Official Speculation Thread (Pt. XXXII Off-Season Edition)

Screw Bynum. Screw LA. Screw Brooklyn.

Anything else... fine. Let's do it!!! I'm tired of being the Lakers Minor League team where we just groom our players for them to win Championships with. Shaq.... Ariza.... Now Howard? F dat!

[cvMagic]

if we trade for bynum we instantly become the least athletic team in the league. i'm cool with the trade but we need draft picks and young talent. bynum would keep us out of the lottery and it would be hard to improve

Other than Anthony Davis, there was no one in this year's draft class that even approached Bynum's talent level. Don't kid yourself if you think there was.
So... not really getting how a draft pick is better than a guy with two rings, tons of playoff experience, and hasn't even entered his prime yet.

[TDJacksonville]

it actually doesnt make sense for the wolves to be trading for Gasol unless they are trading Love to the lakers .

id be fairly happy with a Trade getting Pekovic, Barea, and a couple of first from the Timberwolves for Bynum and Duhon and watver it takes to make it cap work

They are the ones that have been trying to get gasol for a while to team WITH love and rubio

then Pekovic should be on the trading block . dude he would be perfect if its a 3 way deal where we can get Bynum and Peckovic

Pekovic would be a great insurance policy for Bynum and is more than capable Starter IMO

Be careful!

is that a serious warning?? I really don't know much about Minecraft other than you build stuff with legos. I did not realize it had any evil undertones...[/quote]





lol, no. I'm a Christian myself but those people are (Please Use More Appropriate Word).[/quote]

lol I hear you. I am a Christian myself and my son is very involved in our church's Youth Group. I was getting a little concerned for a second there! I watched that video and I was like..."Lego's are cult like??"

This is my biggest problem with a MIN/LA trade, neither one of them can give us a #1 this year as MIN traded away their #1 this past draft for Chase Budinger and the lakers just traded their #1 in 2013 and 2015 for nash so they couldnt give us a #1 for a LONG LONG time

[magicburt]

Howard to Dallas

Dirk to Lakers

Bynum to Magic

Thoughts?

Enough with Pekovic! You're the only one in the world who wants to give him a Max deal. Your obsession is ridiculous. Nobody gives an insurance policy for Bynum a Max Deal!!! Stop talking about him! Is this what MagicFan101 meant about you hating his experience at the ESPN forums???

This forum posts too quickly, but it'd be completely appropriate if Dwight was traded to the Lakers in the same thread numbered after Otis and Shaq.

[The-Dawson]

Unless its Pau and Bynum let Dwight walk because Bynum alone is worse than havin him walk

Lol every other team is making moves and getting better. Even the Raptors got a good player and Wolves signed Roy.

Never hear Orlando making moves or trades. Yeah Dwight is holding this up, but I have no reason to think it wouldn't be different if this weren't going on.

[RickB-Orlando]

since it is Summer, he plays it every waking minute. lol He plays it online but is always looking for other forms. What is the best way to play it?? I know very little about it.

Be careful!

And here I thought it would be tough to argue kids are better off playing with swords than with wands, but I guess I'm old fashioned.

Yes, totally off-topic. Apparently I'm going to hell anyway.

ur the one who was ALL over JTs Nuts and ur complaining about me wanting a Center whos actually good.

BTW he would be an RFA so he wouldnt have a Max deal till 2013 if then. all depends on wat he is offered. id pay him 10 million or so like we did GORTAT.

[Mule Tears]

we need to move jrich to la with dwight. turk can't be moved imo

Joe Johnson got moved. Hedo can get moved.

Just dang. Spooky.

[PeePee la Fritz]

Im gonna guess that if its a 3 way trade, its with the Twolves and basically involve gasol and Jason Richardson (atleast we can dump one **** contract) going to the wolves, derrick williams getting moved to either us or the lakers and Bynum coming (i wish there was a puking smilie on this site) to us

Bynum and Derrick Williams would be an awesome return for Dwight! Where do I sign up?!?!

no where. Lakers would get Howard & Williams....and probably Rubio/Love/Ryan too.
