If we're considering blowing up the core, I'd like something along the lines of this happen. Pau + TPE to Minn for #2/Wes/Darko.

Not bad though I'd rather have Flynn (for trade purposes) and I think the Wolves would rather include Flynn then Wes who should be their starting SG next year.

Then move Blake/Bynum/Odom/#2 for Paul/Okafor/resigned Landry.

Owwwwwwwwwwww, owwwwwww, I feel like you just stabbed me through the heart!!!! Wow, what are you thinking dude, that is the most insane, RAPE trade I've ever seen in my life from someone who is trying to be serious. The Hornets would give us a re-signed Landry and Okafor for Blake straight up if they could just to get out of Okafor's contract. Bynum, #2 and Odom for CP3 ... wow, that hurts.

Paul/Fisher
Bryant/Barnes
Johnson/Artest
Landry/MLE or Draft pick
Okafor/Milicic

If Mitch takes your advice and does this you will know why they call Kobe the Black Mamba as he will personally find out where you live, climb into your room at night and snuff you out ... and if he doesn't some other Laker fan will ... that lineup SUCKS ... we're a first round playoff out for the rest of Kobe's career unless Wes Johnson becomes a bonafide all-star.

We get younger and a shooter in Wes Johnson, obviously Paul and a serviceable C.

I love Wes as I'm a Cuse fan but he's nothing yet ... Okafor sucks and has a horrible contract ... CP3 is nice but not at that price.

Rubio/Ridnour
Ellington/Webster
Beasley/Hayward
Love/Randolph
Gasol/Pekovic

Minn gets Gasol to become their C and move Love to his natural PF position.

Minny might beat us out for the #8 seed in the playoffs! Hahahaha.

Jack/Blake
Ariza/Belinelli
Williams/Pondexter
Odom/West/Anderson
Bynum/Gray/Mbenga

I doubt NO would take Williams, they would probably move the pick to the Cavs for the #4 and future picks(could even swap Ariza with Varejo, etc) and draft Kemba Walker to replace CP3, leave Ariza as the starting SF (he is NOT a legit SG) and sign a starting SG in the offseason such as Wilson Chandler, J.R. Smith, etc.

NOH gets #2(Williams), Odom, and Bynum. Having Odom and West looks like an overload at the PF position, so I'd expect one if not both of them to be dealt to veteran teams.

You are secretly working for the Hornets aren't you, admit it!

[urinesane]

From the sounds of it the Wolves don't really want Gasol's contract, because they plan on resigning Love and Beasley in the future.

Odom bynum and #2 is way too much for NO. They would probably do CP3 for Bynum straight up, and if they want to bog us down w/ okafor's contract then we MIGHT take him off their hands for luke and fisher(buyout), or some other trash (blake), but you are kind of giving away the house to them for no reason.

You could probably rearrange this trade with the lakers you have included included to net us both cp3 and dwight then use the MLE on a PF

[KingLakers]

Alliright we need to forget about trading for Dwight, Paul, or Deron during the draft none of those guys are being traded before the new CBA because the new CBA may make it tougher for those guys to leave their current team. Looking at guys like Felton is more likely and Odom seems to be piece that will get a player like that Pau and Bynum will be back with the Lakers next year.

[what would jack bauer do?]

Ben Gordon for Luke Walton, Derrick Caracter, and Shannon Brown (he'd be crazy to opt out with lockout looming right?)

Detroit saves a ridiculous amount of money. Lakers get a bonafide pure shooter that can log heavy minutes. Gordon could definitely play point especially with Kobe being our primary ball handler anyways. Or we could slide Kobe to the 3. Gordon has been struggling with a lingering ankle the last couple years, but I think I read an interview sometime at the end of this last season that he feels like he's finally getting back to where he was.

Bottom line is Gordon is a steal right now and gives Kobe and Gasol a real marksman (sorry Shannon and ron ron) to kick the ball out to. He shoots greater than 40% from the 3pt line over his career and that's including the last two injury plagued years.

[what would jack bauer do?]

Oh yeah and screw giving up huge assets to get a draft pick. We need proven players for this next year. Gordon ain't a great defender but he atleast plays hard on defense. Our scouts do a great job in the second round. I expect Ebanks to earn a spot in the rotation next year. And we're probably gonna get some solid players to develop this year. From the sound of it Stone could contribute on defense right away which we need at pg.

