comes from Wisconsin and I like all Wisc teams.

But theyve been cursed since Jabbar Alcindor left :yep:

why the Hell doesnt Milwaukee have a hockey team?

We don't have an arena that is suitable for a NHL team.

Gotta love how my 76ers are getting no pub and they got the 1st or 2nd best center in the league and a nice SG in Jason Richardson..........I fully expect us to compete to get to the finals next year. Mark my word....

I was thinking something similar, as long as Bynum's bitchassness doesn't show it's head. Philly fans will eat his ass up for that, and this kid show know that being from NJ. It was sad to see they had to let Mo Harkless go, but if Ev Turner and Thad Young step it up, they should make a run to the East Finals. I still don't know how they match-up with the Heatles though.

 

[whuteva]

That what defines NBA championship teams, depth.

Who was the Heat's second unit?

So . . . . Deron Williams, Joe old ass Johnson and Wallace = LeBron, D-Wade and Bosh??? Every other team needs their bench, hell even the Heat did in the Finals.

 

[JimLeavy59]

The Heat will have to play the 76ers in the Eastern Conference Finals I think the 76ers are a lock for the 2nd seed.

Yeah, I was anxious to see what Harkless had myself. We'll one thing I do know is that you won't beat the Heat on the perimeter, but you can beat them inside and that now is our strength. In addition, the Heat will dismantle in a few years and the 76ers would still be young enough to take over the East at that time provided we can keep Bynum.

thats why you build one of course. Its Wisc , its hockey. It makes sense

We just built the Bradley Center 20-30 years ago or at least thats the excuse given on why we can't build another one.
