    -Another Epic move by Mitch. He gets the best center in the league for Bynum + a protected first round pick.
    -
    -Denver gets an allstar for two role players and a pick.
    -
    -Philly gets the second best center in the league, who's not even in his prime. They have gone as far as they could with Iggy. Bynum gives them that low post presence they have been lacking.

    -
    - I have no idea what they're doing.

    Philadelphia:A-
    Denver: B
    Lakers: A+
    Orlando: F+

    Philly did a fantastic job, were talking the best offensive center in the league, maturity issues or not he is a guy who could get like 23/12 on that team. Don't forget that they got J-Rich out of this who can still get about 12-15PPG. They gave up Iggy who they were looking to move and Harkless who never really would of played much anyway in that situation. I would say losing Vucenic is a bit bad but to be honest, Moultrie can cover for that loss and Hawes is there also.

    I am happy for the Nuggets, i really am, it is a good deal but Harrington contributed big time off the bench so losing him is a blow. Even if you are upgrading from Afflalo to Iggy, still the Nuggets come out of this better overall anyway

    Well duh, we got the best center in the league. also a young stud S.F who can play D and has the athletic ability and size. the only thing i don't like is the fact that we have to take on Duhon who is about as bad as Blake as it stands now. 10 mill per between two of the biggest scrubs in the league, damn. but obviously we have to give OKC a run for their money

    This is just plain retarded, the nets and the rockets would of offered more. Why would you take on Harrington when his deal is worse than J-Rich's and Afflalo is a decent S.G, he isn't going to get you 20PPG though (well maybe he might since Orlando are now that shit) Harkless i guess is good but think about it, they could of gotten Pat Pat, Jeremy Lamb, Royce White, Terrence Jones and like 3 picks, two would probably be lottery. and they would of taken at least Duhon and Hedo. Hennigan should get fired immediately for this

    Lakers: A+
    Nuggets: B+
    Philly: B
    Orlando: Did not Pass

    Lakers only lose Bynum for Dwight. Even kept Gasol

    Nuggets get Iggy for not much.

    Philly were stagnant and by getting Bynum, they get their centerpiece player which they lacked, can let Evan Turner start now, and mixed things up a little to hopefully improve from an 8th seed.

    Magic couldn't even unload Hedo Turkaglu on anyone and changed one bad contract for another. What a fail. The draft picks were medicore too. The thing is, a direct Bynum for Howard swap would've been MUCH better than what happened here... Which makes me wanna ask, what the hell DID happen to make this happen??
