Woj: Andrew Bynum is top target for Dwight Howard trade

Basically Kings VS Devils, NBA trade style. I think Kings win with the Bynum offer.

Besides, why would the Magic want to see Dwight 3-4 times a year in the same conference? I think their management couldn't careless of what happened with Shaq to LA. This situation is completely different.

With the Los Angeles Lakers reportedly interested in making some moves during the off-season, there have been many names thrown around as people are trying to determine who they may or may not be interested.

One name that surfaced near the trade deadline last season was Minnesota Timberwolves forward Michael Beasley, who the Lakers were reportedly close to acquiring. Now, more reports have come out that the team is once again interested in the former number two overall pick. And, it also seems that the feels are mutual.

According to sources close to the Timberwolves organization, Minnesota General Manager David Kahn told team owner Glen Taylor that the team was interested in pursuing a sign-and-trade with the Lakers in July.

One name that the team is reportedly interested in is Jordan Hill – the backup big man who played well for the Lakers in limited minutes since being acquired from the Houston Rockets in March.

Beasley could help the Lakers’ small forward position, where they had some issues last season. With Matt Barnes not expected to return and an uncertain future facing Metta World Peace, expect the Lakers to consider this option if Kahn and Minnesota indeed come calling.

They already know thats not going to happen. The pre-draft Houston deal was as good as it gets.

I think its not all about the deal either. I think the Magic want to get Dwight off the Magic. If they go into next season with Dwight on the roster its going to be a nightmare. And in order to avoid this drama they will get rid of Howard.

Why would Orlando want the contracts of MWP and Blake when they're giving up the best player in the deal?

yeah, dont see that happening. I think Orlando has drawn a line in the sand, otherwise Dwight would have already been moved.

Bynum >>>>> Lopez & Humphries

Not even close. Lopez is a 20 ppg scorer, 50% career FG shooter, 1.5 blocks per game. He's 24 yrs old. He just has to work on his rebounding a bit.

Bynum is better than Lopez, but not by a lot.
