I'm terrified for him and I don't even like the Bulls. If he comes back and re-injures, his career is over as an elite player. A Penny, Grant Hill, etc career beckons.

Yeah his competitive nature could easily be his downfall. It's up to the ownership to keep him at bay and not let him rush anything. Don't think they'll do that though...

Haha, omg...

Woeful deal for the Magic.

Adamc · 10-08-2012, 05:04 AM

**** that, hate playing the Lakers on 2k12 as it is.

dontcloseyoureyes · 10-08-2012, 05:17 AM

Don't get me started on this, I'm still livid nearly 10 hours later. Everyone at the Magic should be sacked. The worst trade of the last decade by far.

I don't get why Denver gave so much though for Iggy.

Total waste of Dwightmare :sad: . On the flip side the Sixers and Nuggets in themselves some good assets.

Afflalo was really poor last season, stopped playing defence once he was paid. Harrington is a 30 year old jump shooting power forward who doesn't shoot. They arguably upgraded their wing spot with a proven defender with size and experience, rid themselves fo Afflalo and Harringtons money ($45mill) and replaced it with Iggy's ($30mill). Great deal IMO.

I guess I was stuck thinking that Afflalo was still a great defensive option. Shows how much I watched them last season.

Should be interesting to see how Kobe plays with Nash and Dwight there.

Even if he was a good defensive option, Iggy is better, defensively and offensively, so I'm not sure what you were getting at.

First the Gasol trade and now this. Why do the basketball Gods love the Lakers so much?

yeah that was the weirdest part of this deal for me...but the lakers now have a legit shot at the title provided howard's back holds up...

That I didn't think Iggy was a big enough upgrade to justify giving up Afflalo, Harrington and two 1st rounders. But I guess if you take AA's lack of commitment and money saved into account it's a decent deal.
