I would say that the Russian vetoing everyone in his organization just for the need for a big splash and thinking he can talk Dwight into staying is possible.



but, IMO He's going to LA. just a matter of when and how.

I think it comes down to the Russian as well...He  traded for Deron without a confirmation of anything, so why do you think he wouldn't consider doing the same with Dwight.  I think with the new arena going up he convince Dwight that he would have the opportunity to create his own legacy in a basketball crazy place in a huge media market.  This isn't New Jersey anymore, that arena in Brooklyn will be packed as well.

Dude a corn but he is also Shaq like in he wants to be the center of attention.  He is not going to be that in LA.  Kobe will forever be #1 there and Chris Paul will be loved cause he is just a more exciting player to watch.  He'll be the 3rd most popular guy there.  In Brooklyn he is 1st.  Jay-Z and the Russian need to sell him on being the face of a place that hasn't had its own sports team for year and will look at him like a savior.


I just can't have Faker fans making ridiculous statments over the next decade man...I can't

if the trade was str8 up for gasol, i'd be all for it. but damn, they traded LO, the most consistent laker last season. what other 7 footer is there in the league that has a handle like his? my man started knockin down that 3 ball too...

and fish better not be startin over cp3.

i dunno, this whole thing makes no damn sense. specially when the team as constructed could've won another chip. bad move if you ask me...

no they wouldn't.

 

[dior paint]

On paper...has there ever been a better backcourt pairing?

 

[gregzzy23]

Idk about this trade for LA. Its weird. I mean if they pickup Howard thats as good as a big 3 as you can put together but the rest of the roster will be dookie just like Miami's. Then again Bynum isn't a slouch and still very young.

I bet Odom is salty as hell

 

[MVP]

Size, size, size...where the hell was it when the Mavs were draining 1000000000 three's last May and even in the 1st round where Okafor was having success, the game has become more and more perimeter.

I agree.  The reason why the Lakers went to the finals the last 3 out of the 4 years is because of their front court.  No other team in the NBA could've matched their size.  With CP3 on the Lakers, it's just gonna cause problems for Kobe, they both need the ball to be effective.  None of this matters if LA gets Howard, though.

 

[mronegative]

Time to fail that physical, Kevin.

 

[man listen]

Lakers can't beat the Thunder in 7 games with this team...CP3 is the truth but head to head he can't matchup with cats like Westbrook. wait til Rose busts his %%% on Christmas

 

[thapointguy]

I don't see this trade being good for LA either. Now they gotta find another big man and a 6th man to fill the void. They were doing great without a pure PG for X number of years. Unless they can lure Dwight to LA I don't see them going far in the playoffs.

 

[mustbetheshoe58]

what a day in Los Angeles

sports radio here are going

i think the lakers gave up a lot for CP3, but he is top 3 PG in the league. so why not right?

Drose has yet to lose vs CP3.....

Xmas day can't come soon enough

Literally? No. Figuratively? Yes.

 

[yeeupp]

LA, BOS, NYK, CHI, MIA are all good again.

If La can land Dwight by offering Bynum + pick or whatever the Lakers have left then MAN!

Howard - Kobe - CP3?

lakers were destroyed in the first round with the "3 7 footers"

honestly, only bynum provided toughness as a big
lamar and odom are skilled but soft

 

[thapointguy]

I don't think Khloe Odom is happy about this trade either.
