    Quick question. Can we trade our 2015 first round pick or does the Ted S. rule prevent that because we could miss the playoffs this year and end up keeping our pick and then have no picks in 2014 and 2015?

    So youre saying that even though Howard says he won't sign, and Bynum says he would... It's the same risk!? Really?? That's pretty nieve bro.

    Howard isnt even that much better than Bynum... I'll take the guy who wants to be here, thanks.

    Let's be realistic: The reason LA could potentially get Howard here is because they have Andrew Bynum, the best player available in exchange for Howard. And they have Andrew Bynum is because they drafted him #10 way back in 2005.

    I'm all for trying the Bynum experiment, but I'm telling you guys I just don't see mchale's coaching style meshing well with a head case like Bynum. If this trade pulls through, please prove me wrong Bynum...

    Artest
    Gasol
    Howard

    That is one heck of a 2 year window.

    In a 103–88 win against Denver in the opening game of the playoffs, Bynum had a triple-double with 10 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 blocked shots. The blocked shots broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's franchise record of nine, and tied the NBA playoff record set by Mark Eaton and Hakeem Olajuwon.[65] After the Lakers led the series 3–1, Bynum said, "Close-out games are actually kind of easy."[66] The Lakers eventually won the series 4–3 with Bynum contributing a career playoff-high 18 rebounds in Game 7.[67]

    You know when ESPn mentions the Rockets live on Sportscenter, or writes an article about us on the front page of their website( this trade might be on the verge of happening)

    I just wish we could have signed Chris Bosh back in that 2010 free-agency( and we could have paired up Bynum with him right now)

    Great.. Bynum has the potential to be better then Howard..plus he's younger. Bynum was Lakers best player last year.
