Stern did what he thought the owners wanted and possibly what public opinion would want. Now he realizes his mistake and can't settle in any trade without coming up on top or look the fool even more.

Man, L.A. trading Odom was huge. Getting Howard for Pay and Bynum would have been great because you still have Odom. But even still, LA needs to do that deal

How is Andrew Bynum's contract a good thing? If you consider that good, they might as well trade Dwight and Hedo for nothing. Isn't the point to get a player who is part of the future? Not someone that you cut after 1 year or someone that leaves after 2 years. Really? Dwight for literally nothing?Originally Posted by tupac003

obviously you have a slanted view. But why not just rebuild now? How is Bynum going to help? Bynum is 1 jump away from being out for the season. He acts like a little %!@## many times, and this is when he's on a championship team. Just imagine the attitude he'll have on a team competing for the #1 pick in next years draft. If they had any chance in the east, I'd say risk it with Bynum. But they won't, so what's the point?
You can't rebuild now if you take wallace's contract. He has a player option..Drew has a team option. You can dump drew at the end of the year and have nothing on your cap basically. Plus drew is from New Jersey...I'm sure he wouldn't mind playing at home......I just want D-12 in a laker Uniform but I know it's not going to happen.

So your going to build around Gerald Wallace? Really? Brook Lopez? Really? SMH....

It's great that the NBA is back, but this season's play is gonna be attrocious. Too many moving parts, too little time to practice/get chemistry/gel together as teams. And the schedule is pretty crazy.

I think D12 is a great player but I hope he significantly improves his offensive game and post moves if he gets traded for both Pau and Bynum. What made the Lakers such a tough out was the fact that they could dump it in the post and get 18 points per game. Most teams don't have that and is something they'll need if they trade both bigs.
This is the guy that Stern is listening too regarding Chris Paul
The Grizzlies lasted six years before moving to Memphis. Only Jackson called the @#$%s during that time ⦠I mean, called the shots. Some Stu highlights: He overpaid Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Bryant Reeves and Michael Dickerson; he stubbornly wasted the no. 2 pick in a loaded 1999 draft on a guy who didn't want to play in Canada (Steve Francis), then panic-traded Francis to Houston for Brent Price, Antoine Carr, Othella Harrington, Dickerson and a no. 1 pick a few months later; he passed on local hero Steve Nash not once (in the 1996 draft) but twice (when Nash became available via trade two years later); and he dealt an unprotected no. 1 pick for Otis Thorpe in 1997 that ended up being the no. 2 pick in the LeBron/Carmelo/Bosh/Wade draft (yeah, Detroit took Darko, but still); and (my personal favorite), he took Anthony Peeler and George Lynch off Jerry West's hands in 1996 so the Lakers had enough cap space to sign Shaquille O'Neal
Yeah, Chris Paul is in good hands.....
And people in here backed Stern, and still do.

Can these @*$$*%% get traded so we can start the season already? Pre-season starts Friday.
Ship CP3 to either LA. I don't even care anymore.
Dwight just needs to make up his mind.
