    It's probably going to be some weird 7 or 8 player deal, where the Lakers have to trade some of their other players with Bynum. Cleveland and LA both take on Orlando's poison contracts (Turkoglu, Richardson, and Davis). Maybe even Reddick and Duhon.

    LOL Cavs front office has TERRIBLE scouts

    other than getting Kyrie, i dont blame LeBron for leaving

    how do you take Tristan Thompson that high over Jonas, and the Dion Waiters pick this year is one of the biggest headscrathers i have ever seen( lol at the Wade comparisons haha)

    Correcting myself, I was thinking of a player Cleveland should have taken (Jonas) instead of the one they actually took again.

    Still though both Waiters and Thompson may be enough young talent for the Magic if they can unload more of their bad contracts I guess.

    Rockets' toronto pick is worth more than the top 13 protected.
    And if push comes to shove, we can offer them one future pick of our own(2015?) because if howard bails it should be worth more than cleveland's own pick with bynum.

    I guess if Orlando values the future hall of famer Tristan that much then yes cleveland is the team to involve.

    This is all propaganda by Orlando.

    Good, rather not lose all our prospects in this pursuit of Howard...Although if we could land Bynum while retaining a majority of them it would be nice

    Done Well, I agree! That's getting to the playoffs. The 94 Rockets is the only team I can think of that won championship with an Elite 5 and a decent 1,2,3,4 spot players...Other teams had elite 2, 3, or 4.

    Anyway, just my opinion. :)

    I'm going to stick my limited clutchfans reputation on this outcome being completely bull****.

    They can talk all they want, but Cleveland and LA only have ancillary pieces so if Bynum is not going to Orlando, Cleveland sure as hell isn't going to give up enough to get Bynum.

    Think about it this way, does Cleveland have enough to get Dwight Howard straight up?

    If the answer is "No" then there is no way involving LA helps that cause, MWP isn't enough to push Cleveland's "offer for D12" over the top where Orlando would agree.

    Morey should be sitting in his office laughing right now. Just hold to your guns, Orlando HAS to come to us. I'm not believing anything else.

    Patience, ClutchFans, this is in the bag. Order your 4 game ticket packages if you haven't already, no more cheap seats in section 114 when Dwight/Bynum are here.

    I'll believe it when I see it. The Cavs don't have enough to get this done.

    It makes sense to me, cleveland gets bynum to pair with uncle drew, and possibly have to take on garbage contracts from both la and orlando, lakers get overrated dwight "little girl" howard and orlando gets all the young talent and expiring contracts and draft picks
