The Nets will not do that trade, the Magic likely will not.

Gasol for D Will and Bynum for Howard. Instant Title paired with Kobe. NJ and Orlando get a quality player in return instead of nada next year.

I agree. Bynum is still very young and seems to be healthy since he put in a lot of work in the long off season. The Magic can’t do any better.

Bynum by far is the best name even mentioned for Howard & sorry people its not even close! Magic need to quit dragging their feet on this one, before they get less than that!

They have very little of trade value on the roster.

Bynum and Gasol

Unless you deal kobe..oh man but then its a revolution.

But they have zero talent outside of those 3 and I am not sure how much Gasol is worth alone.

Only way to reload is probably just be patient and wait on howard. Dont do what the knicks did to aquire melo.

So trade gasol for a package of youth/pg. Sign Howard and have Kobe, Howard and Bynum next season.

There is no trade other than Gasol that makes sense and it has to be to assume you land howard next season.

The solution is so easy, it can be frustrating to witness their obliviousness to it: Trade John Boy Walton for Howard and Goldilocks for Rondo and call-up Skibby MaRue!

Then sit back and count the champeenships.

Thanks for the thumbs down! I understand why everyone disagrees with me, I do see upon second look that the Lakers are actually way under the cap and DWill will probably take the vets minimum to play with them anyway.

Sorry but if I’m Orlando there’s no way I accept what the Lakers have to offer.Bynum is an injury machine and Gasol is getting older and is still a finesse player.The team that can benefit them the most would be Chicago or the New Jersey/Brooklyn/Harlem Nets.

They don’t have the cap room to sign anyone, certainly not D-Will.

You’re right. Kupchak should probably just be like “you know, we’re ALWAYS good. Let’s switch it up and just let Kobe retire without trying to reload at all. It’s time we tried being bad for a while. And I’m not talking Van Exel – Jones – Ceballos – Campbell – Divac mediocre, I mean REAL BAD!”

Hands down, the worst. Agreed.

I only want Howard if the Lakers can give up just one of the big guys (Bynum or Gasol). Both? no way…part of me thinks it might be best to ride out the year with this roster and get D-Will next year in free agency.
