All aboard! The Love train!
There should be a sign and trade. You guys can take back old man Wes.
Nash's got a plan. He'll play his last few season for the Raptors, then when he retires, he'll take over the front office and get rid of Colangelo.
He almost certainly would have been a top 10 pick last season on potential alone.
He had an incredibly inconsistent season last year, though.
The good thing is that he's unlikely to play any minutes of significance this year barring a major trade or injury.
No.
That said, Jones, Barnes and Sullinger lost a lot of money by returning to school.
You can take a bag of go fuck yourself.
I think the risk is worth it for the Lakers.

bynum for his bitchassness. leggo
I think I'll take this headcase over our current one if this has any chance of happening. It's not like we have much choice in getting a franchise center anyway when there's only like 3 in the league and 2 of them being complete idiots while the other is always injured.

So, yeah, give Bynum for Howard straight up, then Howard walks at the end of the season is worth it for the Lakers? #scratcheshead
Who's to say he walks.
It's a risk, but there are a lot worse places to be than playing for the Lakers.

OKC would be crazy to give Ibaka a max contract. I could see Harden, but Ibaka gives you nothing on the offensive side of the ball and he disappeared in the Finals. Granted, Harden disappeared too, but at least Harden had some enormous games prior to the Finals.
I hope Dwight goes to the Lakers so Deron will be forced to sign with Dallas.

Worst case we lose Bynum for nothing, and to be honest, I didn't' want to give Bynum a max contract after next season anyway. Win-Win.

It's true, no way he stays in LA. Everybody knows he wants to go be a star in a major market.

What happens when the Nets get Joe Johnson and some other pieces? He might want to play in Brooklyn but it will literally be impossible. Could definitely see him signing long term for the Lakers and I'd imagine the Magic will wait until Billy King makes it impossible for him to be in Brooklyn.
So probably in a few days.
Pretty much. Granted Jim Buss may be stupid enough to give him the max if he's not traded.

hell no!
we do not need a dwight rental for andrew bynum. if he wants to go to the nets... let him go.
did you see what chris paul did with that move to the clippers?
straight bait-and-switch
im starting to hate this super friends shit the NBA is going through.
Uh yes? First I don't think he'll leave, and secondly if they keep Bynum they'll have to give him a new contract after this season. As it is the Lakers have nobody under contract after 13-14. Either Howard stays or the team goes into compete rebuilding mode. Having Bynum on the team would fuck that up.

two teams
the celtics and then the heat
now everyone is trying to super friends their way to a ring.
chris paul is trying to be a knick again.
i wish OKC got that chip... just destroy all that crap and return to team ball.
like what the pistons did back in 04
they saved us from ourselves (lakers)... went too hollywood with superstars playing selfish basketball and lost because of it.

THIS THIS THIS. This is why I was driving the Drew for Melo bandwagon so hard last season. I don't want Elden Campbell 2.0 making $18 million against our cap in 2 years when Kobe and Pau are gone. If we can add a long term star like Deron or Dwight now, so be it, but otherwise just try and compete for the next 2 years and make tweaks to the core and then blow it all up when Kobe/Pau expire.
Really?
At least it's over and management can focus on the Harden and Ibaka situation.
You have to give him some credit, but I think he misuses our talent at times.

Dwight can't go to Brooklyn if they give up waiting on his ass. There is a very high possibility this plays itself out over the next few weeks. It's why he's hilariously threatening legal action against Orlando. He knows it and he's totally desperate.

lol, all 30 teams would offer a bynum a max if Roy Hibbert is getting one.
I don't think Dwight would up an leave if traded to LAL. I wonder if this would engage Deron into coming to LA somehow...
Meanwhile, I like the Lakers going after Brandon Rush. Would upgrade the backup 2 spot tremendously and also allow Kobe to play some SF.
He's the reason OKC blew game 4.
There's a difference between the kind of max Roy can get, versus the one that Bynum can get.

I agree. I blame him for the Finals loss, period. Shame that it didn't go 6 or 7.
His stubbornness and insistence on playing Perk and Fisher major minutes cost us the series.

i dont care what the source is. its great entertainment for the dwight howard drama.

True, but he'd still get it from all 30 teams. If Hibbert is worth 12, then Bynum is worth $16 or whatever starting it is (he doesn't have a max now, so it's not as high as $18 IIRC).

lol, this is too good to be true.
And Hibbert has officially taken Rashard Lewis place as the most overpayed player in the league if he gets the max. The hell is Portland thinking? They need Kevin Pritchard back.

Yea I'm surprised he hasn't been overpaid yet. He was a rebounding machine after Bogut went down.

lol if Lakers get Dwight without giving up Bynum then shift Bynum for Deron.
I think that dude is full of shit, though. It'll be Dwight for Bynum and Lakers keeping Ramon. Though, the right play would be to go after Nash at $8 mil per, but he won't come for even $12. That bastard.
