Would you trade Bynum for anyone (realistic) except Dwight?

Ask me this after he goes down.

i would trade Bynum for a number of different players. id trade Bynum for an unprotected lottery pick this year as well.

Trade 1:Devin Ebanks, 2nd Round Pick for Rasual Butler
Trade 2: TPE for Leandro Barbosa
Trade 3: Bynum,Barbosa,Butler,2 1st Round Draft Picks for Howard and Turkoglu

Why for the Raptors?
Raptors need a SF and are a young team which means that Ebanks will have a chance to play consistant minutes and develop into a solid starter.

Why for the Magic?
Magic want veterans and get the 2nd best center in the league in Bynum and a good scoring guard in Barbosa to help them stay competitive despite losing Howard. They also get a couple of draft picks and get rid of Turkoglu's contract while picking up Barbosa's expiring contract.

Why for the Lakers?
We get the best center in the league and form the best big three in Kobe,Gasol, and Howard. The trade with the Raptors allows us to take back Turkoglu becuase Odom's TPE is too small. Turkoglu doesn't have a great contract but is worth taking if we can get Dwight. Turkoglu gives us a starting SF which we need and can do a little bit of everything. With this roster we can win another championship not just this year but the next couple of years.

Fisher/Blake
Bryant/Barnes
Turkoglu/MWP
Gasol/McRoberts
Howard/Murphy

i would move gasol for scola/martin if the opportunity presented itself.

I'd trade Kobe for D-wade, Lebron, or Derek Rose.

Yeah, I don't know why we didn't deal with the rockets once CP3 deal fell thru. Nothing against Pau, but they were offering alot.

I like what hoops_32 said, sounds realistic.

Watchin Lakers-Nuggets game and the monster game from Bynum, I started to think over. Not that
Bynum is better than D12, but let's imagine for a moment that Andrew keeps healthy and achieves kinda this level throughout the season. Wouldn't the Magic consider taking just Bynum instead of Bynum + Gasol? I couldn't believe Pau today, really bad defensive night. Lakers need more defense on the paint and that's what Howard could bring, allowing Pau to stay fresh for the offensive end and play more opened from the rim.

As a Magic fan,I think this is the most realistic deal:

Orl trade: Dwight,Turk
LA trade: Bynum,Gasol,Barnes,Ebanks,2 1rd
Hou trade: Scola,Martin

Orl gets: Bynum,Martin,2 1rd
LA gets: Dwight,Turk,Scola
Hou gets: Gasol,Barnes,Ebanks

Gasol and Blake for Diaw, Augustin, and Diop.

I'd actually hate it if we did this trade, we could get much more.

I thought the young point guard, backup big (think he has experience under Brown too), and do it all, expiring contract Diaw is a decent return for getting out of Blake's and Gasol's contract.

Who do you think we could get for Gasol?

I honestly think we could get Ellis for Gasol/filler. We'd probably have to take someone like Biedrins in return to make salaries match.

When I saw that, it seemed like Gasol's value really went way down. I think if Gasol is traded, might as well go get a 2012 pick added it. Would be easier to swallow to also build on the youth movement. Augustine never impressed me. I haven't seen him this year so my opinion could change on him.

His value has plummeted from his 2010 stock, but I still think we could get a nice return. Much nicer than Augustin and filler. And no lottery team is going to take Gasol, so if it were to be for a pick it would be a middle of the pack pick.

Doesn't have to be a lottery pick. Anything below 20 would be great since its a strong draft. Hell, any 1st round pick might do it too.

Trading Pau for anything other than assets that can help us win now just seems like a terrible idea. And trading him for a 15-19 pick is even worse.

I'm trying to think of Cousins trade scenarios, but none of them make sense.

i'd stop being a fan of the lakers if they traded anything more than luke walton for cousins.

I remember when Cousins first came out, people wanted to trade Bynum for Cousins straight up. Yeah, I really do hate our fan base sometimes.

DeMarcus Cousins wants to be traded from the Kings. Lakers need to look. Send them the TPE...And Dallas #1...
