this trade will go down as the worst trade of all time for the magic.

Rob Babcock ( the then GM of the toronto raptors who trade VC for a bag chips) is probably out there somewhere and celebrating because now he knows he won't have to be known as the worst GM of all time.

How could a GM fukk a team that bad?

it only looks bad to y'all because they didn't land some young superstar as if that was gonna happen. It's 2012. Deals like that don't really happen anymore. All you get are picks and parts. You just hope your scouts put in overtime. That's what Hennigan is banking on. He shoulda kept Nicholson but other than that, he shed some bad deals, got some young talent, and got a shyt ton of picks all while knowing ORL will be so bad the NBA would HAVE to give them Noel or Shabazz in 2013.

They're rebuilding. Don't jump the gun and call this the worst trade ever when we don't even know how Hennigan will mold this team.

Come on man..

No way you spin this, the trade is one of the worst in sports history.

Deals like this make me think that teams do under the table deals (money) to complete trades.

I wouldnt be surprised if LA gave Orlando like 30 million to complete the deal.

People said the same shyt about the package NO got for CP3 last year.

Orlando's not competing next season and they're not pretending to. The latter is what makes everyone think this deal is awful. This deal will only be as good as the next franchise player they get with their high ass lotto pick. If it gets them Noel, Shabazz or even Wiggins or Jabari Parker, can we really call this a bad deal long term?

NO got Eric Gordon... a Max Contract Player (atleast in today's nba)

Orlando got Aaron Afflalo :scusthov:

Gordon is a young player with great potential. Afflalo is older the Dwight. He is very good, but not a star player.

NO got a player that nobody thought they'd wind up keeping. The talk was this.

Eric Gordon don't wanna be there he'll be gone.

That pick won't even be that good.

At least Pau, Odom, Scola and Dragic keeps them competitive.

After everything that's happened since, NO is doing just fine. In a year after the lotto is rigged in Orlando's favor, we might be saying the same thing.
