97284, Orlando did not believe Lopez to be a max contract player...

I might have taken that deal, but from what I'm reading...the Magic would have preferred Bynum over Lopez (oh yeah...plus they were not at all willing to over pay for Humphries)

but unfortunately for the Magic, Bynum preferred giving the Sixers more assurances that he'd re-up..

Maybe the Magic should hve taken that trade..the 3 #1s would have been great....but from their perspective they had a reasonable risk of having over paid for guys who get hurt or are overrated in Lopez and Humphries.... they are still getting 3 #1s, but they are gonna be 1 each from the other 3 teams involved which is better than getting 3 picks from 1 team.
