How about Bynum and Farmar for the rights to Rubio, Love, and throw ins? Fixes both teams needs

I would do it in a heart beat if I was the Wolves. Not sure I'd do it if I were the Lakers. Think the Wolves get the better end of the deal. Besides, Bynum is a base year player this year making him difficult to trade. There'd have to be a lot of other pieces to make this happen.

Chad Ford never ceases to amaze me.

Bynum is more efficient than Al offensively, and on the defensive end it is not even close.

And this is where you and I stop seeing eye to eye.

Pau is a very good high/low big man and Kobe is one of the top 3 scorers in the NBA. I guarantee that if you put Al Jefferson on that team and you put Bynum on this team that Al would be the more the efficient scorer by a large margine.

Al's defense got better LAST year. THIS year he's playing through his recovery, which is why his numbers dropped on both ends of the ball. He clearly did not have his leg strength and explosiveness back yet, and unlike some people I saw Al Jefferson improve in leaps and bounds on D last year. I think you guys are simply mistaken about how bad his D was last year.

I want Jefferson on this team. He like's being here, and he likes being a go-to guy. That wouldn't work for him in LA. And I don't know if Bynum would like to be in a small market.

Based on fit, I like Big Al in minny too. He may not have ideal size, but his defense is good enough as long as we get a 3rd defensive big man to help out when we are in trouble.
