It appears Howard and the Lakers are getting what they wanted.

Lakers finalizing trade for Dwight Howard

On paper, the Lakers look like a favorite to win it all for the next 2-3 seasons with the addition of Nash and now Howard. However, they still have Mike Brown as coach. lolz If the Heat want to repeat, they better find a legit big man unless they count on OKC making it to the Finals again. The Celtics' Fab Melo will get a good schooling from Howard in the regular season which I hope helps him in the playoffs. And the 76ers gave up an All Star for a legit big man All Star. I wonder how Bynum plays this year with more production from him to be expected. Very interesting.....
 
does anyone keep VORP stats for the NBA? VORP = value over replacement player. I don't see how Howard is significantly better than Bynum.

I actually like Denver in the West. Iguodala has yet to have his best NBA seasons, and Javale McGee is ascending.

edit: actually I don't think VORP is calculable when the players were on two different teams.
 
I knew they were trading Iggy.

If Evan Turner, Jrue Holliday, Thaddeus Young, and Moultrie all step up this year I like how the team looks.

All hinges on Bynum now
 
Bynum is the biggest douchebag in the NBA. I cant like sixers now.

Bynum is just as good as Dwight on offense, and better at the free throw line

gatas gon gate
 
got dayum Im actually looking forward to this year. Sixers literally took a 180 on their offseason rating with one trade and signing Nick Young and Dorrel Wright.

I see them finishing anywhere from 2-6, but id be more inclined to say its gonna be on the lower end (seed wise) of that range
 
i used to hate philly when they had iverson, now i kind of root for them

maybe it's cause i actually paid attention to nba back than, i was a die hard celtic fan when the starting 5 was pierce, walker, eric williams, kenny anderson, and tony battie (2001-2002?)...that comeback win vs NJ in the 2nd or third round was crazy sick, and i missed the bulk of it it cause i changed the channel thinking the game was toast

once celtics got the big three i lost interest in them and in the nba, my favorite teams these days are any team that sucks or are major over achievers

i like bynum for his post game comments, like last year when he was praised for grabbing 30 boards, and his response was ' yeah but i shot the ball like shit'

well done sir
 
a little over 10 days until the season starts. Anyone got any pre-season predictions? Mine are:

Champions - Lakers
Finals MVP - Kobe Bryant
Reg Season MVP - Lebron James
Defensive POTY - Dwight Howard
Rookie OTY - Anthony Davis
6th Man OTY - Jamal Crawford
Most Improved Player - Evan Turner
Coach OTY - Doug Collins
