Rockstar Matt Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 LOL at Orlando. Absolutely fleeced by both the Lakers and Sixers.I can't believe Orlando didn't even take Bynum or Gasol! At this point, it seems like they're trying so hard to be bad. Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Who the hell is Moe Harkless? a utility infielder for the St. Louis Browns? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnhrvy16 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Who the hell is Moe Harkless? a utility infielder for the St. Louis Browns?HA! Oh man, it really does sound like a 40's Major Leaguer name. Poor fellow.Anyways, man did Orlando lose out on this one. I was sure if this went down, they'd get Bynum or Pau. Unbelievable. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Bynum in the East sounds pretty awesome, actually. The rest of America will get to watch him punch suckers in the face in Eastern Standard Time. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy B Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I think the Sixers came out of nowhere to be in this trade and end up the biggest winners along with the Lakers. I can't believe the Magic let this happen without getting Bynum back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Bunky Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 So the Lakers are basically giving up Bynum and a first (which they never keep) for Howard? Pretty good for them.What is a "protected" first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njmeadowlanders Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Well it's a good thing they had a lockout so that the stars don't dictate where they play and get to hold teams hostage.Wait what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 It means the acquiring team can't use the pick if it's top 14, top 10, so forth.If the pick ends up in the top 10 or whatever, do they get the next year's pick instead?Maybe. The conditions vary. The Bulls got a pick from the Bobcats that goes through decreasing tiers of protection from 2011-2015 before ultimately becoming unprotected in 2016:How is the pick "protected"?RealGM is consistent with the rhetoric used to describe the conditions under which the Bulls would acquire ownership of Charlotte's first round pick, stating it's "top-12 protected in the 2013 Draft, top-10 protected in 2014, top-8 protected in 2015 and unprotected in the 2016 Draft."This means the rights only transfer from Charlotte to Chicago before 2016 if: (a.) Charlotte lands lower than #12 in the 2013 Draft Lottery; (b.) Charlotte lands lower than #10 in the 2014 Lottery; or © Charlotte lands lower than #8 in the 2015 Lottery.Can the Bulls turn down the pick to wait gamble on getting a higher pick in one of the following years?No. Whichever of those options occur first places ownership of the pick in the Bulls' hands.If the Bobcats were to barely make or miss the playoffs in 2013 and land a pick lower than #12, the Bulls can't wait on something like the 11th pick in 2014 or the 9th in 2015 or something higher in 2016. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
