Lakers willing to offer Bynum and Odom for Dwight

[Joey Gallo]

Why would the Magic want Gasol over Bynum? He's more expensive, older and it's not like they are le contenders with Gasol.

Sorry, meant instead of Odom.

[LkrFan]

Don't do it Orlando.

[frodo]

That's a terrible trade too, why would the Lakers trade away their 2nd best player for a guy who is arguably the worst defensive big man in the league and a rookie in a draft where the top picks are of low value, and might not even be able to contribute this or next year, when the Lakers are just trying to get a couple of more le runs out of Kobe's last good years.
/facepalm

league's leading rebounder = worst defensive big man? kobe is a coniferous who never gets old i think kobe can maintain good form till his 40s imho, pau however already shows signs of aging, artest was a terrible signing in the first place and can possible turn tumor anytime.

trade artest (or odom) + glassman for DH + whatever trash, Pau to minny for LOVE and da #2 pick, lakers STACKED

[Joey Gallo]

Next topic up for debate is how much Kobe's legacy diminishes when doesn't win with Dwight

[benefactor]

Lateral move tbh. They get better defensively but the holes at the wing are still glaring.

[LeBald Crabs]

Gasol/Bynum/Barnes for Howard/Nelson/JJ Re
This trade would make both teams better imho.
Magic:
Arenas/Richardson/Barnes/Gasol/Bynum
Lakers:
Nelson/Kobe/Artest/Odom/Howard

Dwight to LA sounds ok by me....

Because Kobe needs ANOTHER big man in his prime

[Koolaid_Man]

Because Kobe needs ANOTHER big man in his prime

or a big man has always needed Kobe...Shaq before Kobe no rings...Gasol before Kobe 0-12 .......

[Joey Gallo]

or a big man has always needed Kobe...Shaq before Kobe no rings...Gasol before Kobe 0-12 .......

Kobe not getting out of the first round without either one of them

[Lukor]

Anyone who wants Dwight will have to take Arenas and/or Turkoglu. And 30+yr old Odom doesnt make any sense if the Magic go into rebuilding mode.

Carried by two hall of fame big men

[sefant77]

If im Dwight i sign as a FA in 2012 with Brooklyn and let them ship out Lopez for an allstar wing like Iggy

Deron
Morrow
Iggy
Humphries
Dwight

Outlaw

[pass1st]

Priority #1 - Replace Fisher with a capable PG

Priority #2 - Get a good staff to cover up Brown's incompetence

Priority #3 - Better bench

Priority #392 - Get Dwight Howard

[DarkGinobili]

Lol

[DirkDoesWork]

Of course the Lakers are willing to offer Odom and Bynum.

The real question is if Orlando's FO is re ed enough to accept the deal.

[cheguevara]

regardless lakers don't get any better.

The real point is Lakers lost because of their ty bench and Kobe's new role as bag of of the team. Getting Dwight won't change those 2 factors one bit.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Swap those pieces and I don't think that's a Lakers that gets swept by the Mavs, but it's not one that wins a ring either.

[dbreiden83080]

...Gasol before Kobe 0-12 .......

I'm sure Kobe would have won rings in Memphis..

[dbreiden83080]

Supposedly the Magic want to move Dwight to the team willing to take Arenas. That should work for LA actually.

Arenas is cancer to any team he plays for

I endorse that move..

[Killakobe81]

They won't get a better offer than a center who will walk at the same time Dwight would and an old PF who is of no use in a rebuilding project? Bynum would have to greenlight the trade by agreeing to an extension for Orlando to do it, and why would Bynum sign his own ticket out of LA to play in ty Florida with a horrible team?

Why would bynum walk?

[Killakobe81]

if bynum proves worthy of a lucrative extension why would he not stay? his agent is souless parasite, bynum would take the best offer.
