97552, to me both Sixers & Lakers have already won in a sense

The Sixers were gonna dump Iggy for Odumb's expiring last summer.

Even if Bynum fell apart they'll have moved on & shed salary like they'd wanted to anyway plus you get a chance to see what these kids can do.

From that alone it's already the best haul we've gotten when trading a 'star' in my lifetime as a Sixer fan (unless possibly you count Theo/McKie-for-Stack for a stretch).

As for the Lakers, it's the lynchpin to an incredible offseason while putting them back in the title chase plus having a future piece.

I can't really see how that fails there unless Dwight somehow crumples in a heap right after they give him the max deal.

Basically every team did well but Orlando but only two made what I'd consider 'power moves' with short/long-term upside.
