Irving, Waiters, Gee, Hedo, TT, Zeller, and Bynum. Plus a 2013 lottery pick. This will make us a contender and speed up the rebuilding progress. And I love it that Bynum would resign with us.

Lol how could I forget? And Samuels has really improved through the offseason.

I'd love to trade up to get one. Would be the finishing touch. Heck, I'd trade our whole 2013 draft for a chance to snag Shabazz.

I've been checking out RCF the past few days regarding these Bynum rumors. Some of those guys are knowledgeable, but seems a lot of them are clueless. Think Bynum is overrated, the Magic are an organization that is ran good, etc

If the trade happens your whole 2013 draft would be a mod/late 1st and 2nd not good enough for a lottery pick

Bynum is supposed to go to Germany in September to get the "magic" knee treatment Kobe got.

I personally think Orlando would need to get very desperate for this to go down.

aren't they kinda desperate now? I mean, Dwight isn't resigning with them, so they need to trade em. People know they need to trade, thus aren't giving them FMV for someone of his caliber... it's like a firesale. Everything Howard must go, and they're trying to get what they can.

So why wouldn't Orlando want Bynum?

Because he's already stated he wouldn't re-sign with them.

He wouldn't resign with them. So they would basically be in the same spot they were in last year

Howard and Bynum both have a short list of teams they would sign with. That's only going to make this tougher on Orlando. They need to jump on a deal soon

Bynum isn't going to Orlando.

Orlando is the only team in these trade talks that has to make a move. Howard has put them in a tough spot.

Seems like bynums agent is trying to gain leverage I wouldn't look into it too much.

yeah, I agree.

Everything I hear is that he loves both Kyrie and Byron Scott. Agents are fucking tools
