Now they are going after Howard. Gasol to a 3rd team. We get their assets, 1st round picks. We get Bynum, couple 1st round pick from the Lakers. This is probably what will go down IF Howard goes to the Lakers. We won't take just Gasol/Bynum/couple worthless 1st rounders from the Lakers.
Regardless of what LA is spinning, the NBA blocked this trade again.
Yeah, which is why I think the Lakers said forget. The NBA was probably saying "Throw in Bynum and we have a deal". The Lakers were like our entire front court for a PG with past knee issues? FU!
Now they are going after Howard with the same type of package they were going after CP3 with, except this time they will need to find a team who wants Gasol and is willing to give up 1st round picks, and couple of young players to get him. We would also get Bynum and the 2 1st rounders from the Lakers. A total of 7 players for Howard/Hedo.
I would take that deal, if we had no other options, meaning we exhausted trade proposals for Paul, Ellis, Iggy, etc. anything to get Howard to stay.
