Lakers land Paul for Bynum/Odom..

[wolverine304]

Orlando would have been fine if they weren't fuck tards. Like paying vince carter, hedo, and arenas way too much money. Don't be a dumbass and you'd have enough money for a chris paul. And howard would want to stay.


Instead almost every player has a contract so bad that they can't even trade the players.

This is true. Hedo is probably the most overrated player in the league..or at least he was.

You obviously are missing the point. Its the same thing that went on in Cleveland with LeBron. The Cavs were forced to make moves to bring in players to "keep" LeBron there. Orlando trying the same thing, problem lies that the only players they can acquire are those that come with baggage. Chris Paul was never going to Orlando, never, ever, ever. He can make triple his money going to a big market. The deal was that Paul and Howard would both go to New York.

The system is broke if your a small market team like Orlando, Cleveland, Detroit, etc.

Sure, you can tank and grab the next star. Your team is so bad that the first two years are just rebuilding on the fly. Then that third year comes and your team is forced to try to make that star stay by surrounding him with a great team. However being a small market team means you wont be trading for Chris Paul or Howard or another star you will trade for Hedo, Carter, Odom, and other past their prime overpaid players. Then in the end the Star leverages your team to trade him before he leaves in free agency the next year. And to top it off you don't even get great value in return.

However, if your Boston, New York, LA, Miami, Chicago. You can simply acquire talent like normal, then trade for a star player while giving up scrubs. Get other players to play for you for half the price and field a championship team every year.

Orlando could afford another super star. If they didn't have a ton of overpaid players.

 

[tigers99888]

I think Stern stepping in on this trade is a joke.. Only thing it really saves is the Rockets... The Hornets atleast got Martin and Scola... The Lakers might actually be worse from this..

 

[wolverine304]

I could see this ending up bad for the lakers. Kobe isn't going to be kobe much longer.

If that stupid TV show was a distraction Odoms while he was right in LA where they film it...imagine what it's going to be like with him constantly running back to LA from Dallas to be on it...

Of course...maybe he'll just forget about the show, now that he's elsewhere...
