    I'd do...

    LAL gets: Dwight Howard
    HOU gets: Andrew Bynum
    ORL gets: Martin, Patterson, Jones, Dallas pick, Toronto pick, 2 2nd round picks (from NYK)

    Scola gives them good production and cap relief relative to gasol... and they value Howard more than Bynum.

    Makes a lot of sense for them.

    Most likely true...but he'd be joining the Rockets along with another star.

    In any case, rebuilding sounds so refreshing.

    Not really. Gasol to Scola is a major drop off.

    He'd leave LA and the Clippers, a team on the rise, plus the extra year he could get by staying to sign with the Rockets for less money because he'd get to play with...Al Jefferson?

    LOL?

    lol, why would I pick you out of the crowd to mock?

    Rebuilding is a great option...Im just torn between the two. I'd rather have Howard than Bynum...because a team with Bynum as its centerpiece will struggle to win. Heck, the Lakers surrounded Bynum with Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol and they still couldnt do anything.

    So we take on all the HORRIBLE contacts + get the worse of the 2 centers.

    This rumor is ridiculous. Why would we facilitate a trade to LA, when we could get the better of the 2 players in Howard AND LA is already out of the running without us (Bynum doesn't want to play in Orlando, and Orlando said that is a deal breaker).

    Take the gamble on the less injury prone, better player and see if he resigns. All the big markets don't have cap space next season, tell Dwight prove us wrong and go sign w/ ATL, Bobcats, or any other worthless team.

    Hou trades: Martin, Jones, White or Morris, Raptors pick, Mavs Pick
    Hou recieves: Bynum Jrich

    Orl trades: Dwight, Hedo, Richardon, and Duhon
    Orl recieves: Martin, Jones, White or Morris, Raptors pick Mavs pick, Goudelock, Artest, and Lakers pick

    La Recieves: Dwight, Hedo, Duhon
    La trades: Bynum, Artest, Goudelock , a Pick

    Why Hou does it: Houston will finally have a talented team and a veteran albeit overpaid in Jrich. They have a young talented roster with that stud talent

    Why Orl does it: They get rid of all their bad contracts, young talent, and picks to help rebuild.

    Why La does it: They get the best center in the game. They get a capable starting SF albeit expensive.

    I wouldn't mind Bynum, would rather have D12.

    I just don't see a credible source yet though

    Edit: Nevermind I missed J.R.'s tweet. ( I still can't get used to your name not being hsf09)

    Okay, this sounds like it could be possibly be true. If it happens I take back everything I've said and thought about Morey over the last 3 yrs.

    Howard and Scola > Pau and Bynum

    Howard, Scola, Nash, and Kobe is a serious threat to OKC.

    I've been saying bynum since the beginning of this offseason crap. Anyway, the sixers could be that 4th team for taking on gasol. They can offer Iggy to the Lakers and Moultree to orlando for Gasol.

    Would be ironic if Dwight ends up signing an extension in LA and Bynum bolts.

    Plus I have to think Hennigan doesn't like the idea of missing out on Bynum, but he may resign himself to the fact that the Rockets mix is as good as he's going to get, and I'm sure at this point they would be willing to deal more for Bynum than for Dwight.

    LA would have to add some players/pics. Bynum for Dwight is not equal.

    I think its fair on behalf of Houston who is in effect trading for Bynum.
