If Howard is traded before the season starts, the Magic will be much worse than the Raps in my opinion.

Ahhhh crap. I should have put more information in again... sorry.
I'm going on the basis Brook Lopez is the centre piece of the return and Howard is traded to New Jersey.
Rumours have been the league is pushing for the Lakers to send Bynum to NOH.
So to recap:
Orlando worse than Toronto if Howard goes to New Jersey for Lopez, prospects, and draft picks.

I dont understand why with the wonderful coach they have and their GM these guys dont want to play in a great city like NO. Yeah its a bit humid in the summer and there is the occasional hurricane.
I keep coming back to the fact that the league screwed up royally by not ensuring this crap occurring again without adequate compensation or a severe penalty to the player for getting choice of location and maximum salary. They have to wait 6 yrs. minimum before this issue comes up again...just in time for the Raps stars looking to do the same????

Andy Rautins eh? More local good PR to distract from a horrible season...though part of me can imagine (and fears) this team of underdogs coming together under a new coach and exceeding everyone's expectations.Two beer away from being two beers away.

Here's why the Magic won't finish worse than the Raps:

We'll have to see what happens.
PG: Nelson, Duhon, Pruitt
SG: J. Richardson, Redick, Q. Richardson
SF: Turkoglu, Harper
PF: Big Baby, Anderson
C: Lopez/Bynum, Orton
Personally, I think if you take Dwight Howard away from Orlando and insert Lopez, that team is worse than the Raptors. Bynum would be questionable and probably in ORL favour.
PG: Bayless, Calderon, Anthony
SG: DD, Barbosa, Butler
SF: JJ, Forbes, Kleiza
PF: Bargnani, ED, Amir
C: Gray, Magloire, Alabi
Again though, we'll have to see what happens because Orlando's roster is not complete and any trade may have more pieces.

If Gasol and Bynum end up on Orlando, then yes, I agree, they will be much better than Toronto. Especially considering Orlando probably turns around and says to Houston: you still want Gasol?
