We're looooong overdue for a Stiff List, so here's your summer edition!
Orlando Magic
For the second time in franchise history, the Magic allow the NBA’s best center to leave their franchise and join the Lakers. At least this time around, the Magic received three meaningless first round draft picks.
Dwight Howard

Andrew Bynum
By refusing to re-sign with the Magic in any Howard deal, Bynum forgoes living in Orlando with its beautiful weather and no state income tax and instead gets to play in … Philadelphia.
