The drama queen is gone. Can't wait till the implosion of the Lakers. I read this article where Kobe and Dwight talked on the phone sometime last year talking about what a offense would look like with them on the same team. Kobe had one image and Dwight had another. Needless to say they weren't on the same page at all and pretty much why the Lakers (specifically Bryant) stopped with the trade inquiries.


I still think they had a better deal on the table with the Nets. Brook Lopez and 3 first rounders.[/quote]

So the Lakers didn't have to give up Gasol? Wow.

[quote=SmootSmack;930080]Yeah I think for this trade I heard if the picks are in the top 15 the original team keeps them. So the Magic won't get any first round picks between 1-15, which just adds to the confusion over why they made this trade[/quote]

Wow. That's a pretty weak deal for the Magic then. Especially considering the Lakers didn't give up Gasol.

[quote=Ruhskins;930091]So the Lakers didn't have to give up Gasol? Wow.[/quote]

Nope. So now they have Gasol, Bryant, Howard, AND Nash on that team. Granted, that's a old team (minus Howard), but it's still a lot of talent.

Third time saying it, but god damn the Magic were stupid for not taking that Brook Lopez deal over this.

Kings to Va. Beach?

Yeah, Sacramento just can't keep an NBA team.

I wonder if they'd bring the Kings name with them. They've moved with it before from Kansas City. They were the Buffalo Braves before that. This team just can't find a home. I'd like to see the NBA do a retraction and eliminate the Kings, Bobcats, Raptors and Hornets. They're all failures on the court and financially too. The NBA expanded too far to stay profitable and put out a quality product in all cities.



If they Kings do bring their name to VA Beach, I'd hope they'd go back to the light blue and red color scheme of the past...it would fit perfectly for VA Beach. Light blue and orange would be even better. The Purple and Black scheme looks like a clone of the LA Kings hockey team, they need to leave that in California.

Virginia Beach Kings would sound great. :D

VA Beach Braves would be cool too...if they adopted the Redskins color scheme.

Re: Wizards/NBA Offseason
 

I just can't see it happening. For one thing, this talk about Comcast getting ownership and broadcasting their games? Where? Comcast Washington probably wouldn't carry the games and they don't have a regional network in Virginia Beach/North Carolina that I know of.

Also, I'm not sure Leonsis and Jordan would like a team in that market.

They should just go back to KC and the Sprint Center, or better yet figure out a way to stay in Sacramento

Re: Wizards/NBA Offseason
 

They're gonna end up in Seattle, thats my feeling
