i don't see any possible way we can land CP3 with:

Dwight
BBD/Anderson
Hedo/Harper/RWilliams/Q
JRich/JJ/Liggins/Hughes
Nelson/Duhon

they want youth and flexibility and nothing in our roster is young and flexible.

Nelson, Redick, Anderson and 2 1st rd picks.

Too bad we didn't still have Arenas. We could have gone Dwight/Hedo/Arenas/Duhon for Kobe/Gasol/Bynum.

Lakers board assumes that you will send Dwight and Hedo to them for Bynum and a couple worthless late first round picks.

Go ask Otis.

Our FO has already came out and said Lopez/picks wasn't good enough. Bynum/picks won't be good enough either.

In fact word is it will take 3 or 4 team deals and the Magic getting a ton of assets back to move Howard.

Lakers FO: Dwight formally requested a trade! Quick, cancel the CP3 trade! Clear room to take on Hedo! *Calls Otis* Hey Otis, Bynum/Gasol for Dwight?
Otis: We aren't trading Dwight this season.
Lakers FO: Uh... but he requested a trade.
Otis: Yes. We aren't trading Dwight this season.
Lakers FO: Oh ****!

Well, we DO have 10 guards on the team or so. Most young and cheap. lol

maybe some of our young guys would go agree to go there (i believe they are not tradeable without there permission as someone pointed out earlier) for playing time

RT @Mike_Bresnahan: Lakers will get the Mavs' first-round pick in 2012, maybe a second-rounder as well

Source confirms that Odom is gone "for sure," and Paul trade has fallen apart. Not for Howard, either. Source: It's a straight salary dump.

So if the Clippers trade for Paul and he doesnt resign and the Magic trade Howard to the Lakers would the Lakers have enough cap space to sign Paul next season?

Bledsoe is out for 6-8 weeks doubt he's traded

No. They are at 82 million right now, after trading Odom.
