Both sides have concerns, however, as both Howard and Bynum are going into the final years of their contracts. Neither team wants to move their All-Star center for a player who leaves after one season.
Andrew might be more likely to accept an extension but to date, as often reported by HOOPSWORLD, Howard has resisted a move to Los Angeles.
Should the Lakers attain Howard, they would still continue down the path of moving Pau Gasol for depth at a cheaper dollar.
The other team in LA, the Clippers, are about to sign Blake Griffin to an extension and center DeAndre Jordan can block any trade until December. While the Clippers certainly have their eye on the situation and some interest, the organization is moving forward as if they’re out of the discussion.
looks like Lakers still plan to trade Gasol
I hope not. Gasol and Howard would be unstoppable.
