This can't be real life.


Well, I'll be at the TGIF in Waterford drinking my sorrows away. I hate everything.

Yeah, seriously.

I can't help but feel that this has been fixed. The Lakers turn Kwame into Gasol, and then when he gets old, they flip him for Paul.

When Paul gets old, I'm sure he'll be flipped for the second coming of Michael Jordan. This sh*t makes me sick, I think I'm through until Stern retires.

Bynum/Odom I believe. Houston was in the deal, but they dropped out. If they would have stayed in, Gasol would ahve been going to Houston.



Wrong it will be the Houston trade. LAkers only lost "Out of Gas-ol" and old man Odom and get fu%$# CP3.

If the Lakers let Bynum walk next summer & trade away some of their small contracts, they'd have 32mil in capspace. So CP can opt out & share that capspace with Dwight

Let's all enjoy these last months of Dwight in Orlando :)


Actually Kobe and Paul would = about 46 to 47 million on their cap. That means the Lakers would have about 13 to 14 million IF they traded every single person they have on their roster away and don't pick up the team option on Bynum.

Not going to happen.

if it's Paul for Bynum, then i get it, and the deal is as good a value as they'll get.

if it's Paul for Gasol then the league is a joke and i hope they're able to stop the trade.

Do not trade Dwight to LA. Trade him for Brooke Lopez before you trade him to LA. This league is corrupt. We now need the Heat to save us from the new evil empire.

David Stern... is the biggest P.O.S. to sports the Earth has ever seen... that's such a terrible trade for Hou, and NOH can get better packages... what a gift to LA... again

But again... I'm still calling smokescreen... NOH is doing this to get better deals on plate from other teams

So if CP3 is off the table, how does that increase our chances of getting Ellis?

Updating a previous post, the Hornets are now expected to trade Chris Paul to the Lakers in a three team deal with the Lakers (Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol) and the Rockets (Kevin Martin, Luis Scola and Goran Dragic).
The Hornets are expected to get Lamar Odom, Kevin Martin, Luis Scola and Goran Dragic, while the Rockets get Pau Gasol. Done deal
