Bynum better than Dwight Howard?

Howard has killed the Magic. All the guy does is bitch and moan that they're not doing enough to get Dwight his rings. They've done everything possible for him and it's killed their chances at any future. I've been a fan of his but this recent rush of LeBron Syndrome has him in my KMA department.

Good luck finding a contender that can afford you, Dwight.

If by everything you mean sign Rashard Lewis to one of the worst contracts ever and then prolong that sinking of a ship by trading for Gilbert Arenas, then yes, they did everything.

I don't blame him.

But he does need to seriously shut the **** up.

Ah yes, they should've listened to his trade ideas more, like he himself suggested. Then they would've won everything.

That's why all NBA teams have people with high school diplomas as GMs.
 
Dwight Howard might be the most powerful puss* the league has ever seen.

*Effeminate weakling
 
He did put that sticker really high on the backboard during the dunk contest.
Remember that guys?

So you're saying these two moves were the wisest decisions?

What I'm saying is they've done a helluva lot in worry that they won't please Dwight enough to keep him around. That's why they went after Lewis in the first place. Stupid move? In hindsight of course. They should have told Howard to shut the hell up and be patient. The best players generally wait a while and don't win as many as Jordan.

Shaq says he should stay and Bynum is better. I'll chalk that up to Shaq regretting being the pussycat Dwight is about to become. I do think Bynum has the potential to be as good as Howard though just because of his outrageous size.
 
What bothers me is that superstars put their GMs under such pressure that if they cannot get a great deal, they must get some kind of a deal done in order to at least placate their star. You can't just wait, as then the player will say "The team isn't doing anything to get me some help." All of this, of course, fails to take into account that an eager buyer rarely gets a good deal, that good players aren't available exactly when you want them and that due to the current CBA, putting a team together is careful, tricky business.

Then you have a situation where the Cavs are trying desperately to get a team around LeBron and since they cannot get Amar'e or a good young center, they have to sign Shaq and Jamison. Are they great deals? No. Would LeBron have been even angrier had they just gotten nobody? Hell yes.

I don't have a problem holding GMs accountable for what they do, but let's be realistic. How often does a player say "Oh, it's cool. I can give you guys a couple of years to shed some contracts and amass picks so we can actually build a team around me." No, it's always "Get me help now or I'm leaving."

And as a final little tidbit, the Lakers pulled that Steal-of-the-decade-deal for Gasol some 3 years after Shaq left and the team was blown up. They didn't just pull it out of the hat the week after that Shaq trade.