It's going to take a lot more than straight up Bynum to get CP3. I just threw in Okafor because he's the best man we'd be able to get after trading away Pau and Drew. Plus it actually makes sense because NO sheds salary and can focus on a rebuild. I suppose maybe keeping Odom is a possibility but I'm sure that even Bynum/#2 would be able to net Paul. I just did a deal that I knew for a fact NOH wouldn't refuse.

BOTH Paul and Howard are not possible with our pieces, only one is obtainable.

[The Skyhook]

I seriously don't know why people think CP3 and Dwight is even a possibility. My only guess is the Gasol trade spoiled people's thinking.

[Jetset]

They expect half-witted deals to get them whatever they want, just because we're the Lakers. I think most people will be surprised just how much one of these stars cost us if we indeed end up trading for one. Especially Dwight.



Minnesota seems desperate to trade that #2. If they settle for Odom/filler then you have to take the safety off and pull the trigger as fast as you can. Then throw the gun into the ocean so there's no evidence to the robbery we've committed.

Then you go on to draft Brandon Knight and call it an offseason.

[SRSM]

Wolves give up Beasely, Darko, Webster, Hayward, #20 pick and the Utah protected pick in exchange for Pau Gasol

Lakers give up Gasol and Bynum in exchange for Dwight Howard and Arenas.

Orlando gives up Howard and Arenas in exchange for MN's #20 pick, Utah's protected pick, Bynum, Beasely, Darko, Webster and Hayward.

[hoops_32]

If Kemba Walker slips past #8 what do you think of a trade of Odom,Blake and #41 for #9,Tyrus Thomas and Diop? I would love to see this happen as I think that Walker is the 2nd best Pg in the draft behind Irving and is a proven winner. Thomas is still very young and athletic and has room to improve. Diop while overpaid would be necessary to take back to get the #9 pick but is a decent backup center. This trade would allow us to win championships now and in the future.

Walker/Fisher
Bryant/Brown
Artest/Barnes
Gasol/Thomas
Bynum/Diop

[Gek]

Why would LA do this?

[LApwnd]

HELLZ NO!

its not bad but highly unlikely, Walker is probably top 5 pick at the very least. Also I dont want Diop, I do the trade w/o him, he's horrible, dude is only a baller cause he's 7foot.

[hoops_32]

Why wouldn't we do this? We need a PG and Walker would be the best option. He is a great leader and scorer and would be able to contribute right away. What PG ou there would you rather have? Sure we give up Odom but we would still keep our two 7 footers Bynum and Gasol. We would also get back a very good PF in Thomas who is only 24 and will only get better. Diop has a bad contract but is a solid backup C. Would it be better if it was Walton instead of Blake?

Diop is FAR from a solid backup, he SUCKS plain and simple thats why he never plays, he's even worse then just 6 fouls which is actually beneficial but dude probably to dumb to even know how to use his 6 fouls properly. As for my reason I already stated, Walker isn't going to last till #9 so trade is pointless.

[hoops_32]

I said IF Walker slips not that he is going to. Every year there is someone that slips and all I was trying to say is that if he does slip we should try to trade for him.

[LAzPhenom]

here's a trade, Coach Brown is trying to convince lakers to go after Anderson Varejao, i dont like him but he could get the job done

Lakers Get: Ramon Sessions and Varejao

Cavs Get: Odom and Shannon Brown (SnT)

not a bad trade in my opinion, varejao is younger but not as good as odom, but at least we get ourselves a starting point guard

it also works on trade machine

[hoops_32]

I would only trade Odom for a good young PG. Sessions could probably be had for picks and our TPE.

When a star player tells mgt that they will not resign, and they should trade them while they can, the team will take less than fair mkt value (see pau for kwame brown+2nd rd pick marc, bosh S&T for picks and exemption, lebron S&T for picks and exemption, ray allen for wally west and pick, kg for al and theo). The team's other option is to wait till the player walks to LA like shaq and so many others have.

I'm not the one who came up with ridiculous idea of trading pau, bynum, and lo to be left with a front court of okafor, laundry, and DARKO (seriously come on is that even a playoff team?)...i was simply saying that if you are going to do it, you might as well get the best you can back.

If dwight tells ORL he's walking, you can bet your A that they are not going to get full value. And don't think for a minute that any team is going to trade the farm to get a 1 yr lease on him, ultimately its up to dwight in regards to where he will land.
