Unless they get Howard too, then who cares? Congrats to them and all that.

My thoughts as well.
I'm guessing that Okafor will be included in the deal, but who knows.
PG: Paul
SG: Bryant
SF: Artest
PF: Gasol
C: ??? Okafor (?)
That's a very nice team, but I'm confident that the Heat can compete with that.

If its just Paul, I look at them as a worse version of us. If they get Dwight too, it's pretty much on for the next few years.

Oh wow, that's an even worse trade by the Lakers IMO. Gasol > Bynum, and again their frontcourt strength is gone.
I guess they could try Bynum for Dwight, but Bynum alone isn't worth it at all for Orlando.

If Bynum goes down again is that a 50 win team?

Do you guys think the Lakers would trade Kobe/Bynum for Howard if presented?

Damn, I thought Gasol for Cp3 was a bad trade, but that's a great deal for the Lakers.

I don't get why they would do this deal unless they know they are getting Dwight as well. Who will be their C the first few games when Bynum is suspended? Who will be their PF?
F*** I think they are going to get him somehow. All they can offer for Dwight right now is Bynum and then whoever their young/inexperienced guys are. That would be robbery.
If they don't end up w/Dwight I'm not worried at all - one less front court to deal with.
