    If this move is followed by the Lakers somehow flipping the pick for Dwight Howard, I'm not watching the NBA anymore.

    So who would the Lakers pick, were this to happen? Williams? Irving? Kanter? Who?

    Jesus, kevC, I didn't even think of that scenario. :-O-

    Makes alot of sense for both teams honestly... The T-Wolves desperately need a solid veteran-type big man to complament KLove, and they already have Beasely so Williams makes no sense, and the Lakers could use this as a chance to keep from disapearing after the Kobe era by drafting either Williams or Knight, two of their lesser positions anyways... I like it...

    I don't think Lakers will trade Bynum for a No.2 pick in a weak draft. Adding Love to that formula and it may work out. Bynum has injury history, but a weak No.2 pick isn't enough to win it now.

    I think they'd first offer it to the Magic...if it doesn't work then I think they could look to take Williams and trade later look to trade Odom for a point, or just trade down to the 3rd or 4th spot to take Knight and try to get a later pick for it to draft a center.

    Bynum is a punk ass mother****er.
    I hate JJ Barea, but you don't do that ****. He did the same thing to Gerald Wallace and did severe damage to his lungs and his ribs.

    Far worse than Garnett, Boozer, Karl Malone, and the Douchebag Association of America combined.

    They might play it that way. Whatever they do, most of us are going to hate it. That's the Lakers for you.

    Bynum can go to hell, but I'll settle for the T-Wolves.

    This is a great gamble for the Twolves but I'm fairly certain the Lakers won't bite. They need youth so it's definitely an attractive offer but I can't see the Lakers selling THAT low on Bynum on such a relatively weak draft....of course the power dynamic in LA is changing so maybe they do bite on this one.

    I'm waiting for Minny to "throw in" Flynn into the deal. Flynn + #2 for Bynum.

    ...only LA would be desperate enough to have a PG upgrade with Flynn.

    I'm sure Beasley would like playing with the guy who elbowed him straight to the chest in the air.
