That is great news if it really happens. I thought he did a solid job in Portland, which was a surprise when they let him go a couple years ago.

I also saw a few days ago that Collins want to have the starting front court of Brown and Hawes. Not sure how I feel about that yet.

Yea, he and Pritchard did a great job in Portland. Portland has to be the most unlucky fans. That team was about to be a championship contender until all the injuries imo. Penn also learned under Jerry West and Chuck Daly in Memphis.

And if someone like that is running this franchise, I will be genuinely excited.

Starting lineup:

Holiday
Turner
Iguodala
Hawes
Brown

That ought to be painful to watch.

Don't know if it will happen, but it's definitely interesting to say the least.

Iggy for Bynum? Where do I sign? Sucks that it's reported by Chris Broussard's dumbass or else it would be more believable.

Edit - Looks like it was reported first by Woj. Makes me feel a hell of a lot better.

My thinking exactly. I'll take one of the best centers in the league, even if it's only for one year. If his trade does go through, hopefully we can convince Bynum to sign long term.

Doesn't Iggy become a Free Agent next offseason anyways? If so, that certainly lessens the blow if Bynum does decide to leave after one season. I think this is the perfect team for him. He'll be given the best opportunity to become a star here, on both ends of the floor.

The thing that makes it so unbelievable to me is that Pau and Afflalo is not a good deal for the Magic imo. But perhaps they really like Afflalo and think he can be a 20+ ppg scorer. I think he can as well. He's a very efficient scorer. Hell of a defender as well. The more I think about it, it's not that bad a trade. Certainly better than the crap NJ was peddling.

Looks like that's only the base of the trade. Apparently the Magic would receive Vucevic among other assets like draft picks as well. Vucevic could turn into a decent player. Longest player in the draft a couple years ago and has some skill offensively. Should be a good rebounder as well.

Iggy is a free agent after this season. I would do this deal in a heartbeat. When I was listening to a local show they were saying the exact same thing. There's nice young talent on this team, and Bynum would be the centerpiece of the team.

With all the new bodies that we've brought in, maybe they consider Vucevic expendable. That's a small price to pay for a great center.

Well, the Howard trade is official.

In terms of the Sixers, they gave up Iggy, Vucevic, Harkless, and a protected future first round pick. They got back Bynum and Jason Richardson.
