So basically The Lakers, Sixers and Nuggets all got screwed in that trade last yr

[C-NICE]

Actually LA will win sooner than the magic Traded faulty knees bynum away got to rent a howard for a year and more than likely will have a decent draft pick in the 14 draft plus tons of cap room in a big year for free agency

Last year, when Vucci Mane was beastin...I was like

How did the Sixers not realize what they had sitting on the bench?

They got Harris and Harkless too

If they get the number 1 pick next year

 

[Street Knowledge]

I'm dying at vucci mane

 

[Danie84]

Watch the Magic win more games than the Lakeshow next season, though

 

[Reggie]

Philly lost bad though. At least Denver still has a quality team. And the Lakers have cap space next season and they are the Lakers so they will bounce back. But the Sixers lost a very good player in Vucevic never got a minute out of Bynum and ended up trading their point guard. After being seen as a young team to look out for who was just in the 2nd round of the playoffs last season they are a rebuilding squad that fast who may be in line for the number one pick next year.

 

[PortCityProphet]

It was a wash for LA. Ain't no telling what Bynum knees were gonna do.
Shoulda traded Dwight during the season tho.

 

[Mr swag]

I don't wanna add to the losses Philly already took in this trade but it can be argued that we also gave up Lou Will, and Elton Brand because of this trade also



Geez They should come up with a Philly Lost meme

LOL why u think Doug Collin got the fukk up out of there

 

[intruder]

I'm happy they all got screwed because this will teach GMs NOT to trade for players who have expressed the desire to play elsewhere.

They always used to use that extra year contract over a players head to hold them hostage. Dwight told them "fukk you and your money"

lets not act like the sixers were a legitimate 2nd round team.

they wouldn't have even made the playoffs that year if the bucks had traded for monte ellis a few weeks earlier. and they dam sure wouldn't have made it out the 1st round if derrick rose didn't get hurt.

they took the Celtics to the limit because they had their number all season long. it was one of those 2007 warriors/mavericks type cases, except the sixers couldn't win the series.

the 2012 sixers weren't all that much better than the 2013 sixers if you want to be real. i'd rather they tank, instead of staying in nba hell.

Teaches them what? At the time of this trade, when did Iggy say he wanted to play anywhere but Denver? AAA anywhere but Orlando? I think they all said they want to play and play for a winning team. Bynum and Dwight are the only ones who may have had a strong preference of where they wanted to play and not play. And who knows what Dwight is ever thinking with his flip-flopping ass. Teams roll the dice. Denver had an historic REGULAR season for their franchise but they got beat in the first round, again. Iggy should be credited in part for both of thise feats. The fact that Iggy didn't stay doesn't make it a complete failure. Denver front office aren't idiots for trying to get Iggy and to get him to stay. He just wanted to be elsewhere at the end of the day. Anyway, you win some, you lose some. There's some good and bad in all these trades.

I'll admit that it is kind of crazy how Orlando ended up as the only team who had their acquisition stay on for longer than a season.

But they were still a young solid team and you would think they would be able to add some talent to play with their core. Call them a legit second round team or not but they were there and exceeded expectations. I hope tanking works out for them because Philly is one of the flagship franchises in the league.

Doggie, You really think anyone cares about Andre Iguodala?
All due respect to the Iggy but the relevant pieces of that trade were Dwight and Bynum. And they were the only ones with enough star power to express their wishes that people would even notice.
Like you really think the Lakers or Heat gave a fukk about where Brian Grant wanted or didnt want to be when they packaged his ass in the deal for Shaq?

That's the problem with you clones. Y'all are so used to fighting meaningless battles just for the sake of fighting you lose sight of which casualties matter and which are just collateral

Meanwhile Iggy and Vucci Mane helped their teams more than those other guys last season. Get real little nikka. Miami doesn't win a ship without Battier last year and Ray Allen this year. Every piece matters little nikka.





And you're riding for Dwight? Dwight my nikka?

the sixers didn't exceed expectations tho. they just got lucky. lets be real.

that squad wasn't gonna do anything but be a team that finished anywhere between 7th or 10th place for the next five years. they knowingly rolled the dice on Bynum and had nothing to lose, as I said around this time last year when they made the Bynum trade.

and yes, the sixers are indeed a flagship franchise, which is why its not a good look for them to be stuck in nba hell for the past 10 years.

with that said, I kinda felt like they tried to tank when they traded Iverson but didn't realize how dope andre miller was. and I think they tried to tank when they let andre miller walk for nothing in return - iirc.

When they made that Bynum trade they were planning on being a contender and him suiting up for them probably would have changed this whole outcome. The Sixers weren't thinking rebuilding at this time last year.
