Bynum is the second best big man in the league right now by default and Orlando doesn't want D12 leaving without getting anything for him ala Bron. It could happen but if this somehow happens I'm ready to kiss the ground Jim Buss and Mitch walk on!

BUT I don't think the lakers were gonna go all the way with this lineup again though

Yeah its a big risk considering Bynum is not exactly the best trade bait (IMO) and now they would have vacated their Front court for Paul. But !+@$, if Howard is a possibility in the near future, then its a risk you take

This is definitely a bad move on the Lakers part. Don't get too caught up on names. Basketball is a team game. You need bigs. According to numbers, Paul wasn't even that great last season.

If they end up getting Dwight Howard too, good GOD...
RIP Heat, Knicks, Bulls, Celtics, Mavs, whoever.
Also, owners ratified deal, our game is officially back boys.

Did you not see him in the playoffs?

Good. Now, the Grizzlies really do have the best frontcourt in the West. Pau and Bynum was the only frontcourt that scared me.

Who's gonna play the 4?

Yes I saw him in the playoffs. He broke apart a Laker team that wasn't interested at all and a great defender in Derek Fisher.

Lakers don't make this deal if they don't believe they can land Dwight (I think)
Just 'cause I don't think this deal alone really improves them. Losing Pau and Odom wipes away their one major advantage against the rest of the league and CP3 might make up for it elsewhere, but not sure it's enough.

joe johnson is rolling over on his pile of money right now.
JJ > kevin martin. a team built around joe has been to the playoffs for the past 4 consecutive seasons. he for sure isn't worth the money he's making, but he's a better passer, defender, rebounder, and is as good of scorer as kevin martin's flopping self.
pssshh i'd take james harden or eric gordon over kevin martin. maybe even tyreke or monta

If Dwight ends up on the Lakers, I'm going to cry.
If I have to put up with Kobe has more rings than Jordan so he is the GOAT threads in a couple years...mannnnnnnn.

Same thing I've been saying His contract sucks and his legs are made of glass, no thanks

EXACTLY. CP3 won't make up for it. I don't really get it either, maybe I'm too used to the Lakers not needed a traditional PG. Kobe is the one who facilitates the offense. It will be totally different. They gave up two highly skilled bigs, for one PG.

I wouldn't go as far to say that Bynum doesn't have that much trade bait. He's a 24 year old center who has two championships under his belt, Athletic, Tough and only a year left on his deal. That's a much better offer than most teams can add up. Now if this trade lands us Dwight,

Lost all faith in Daryl Morey. Can't believe this.

Exactly, I don't think so either.
They can be mediocre for a year, be a team middle in the pack, and then get Dwight next year.
Bigger questions are who will be their 3/4 though?
