I know right? And then get Durant somehow and then make them sweeten up the deal and include Westbrook also. :thumbsup:

There is no one on the Lakers that can get D12 the ball. Dwight wants the ball and D-Will can get it done.

Kobe 30
CP3 for 14 starting
Get Dwight to resign for 14 starting(we will have his Bird Rights wont we?)

Cap could be close to 60 by then

Its remotely impossible..

You have to take into account Blake's contract then, and the current free agents that LA signs now. Unless LA is willing to throw in the towel until next season, productive players such as sessions will not be taking 1 year deals. Then on top of that, you have to expect Dwight and Chris to take a rather larger paycut.

What can happen is a S&T revolving Pau Gasol next season with the Clippers if Paul demads a trade...

nah i'd trade Pau to Houston for Royce White, Kyle Lowry, and maybe Kevin Martin? I don't like Scola at ALL lol. We need depth and some shooters. Get Dorrell Wright whom Golden State doesn't want anymore, TPE for Beasley and let's go to work!

Or is this a bad idea lol?

Only disagree on 1 thing, Pat Patterson is the Houston PF we need to target. If Mitch can get Royce White too even better.. Shard for the minimum would also be a really good fit with Dwight now that it won't cost 200M to pair them up

How is Pat Patterson? I haven't seen him play much is he good? I said Royce White cause he's like this point forward, poor poor man's Lebron. I think brown could use him kinda like he used Lebron a lil honestly.

Lowry/Sessions or Blake
Bryant/Martin
Metta/Wright
White? Or whoever (still needs to be addressed)
Howard/Hill/Sacre

Good line up? or no

Dallas is considering this too: Take a step back, clear cap space for the summer of 2013 and chase free agents Dwight Howard and Chris Paul.

Royce White is not the player you think he is, he is more Lamar Odom than LeBron.

Honestly, if im LA, I just trade for him even without an extension, yet.

Let's be real here, where is Dwight going to go if he makes it to 2013 Free Agency? Is he really going to walk from LA to DAL? To Brooklyn for WAY less money?

Funny to see Laker fans rip other players about not being loyal to the team that said player was drafted by if they leave. Yet if a superstar has the possibility of going to LA, the loyalty crap goes straight out the window. :lol:

Rudolph said it on NBA TV.

Clippers cannot outright sign Dwight Howard so in essence you have to look at it as Cp3-Howard-Dirk or Blake-Cp3...

It makes the most sense (Howard to LA Lakers), from all perspectives. Shoe deal, winning team, etc.

My take on Dwight likelihood 1) Nets, 2) gap, 3) Lakers, 4) Hawks, 5) Clippers/Mavs, 6) Sixers/Other - I guess Magic should be in there too

Kobe or Sessions could get Dwight the ball. He's so much more athletic than Andrew the passes don't need to be as perfect because Dwight can adjust to the pass far better than a guy like Bynum can. Also, if Dwight comes to the Lakers the Clippers won't be the only "lob city" in LA.

It would be one of the greatest moves by a GM in NBA history. 2005 10th pick Andrew Bynum for 2004 #1 overall pick Dwight freaking Howard! OMG!

Howard wont want go to Blakes team. Spotlight and what not. It's different because they're both bigs.

If the Nets make that move on Ilyasova I'm not sure they can take on the same amount of cap crap.

Remember - the Nets have a hard cap only if they use their full MLE - and agreements were made to be broken

Pau has regressed the last few years. Don't think the Lakers FO feel confident giving him all that cash, the way he performed the last 2 years in the playoffs.
