Howard Thread III (Howard ready to join Lakers p.68)

[B Mac]

Just remember this, the Cavs have a lot first rounder picks stocked up at about 7 picks I think. They are legit threat to the favorite, Houston. If the rumored talks are materialized.

As a Cav fan I can concur. The Cavs have been stock piling a TON of picks and are actually really starting to build up a lot of young players as assets as well. I havent really thought about utilizing those assets and picks for trading for someone like Bynum, because frankly I never thought he would re-sign here, but his comments last week, along with Kyrie blowing up have really got me thinking.

Looks like we all just lost a lot of productivity for the next few days, huh?

Lol, yeah. It will be a reality if Dan Gilbert is more willing with the assets to get Bynum because he has a lot assets to offer just like the Houston do.

[inkyonroad]

I don't think Houston would obtain all bad contracts from the Magic, but it is probably the way they will win the Howard trade.

Bynum would play anywhere as long as he gets the max. Bynum does not get any endorsement deals. So where ever he can get the most out of his contract, he should be okay to resign. Having Kyrie and Bynum together would be great to watch and might be able to compete against the Heat.

The more size Cavs get in return like Big Baby the better. Miami is still very thin up front.

Who would've ever seen the day where the most vocal owner behind the CP3 veto would potentially help LA get Howard.

[Jetset]

I don't think Houston would obtain all bad contracts from the Magic, but it is probably the way they will win the Howard trade.

According to Aldridge, Houston only plans on taking one bad contract off their books and only one 1st rounder from this past draft to Orlando.

It can be beaten.

[alaskan34pac34]

The best deal I could come up with...

Lakers Get
Dwight Howard
Jason Richardson

Cavs Get
Andrew Bynum
Glen Davis
Chris Duhon
Quentin Richardson

Magic Get
Tristian Thompson
Anderson Varejao
Josh Mcroberts
Daniel Gibson
Christian Eyenga
Luke Walton
Multiple Draft Picks

I wonder what kind assets will Dan Gilbert be willing to give up to get Bynum. I think he should try to do anything just like Houston is because not many stars would want to resign in Cleveland.

Well, he wasn't getting anything out of the cp3 deal, now he can get an young all star center to pair up with Irving.

[inkyonroad]

I don't know about you guys, but I don't mind get pricy Anderson Varejao to us. He can be a pesky defender to back up the bigs. A good role player.

[77CSUN77]

then we have to give up pau as well

We are already getting Dwight lets not push our luck and get this one vetoed too.

true, that is why it is not going to happen

[Sofa King]

So how long will this crap take?

If I was Hennigan, I go back to Houston and see if they can counter. Hopefully something gets done in a couple of days.

Houston and Cleveland have a lot of picks. I wonder if Cleveland has better lottery picks to offer.

Seeing a Kyrie, Bynum pair intrigues me. Will definitely be a playoff contender. I'm starting to become a Cavs fan.

Not necessarily. We can trade MWP for Varejao. However, MWP will have a 15% trade kicker.

Dude that's being too greedy, there is no way cavs would trade Varejao for MWP. As far as I know, every NBA owners view MWP as garbage piece
