Dwight is looking for a max contract I think. Dunno if they can afford him. Unless they fill their open spots with scrubs and that team won't make any kind of final.
To tell you the truth, what both Lakers and the Knicks need are winners.
The ultimate one would be Lebron.

Howard isn't good enough to get a max contract. He should have stayed in Orlando.

Are Orlando on the up ...

Thon Maker is dropping down the draft - fears he is older than claimed

No one was even projecting him as a first rounder. Not surprising.

Though I suppose he could still be a surprise.

Thon Maker eventually going as #10. Very high for him, I didn't expect that.

Meanwhile, OKC trade Ibaka to the Magic for Oladipo, Ilyasova and #11 (Domantas Sabonis).

Kinda of a weird trade - Ibaka has statistically regressed over the last few years, but he was still a major part of the excellent defence played by OKC in the playoffs this year. I don't know what Durant will make of this. Oladipo is an explosive talent, but he's a very similar player to Westbrook. A big upgrade on Roberson, but not exactly the best fit alongside Westbrook.

Really like the kid Sabonis. Has some of his dad's skills, though not his insane size and strength.
