Doug Collins said that he was mad that they lost Harkless, Vucevic and Iguodala and got Bynum who isn't playing at all.

That trade is looking better by the day

GO MAGIC

This is the big part for me that makes us winners of the trade. The club (Orlando) was sort of expected to take Bynum as a direct replacement but Rob came out and mentioned how they did their research and thought Bynum was too injury prone, I know Lakers fans who felt the same.
Little peed the Lakers effectively got Dwight for a bag of chips but losing draft picks and being over luxury tax makes it impossible for them to rebuild unless they put "for trade" signs on their stars which won't really happen either.

If we took Bynum we would likely have no Vucevic and have had Davis playing Center until he became injured. Which was great to see his dedication last year after Dwight was injured but not really a long term solutions.

Anyway onto the game and it was great to see Al Harrington back on the court. From his quotes it looks like it means a lot to him to be back on. I didn't realise it was severe as he may never have played again but I hope he's in every game now.

Doug Collins eviscerated his entire team in the postgame

hopefully he goes back to TNT to do color soon, he's way too emotionally invested to be a coach anymore

Lol I just came to post this

I think he's on his way out the way he was talking.

"Nik Vucevic had 19 rebounds tonight Spencer had 1, I think Lavoy had 2." Is code for "god damn my GM is an idiot and my players suck"

See he rips them but the deal was not made to free up playing time for Lavoy and Spencer. If Collins wants to argue that trading for Bynum with all of his health concerns was a HORRIBLE idea and that they should have just stuck with Nik then I am with him on that one.

Anyone notice Vuc getting mad at Harris for stealing what could've been his 20th rebound? lawl

Yea I didn't like that. The whole bench appeared to be yelling at him for it, as long as it was all in a "not so serious" way than it's fine.

LOL, Doug Collins really didn't like that trade.
