Opening question: Chris Paul couldn't go to Lakers, but Dwight can?
Jeff talks about complications with team-owned Hornets.
Now talking about how futile the lockout seems since this
Suggesting possible injury faking on Dwight's part? Hyperbole for the possible unsavory nature of it.
Dwight gets JVG's brother fired and ends up with Kobe and Steve Nash? JVG says a big, resigned: "Yup!"
JVG says Orlando Magic fans have to be asking themselves "is it worth it?"
How can 2nd-tier teams keep guys?
But talks about OKC getting draft picks, draft right, gel, and retaining their players.
JVG feels for the Magic fans.
The 4th best center linked up with future Hall of Famers. Lakers just know how to get centers.
JVG is just cutting loose now that he's not under Stern's rule anymore.
And he's 100% on point about the lockout. What was the point of it again?

The Lockout did get Lin from Knicks to the rockets which gave Lin a ton of money and the rockets the abilty to gain a "Starphuch" attraction to its business.
Im not saying it was a good move for anyone but the extra tax now levied on teams if they go over gave the Rockets the leverage to go big and cockblock the knicks.
Is it fair? Its legal so it "Must be".
Bottom line is players rarely go free agent and are going in trade. Bynum and Dwight say they are going FA so we'll see if they actually make it. I think Dwight will be impressionable and resign with LA. I doubt he has the stones to continue the DwightMare. Bynum likely wanted max money and the reality is someone would have given it to him (Rockets/Mavs will have space) and I think Dwight is a better investment. IF they lose Dwight for nothing, its possible they feel they could have lost Bynum too so net-net (relax its a figure of speach, not subliminal message!)they are no worse for trying.
I'd rather hand the keys to the franchise to Dwight than Bynum.

mostly guys like Dwight and Bynum say that are going to be free agents cause they then will be able to extend for 5 years instead of just 4 during the year.
