as the pressure will be off him to score at the end of games since he has Kobe and others to handle that-He was an offensive liability for the Magic at the end of close contests due to his wretched free throw shooting-He'll help the Lakers and can concentrate on his forte, which is clogging up the middle, rebounding and defense-Bynum was apparently becoming a cancer in the locker room and sending him on his way was likely a good thing-later, Buddy   1rob...out

as a magic fan, im glad to see him go, and glad that we took a trade that will somewhat allow us to rebuild, not just be a middle of the road team each year. we should be AWFUL this year, and get a top 3 pick, followed by another top 8 or so pick. do things the OKC way, not the celtics way ( the original go all out to win move, before the heat).

about the lakers though. what is the window? 2 years? kobe is getting old, nash has been old. gasol isnt young anymore. in 4 years, when dwight is the only one left, how is that team looking? right now i would take a team of james, wade, bosh, allen, chalmers, haslem, lewis and miller over howard, gasol, bryant, artest, nash and jamison. im not thinking LA gets a title with this core. reminds me too much of when they brought in malone and payton and LOST.
