The art of passing out of a hard double is the most difficult to learn for a big man. It takes familiarity of the offense and impeccable timing because if the timing or the placement is wrong, the team will probably end up with a bad shot because there's just not enough time on the shot clock to set up another play.

It's unealistic to expect Bynum or even Howard to have this kind of court awareness at such early stage of their career.

plus his offensive game is overrated since he couldn't score on Gortat, Marc Gasol or Kwame Brown. Dwight Howard ain't shooting no 38% vs. those 3 guys

ThreeYearPlan has been wrong about absolutely everything and he still insists on making statements.

If Houston helps LA out again:
1. Lowry and Patterson ain't going anywhere. Just Martin, Scola and Dragic, maybe Budinger and T-Will also now with the emergence of Chandler Parsons.
2. Lakers would definitely get Scola, not Orlando. Doesn't make sense for the Magic to take Scola when they already have Ryan Anderson AND Glen Davis. Also, Pau and Bynum for Dwight is unfair for the Lakers, Scola would justify trading both.

I don't hate the Lakers. Only player I don't like on the Lakers is Pau for quitting on Memphis, Bynum's just overrated like if he's something more than a slightly better Elden Campbell. I love Mike Brown and Kobe

No, I don't think so. I remember 3 year plan and Ginobili flops posting in the same thread often during the lockout.

But yes, those are some diabolical haters.

LA is fine with Pau and Bynum. They need a proper PG to be in the race again, if they were ever out of it.

Ginobiliflops has more posts than ThreeYearPlan. Ginobili hates the Lakers with every fabric of his being, ThreeYearPlan hates Bynum and his above 9.8 rpg status.

They could get that from this trade. Lakers get a cheaper Gasol, healthier C, and quite possibly Dragic. I don't see why the wouldn't do it.

I know Dragic isn't anything you'd build a gameplan around, but he's still better than our current options. idk why Morris isn't getting any burn tbh.

3YearPlan is a Nets fan who believes that by downplaying Bynum, that ultimately will decide where to trade Dwight Howard as if Realgm members are going to vote...

Stop worrying about the lakers and focus on keeping deron in BK, lopez's injury which is extremely severe for a man of his size, and not being a mediocre franchise/small brother to the NYK...

Great trade for both sides if you ask me. No need for rockets.


so does this:

Lakers get: Howard and Hedo
Magic get: Bynum, Walton and EBanks

also picks and mild salary dump for the Lakers TPE

Howard is a good player for Lakers.

Did anyone hear ric bucher on sportscenter. Stated that when Dwight demanded trade, he and Kobe spoke via text messages about wanting to play together. Then Dwight questioned how much Kobe had left hence having jersey as his preferred team. So bucher is saying this is Kobe sendin a message to Howard. Interesting.

Lowry isn't going anywhere....everyone else is fair game though......i do think Dragic or Lee gets moved...i think the 3 team trade would benefit all teams

Ric Bucher is in the wrong business. That kind of screenplay reminds me of Usual Suspects level talent.

This actually crossed my mind as to why he's playing the way he is, but then I just figured he reads RGM and just wants to shut all the trolls mouths. Anyway it's Bucher, so we have a right to be skeptical. But it wouldn't surprise me if this is the reason he's playing like he is.
