I don't hate Bynum as much as some people, but I'd much rather wait until the lottery to see if the Nets get the 1st pick. If so, I'd sit Dwight down and have a long conversation with him regarding the future of the team. If he won't buy in and all signs point to him leaving, I'd ship him off to NJ for that first pick and take Davis.
I would love to keep Dwight. This trade was just in response to the circumstance of us HAVING to trade Dwight. I didn't post this trade because I thought it would be an upgrade to our current team, I posted it in the case of us trading Dwight.
To Eyriq: I'm sorry but thinking Anderson is better than Lowry is laughable to me. Lowry is a great two-way player that can get to the line, shoot the 3 (and his shot is greatly improved, improvement and expansion of a player's offensive game is always a great sign), great rebounding PG, good distributor, and is a legitimate triple double threat. Ryan Anderson is a good shooter, solid rebounder, that took advantage of having Dwight Howard on his team.
In fact, I am so confident in Kyle Lowry being a better player (and having more potential) than Ryan Anderson, I am willing to bet my account that Lowry will be an all-star before Ryan Anderson. I would love for you to take me up on this bet, in favor of Ryan Anderson however.
Anderson will never be an all-star unless its a short year like this past one or all of the East bigs magically disappear. Realistically, he'll be the only one disappearing as showcased in the Pacers series. Then again, Lowry is in that same circumstance. Moving on to the Dwight aspect, if you believe thats the best value we can get for him then give me a noose and a stool. To even begin negotiations, I want at least a guaranteed top-3 pick , which is not something I see Houston being able to offer us. We would need to select our guy that we feel is the best fit to lead the rebuild. Back to the AD bandwagon, the Nets board seems completely ok with giving us Lopez AND the first pick if the lottery prevails. I think that would be a realistic proposition because I believe they'd be desperate enough to do it if you flash D12 in their face.

That makes perfect nonsense. 
And here's a little inside secret that only fans of the Rockets know (and has mentioned in every Gasol to HOU trade), the Rockets wanted the Gasol in houston to team him with Chuck Hayes and Nene. None would happen without the other so it didn't. This is just way too much for Gasol. Period.
