That all seems fine except I dont think McGrady will sign with Orlando. He might sign with the Spurs or Kings and boost that team. Then it will be interesting to see what can be done.

As for Shaq, he wont leave the Lakers not this season. He cant and wont. He cannot exercise the free agency option until the end of the next season.

Why wouldn't McGrady re-sign with Orlando if Shaq went there? There's not one viable reason for him to leave Orlando if the Magic and Lakers work out a trade. If anything, it will make Tracy McGrady an even better player than he already is. Look what Shaq did for Kobe and the rest of the Lakers.

And Shaq certainly can leave the Lakers. If he says he will opt out of his contract next season and be a free agent, the Lakers will lose him for nothing. By saying he wants a trade, this way the Lakers will get something for him...like the #1 pick in the draft.

And Orlando has alot of dead meat on the roster to cut and get some payroll room.

i wish sacramento would kick some ass. webber stojakovic, divac, bibby, and christie all deserve it. hell, so does miller

Why does Chris Webber deserve it as much as those other guys? I'll give you Bibby, Stojakovic, Christie, Divac, and Miller (better yet, how about Bobby Jackson?), but Chris Webber?

The guy could have been a champion at the college level and the NBA level, but plain and simply put, he doesn't want it bad enough.

Kevin Garnett...now there's a guy who deserves it.

Biggg Lakers fan here , i was thinking maybe kobe would go to the Bobats because maybe kobe asked to be un-protected for the expansion and then the Lakers could possibly get T-mac. But nobody knows what is going on so we'll have to wait till seasons new

OMFG its OVER!

wow. this rules! i love it when dynastys fall. like.

go pistons. go marlins last year for beating the yankees. i was glad when the bulls were over too.

this rules! sorry lakers fans.

There could be several less-expected changes to follow.

Karl Malone has already opted out of his contract, although he hopes to play for the Lakers if healthy.

Gary Payton and Derek Fisher could follow Bryant and Malone and opt out of their deals. However, Payton reportedly is less likely to leave now that Jackson is going and Fisher seems to be having trouble deciding.

Lakers are just like the Bulls - fall apart after winning consecutive championships... :(

How could you even compare the two?

The Bulls were dismantled after WINNING a championship, the Lakers haven't won a championship for 2 years now.

Also, the Lakers are being dismantled because they are greedy and selfish. The Bulls never had any qualms on the court. It was Michael Jordan's team, plain and simple. The Lakers can't decide whose team it is (although, it should be Shaq's, bar none).

Bulls management wanted to start rebuilding to save money. This is the one area that you can compare the two: Phil Jackson was denied extensions from both teams.

If Michael Jordan hadn't retired, it's a 99% chance the Bulls would have ran off 6 straight championships using the same core players, Michael and Scottie. The Lakers have had 5 years with THE SAME TEAM, and only managed 3 titles.

Safe to say, there will never be a basketball team like the 1997 Chicago Bulls. EVER. This year was the one year that the 72 win record was in jeopardy, but even 4 future Hall of Fame players couldn't win 65 games for the Lakers.

Jerry West is in Memphis...if he still has that much pull in LA, I'm impressed. :p

    • Cuktech 10 Ultra charger review: big display, four ports, 110W total power

      By 31067 · Posted

      I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
