I'm sure it won't, but that should end all the Dwight to L.A speculation. Gasol + garbage ain't going to get it done.

Course, they could be saying they're doing that deal just to prod other teams into making offers.

If Bynum/Odom for Paul is true, good for us. Gasol and trash isn't going to cut it for Howard.

what about Howard cutting down his turnovers too? but yes, i agree, our floor general needs to be a bit more efficient.

One thing's for sure, LA's assuming they can't get Dwight ..

NY signing Chandler, LAL trading away their "offer" for CP3. Well ESPN, where's he gonna go now? Milwaukee? :lol:

Unfortunately he doesn't make stuff up. He's actually legit.

That would be hilarious because that truly would never happen. I still say the Magic would have probably entertained a Bynum, Gasol, Odom, picks, cash for Howard, Arenas deal. Of course the Lakers would have never went for it.

Since Howard wasn't thrown to the wolves today, I'm starting to think he is going to stay in Orlando.

The deal's probably Paul/Okafor for Bynum/Odom ..

Can't believe it .. The Lakers get what they want YET AGAIN .. I'm starting to get tired of that team. Hornets are ran by the league? Nah, Lakers are ..

CP3 is a Laker. Holy crap.

Woj says correction, deal is Pau and Odom for CP3

Idunkonyou2 · Post #133 » by **Idunkonyou2** » Thu Dec 8, 2011 11:07 pm

By the way, I think that is kind of a lot for Paul. Yes he is a star PG, but the guy is also been a walking injury the last few years. Also you have to look at the Lakers landscape. They are basically banking everything on the future of Gasol and Paul now. Kobe is nearly done.

Woj, you MUST be wrong.

Correction: The proposed deal to the Lakers is Chris Paul for Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom, source says.

We're being trolled so hard.

Again, why the hell does any team want Pau?!?!

BelgianMagic · Post #136 » by **BelgianMagic** » Thu Dec 8, 2011 11:08 pm

It's Gasol/Odom, not Bynum ..

How can he confuse Paul with Bynum? Also if the Hornets are truly doing that deal, that is pretty pathetic and we all now know the league is fixed.

Essentially trading CP3 for Gasol :nonono:

Most lopsided deal ever. This entire time I thought NOH would want cap space and draft picks and young talent. This is the complete opposite.

The league owns the Hornets. We knew they would sell Paul cheap to any of the their 4 darlings (Heat, Celtics, Lakers, Knicks).
