    Why do people hate on someone just trying to provide some info, yeah there may be another thread on it, but damn, sometimes you just dont see them, let the forum mods merge the threads and stop trying to be internet tough guys.

    Because 1. Why do you want to inconvenience the forum mods?

    They're cool guys and giving you a great service for free. Spend a whole 20 seconds scanning the forums and make an educated judgement yourself, saving them the effort.

    2. It's a r****ded article and doesn't need to be posted twice. "Sources"? Who is J.Rudolph... the red-nosed reindeer? Same "sources" as Lakers Nation (clearly no bias here)? Our own insiders reported various things that didn't happen. This fluff piece doesn't need to be listed twice.

    People love to complain, even though it has nothing to do with them.

    Actually, any trade that happens with the Rockets, is going to have to happen after we settle the Asik deal. Yes, we can still go after Dwight if Asik signs, but nothing can happen until it's done. Getting Asik means we have to tweak our offer because we would no longer be able to accept more of those bad contracts.

    What I'm saying is that if we want Bynum rather than Dwight and LA is in a hurry to get this done, we can make the deal now.

    I'm really having a hard time believing the Rockets would give up Lamb for Bynum/Howard on a rental. If they come already extended, then okay.

    We must stop Dwight to LA I can not live thru another Lakers dynasty!!!! This Is bull **** Lakers fans just need to understand you can't always be a championship team... Fml!

    What are the chances The Commissioner blocks this trade? I mean whats the difference between Chris Paul and Dwight? Other than the Hornets being in the deal.

    Kobe's game is already on the decline so I don't think Dwight would give them a dynasty.

    Not just Dwight but Nash and if they keep Gasol... They might not win a bunch of championships but we for damn sure are going to be far behind for the next 5 years!!

    All the more reason to get Howard. Unless Bynum doesn't want to re-up with Orlando, this isn't happening.

    If we aren't taking and contracts and not giving up anything, why would they even make us the third team?

    It's called a trade for a reason, I bet we'd have to take one contract and give up one pick and martin

    lol. More than that though. Do you really think Andrew Bynum is only worth 1 moderately bad contract, one lottery pick, and an expiring Kevin Martin?

    I expect a deal, if we decide we want Bynum instead of going for Howard directly, to look something like this:

    Jeremy Lamb
    Terrence Jones
    Kevin Martin
    TOR pick
    DAL pick

    for

    Bynum
    Richardson
