LeBron's "Decision" left a bad taste in all our mouths. Fans didn't like seeing players conspire to join forces but you can't blame the two-time MVP from wanting to play GM.
Danny Ferry could never put the right pieces around James in Cleveland, so why wouldn't he just say, "Screw it, I'll do this myself."
Well, get ready to see the Orlando Magic look as bad as the Cleveland Cavaliers very soon.
John Hollinger and a bunch of other statheads think Dwight Howard is the league's most valuable player. I didn't believe it until I started watching Orlando's playoff series against the Hawks.
No superstar as a worst supporting cast than Howard. GM Otis Smith has surrounding the league's best center with a cast of streak shooters who are allergic to playing defense.
I couldn't believe it when I read Forbes Magazine's
report that the Magic had the second highest payroll ($89 million) in the NBA and fifth largest in team sports. Smith has assembled the worst roster - outside of Howard - that money can buy.
The Magic might come back to win the series against the Hawks -
BetJamaica has them at -240 despite being down 2-1 - but there's no way they're going to be able to beat Chicago and then either Boston or Miami.
That's why certain Howard is going to opt out of his contract at the end of next season and join another superstar for a chance at a ring.
