Trade deadline over. Anyone want to revisit what you thought

Ok no soft stance answers. Hard stance answers only.
Here's the deal, with the trade deadline fastly approaching. Take your hard stance on what you want & don't want to happen and/or what you will accept in its place. Not what you think will happen but what you want to happen.
Here's my 1st hard stance. I don't want Gasol or Bynum traded! Our front line is what is our signature dominance.
What I would accept is if Pau had to go, its either for D Will or the proposed Scloa & Kmart trade because it would get us a rugged 4 & a scorer.
Drew, only for D12 straight up & that's it!
Pick up Sessions & Beasley & we become the favorites in the West.

I want a PG capable of attacking the basket at hitting an open 3.
I want Ron Artest to play like he did against the heat.
A backup Center wouldn't hurt.

if Gasol and Bynum leave, I better see a pretty elite PG and D12. People may LOL at this but honestly were essentially giving up bynum odom and Pau if we make a blockbuster move.Forget how hes playing, we would be giving up a huge chunk if we give both our bigs for d12.
BYNUM for D12 straight up..fillers will prob be necessary but not pau.
Quite honestly, We can use a PG at the right price but im not looking to kill this team to get one. Id rather keep this roster if were going to have to give up core players. If not then upgrade with sessions would be nice and that should do it for this team.

I'd love Bynum+picks/fillers for D12. Don't think it will happen.
Equally love a PG better than a Felton without giving up Pau.
I'd be ok trading Pau if it makes a deeper, more offensively skilled team.
I'd definitely take Beasley too, easily

What I would do.
Bynum for Dwight swap
3 way trade with Houston and Orlando. I don't have a problem with trading Gasol and Bynum for Howard if we are able to get Scola in return to play at the 4 alongside Dwight.
If Dwight Howard is not a possibility then I would like to see the Lakers hold onto both Gasol and Bynum and pursue a young point guard and/or small forward.

Ankle breaker, these are my exact stances as well. I'd only trade Pau for a top 3 pg (Dwill being the only available), and Bynum only for D12 straight up, and I'd rather we pick up sessions & beasley. If we don't pick up sessions I strongly prefer we get arenas for vet min over anyone else.

You want to keep it real so here it is Bynum and Pau aren't going anywhere and the SF position will remain the same the only thing i see happening is the Lakers maybe adding a backcourt piece. Sessions, Harris, Felton, and maybe Mayo he's my personal favorite but i guess we'll see in a little more than a week.

Bynum for Dwight Straight Up (+/- fillers, no taking in toxic contracts, Bynum is the 2nd Best Center in the league, with no question about it. If the Magic fail to take that deal then thats on them. We are good either way. They would be completely incompetent to turn down Bynum.

Pretty much
Bynum for D12 only. If not use picks and TPE to grab Beasley and Sessions.

Forget about Dwight.
Trade for Sessions.
Trade for Beasley.
I think we'd have a realistic shot at the finals.
