LA entering the mix only gives the Magic more leverage. Who's willing to give up the most for Dwight?

If Dwight goes to the Lakers for Gasol and Bynum how good would they really be? They'd have the best center, an aging Kobe (who I would still take over almost any player in the NBA) and that's about it. With Dallas acquiring Odom for Chandler (basically) I still think they would be the favorites out West.

Lakers were plotting for both but have always prioritized Dwight Howard move over Chris Paul -- and were waiting for the right time on DH.

I really dont want Gasol and his big contract here. We need to flip him to a 3rd team if we are taking him back.

Ever think that NO is the 3rd team? We get Gasol/Paul/Ariza/Okafor, the Lakers gets Howard/Hedo, NO get Bynum, draft picks.

Serious Question: If L.A is out of the CP3 race and GS just offered Deandre 4 years/40 mil... who is left to legitimately go after cp3 other than the clips?

Not only that.. but it would be like giving LA a taste of their own medicine (Shaq left us... Dwight leaves them)... poetic justice

This is diabolical and crazy, but it's the only way Dwight can get CP3 in Orlando HAHAHA

It won't and it can't. If the league turned down getting the LA houston NO trade why int he world would they approve one that essentially sends them only injury prone bynum

How great a story line for Stern if he gifts us CP3 then when asked the 1st question at the press conference he just drops the mic on the ground and walks out the building and we never hear from him again.
