I'm preying to God that the Jazz get their shit together and at least make this year interesting. Okur will probably be dealt by seasons end since his contract is expiring. Having a front court of Millsap, Kanter, Favors, Jefferson and Okur is solid, but our guards are terrible.

You're not getting either because the Lakers are old and washed up. Nobody wants your garbage.

My team is gonna suck ass this year. Lawrence Frank? What a garbage coach for the Pistons to get. He's gonna suffer the same fate as Anne Frank as the Pistons gonna get gassed alot this year. Or was that Helen Keller? Whatever, Oklahoma gonna win it all this year.

I don't actually think the Lakers are gonna get both, but the GM said yesterday that he's open to trading anyone on the team (besides Kobe) to make the team better, so I think they have a good chance at getting one of them.

even if we COULD get both, I wouldn't wanna trade LO, Bynum AND Pau. Way too much to lose.

They aren't even gonna get 1. No young team wants a soon to be over the hill Gasol or Lamar, and Bynum isn't exactly great.

Pau's only 31... He's got 4 years left. He ain't over the hill, just cuz he had a bad playoffs last year doesn't mean he's over the hill. He's the best PF in the game, still, in my book.

So why would a re-building team take on a 31 year old forward?

The trade or deals wouldn't make any sense considering one of the key arguments made by the owners for the lockout was to prevent smaller market teams from getting gutted just to form a few superstar teams and a stronger cap penalty to prevent the richer teams from just buying their way out of the cap.
Chris Paul won't be leaving the Hornets any time soon because the NBA still needs him there in order to sell the team to a potential future owner. You take him away and the NBA might as well just fold (or move) the team since it no longer has any value in New Orleans. |

If they don't move him the team will have even less value when he leaves in FA and they don't get any pieces back.

Knicks apparently in the lead to get Tyson Chandler. Means they'd have to trade or amnesty Billups.
Also hearing they could try and trade Amare for Paul if this goes down. That'd probably be a good basketball move but damn that'd be a scumbag move after Amare got the ball rolling for the Knicks in signing here when noone else would. |

Sounds like a deal is close to send Paul to the Lakers for Bynum and Odom.

Guess its Odom and Gasol going instead.
And the same day the CBA that Fisher's been working for gets ratified he loses his job. |

Well I was wrong about Paul but wow the Lakers get another scorer but lost out on size for both defense and rebounding in the deal.

They can still ship Bynum for Howard . If they can't pull off a Howard trade the Lakers will get eatenn alive in the front court..Bynum is unreliable too many injuries

All bias aside, I don't really see the Lakers getting much better from this trade...They just gave away their only reliable big men (both of whom complemented Kobe really well) for a ball dominating point guard. Kobe doesn't need anybody to create for him...don't think he would want that either.
Unless they're able to swing a reliable and skilled 4, I almost see this as a downgrade. |

The Hornets are owned by the NBA and they give away the best point guard in the NBA to the biggest market in the league for scrap metal. Shocking.
