Hypothetical IND-LAL

[Gremz]

This is an idea that probably wouldn't go down from an Indy rebuilding standpoint but is done from a Value standpoint

IND in: Bynum, Brown, Odom LAL 08 1st
IND out: JO, Harrison, Granger

LAL in: JO, Harrison, Granger
LAL out: Bynum, Brown, Odom 08 1st

This would bulk LAL in defense and add two new scoring opttions, one of which has tremendous upside. For Indy it starts complete rebuild around a young big with plenty of potential, not saying it should or would happen, but is this where the deal would be settled???

[Boneman2]

That is certainly a new twist. You'll have both sides upset.

[dockingsched]

teams don't trade players like andrew bynum for that.

[Gremz]

I figured as much, but like i said it's not a trade that WOULD go down, i'm simply trying to see what (if any) ground can be found to accomodate a Bynum-JO based deal, simply experimental

[Patterns]

Bynum for JO? Are you kidding me? There is nothing on the Pacers I'd trade Bynum for.

The only players I'd trade Bynum for are in Cleveland and Orlando.

[celtspacers]

No thanks from the Pacers. Bynum will never be the same. Will not trade granger.

[warren weel im]

Trades like this never see the light of day. You see, what some trade fans do not understand is that teams almost gamble a lot in order to get good players from picks. Now that they do, they just trade them away?

For instance, Seattle. While Ray Allen may be paid max money, keeping him would mean better development for Kevin Durant. Why? Because the pressure would not be all on him. KD would have a legit player to look up to for leadership and you would not be placing your hopes on a 19-yr old that played only a year of college. Its not that he's not that good, coz he is, but the leadership and grit isn't there yet. So Seattle trading a legit Superstar in Ray Allen and getting ONLY Jeff Green, Delonte and Wally back is a HUUUGE gamble on how good Green will become.

Indiana in your suggestion loses its prime player in Granger who is in the plans by 2011. Dunleavy, Tinsley, Murphy and co. will all be gone.

Lakers meanwhile, risks losing its 2 superstars. When Bynum goes out, now that Kobe "trusts" him, Kobe will follow suit and opt out in 09 because he will then see that management is a mess.

Its a waste of time and space.

Dude if I were you I would go into hiding as of right now. Thats if your still alive. As a Lakers fan I'm just gonna overlook this trade, but other Lakers and Pacers fans might hunt you down.

[moocow007]

When did Andrew Bynum fall into the same class as Dwight Howard and Lebron James? Talk about getting carried away. Holy cow.

[hermes]

o man
your treading thin ice here man


lakers are not going to trade bynum

I guarantee you any player not named lebron or dwight that gets mentioned in any legal working trade gets shot down by LA. Go ahead, tell me who is Bynum level in terms of ability+upside+need. Go ahead.

I can tell you who's not at his level. Two guys. Dwight Howard and Lebron James. Mentioning Bynum in the same breath as Howard and James is a joke regardless of how much Laker fans might like him. And Bynum is a extremely promising young player but saying that he's in the same category as Howard and James is insulting Howard and James...and most fans with half a wit.

[dockingsched]

no one said he's on their level. they said they wouldn't trade bynum for anyone other than those two, they didn't say that they would actually expect the magic/cavs to agree.

[xSABOx]

a deal that the two teams should agree on is...

O'Neal, Daniels

for

Odom, Brown, Farmar, 1st RD

[moocow007]

DanTown is nobody? He just said that only Howard and James match Bynum's value in terms of "ability+upside+need". Other than ability, upside and need, what else is there to compare players?

[LeQuitterNotMVP]

Larry Hughes, yup.

[smoothdave1]

Is Bynum a young prospect? Yes

But is he a Dwight Howard or a young Shaq? I don't know. He has a few good weeks and is out for 2+ months and you'd think he was the second coming of Wilt/Kareem/MJ/Bird/Magic/Shaq. Let's see how he does when he comes back and how long it takes him to get back to his old form and whether or not he's looking for the contract extension.

[vincanity1]

Hell no Bynum will not go to the Pacers. Quit dreaming.

[chatard5]

Lakers aren't trading Bynum and Pacers aren't trading Granger (unless they can get a current star to pair with JO, in my opinion. And that is just b/c we have another youngster in Shawne Williams who is also a SF, but we can tweak it so they can both start in a couple years).

no duh. we're saying those are the only two players that are better than him in those 3 categories, therefore, we'd happily trade bynum for them. you try to make your team better, not worse.
