the cavs have 3 2013 first round draft picks and they're 17 mill under the cap so they can take a few players off the orlando's contract and if the lakers amnesties mwp, and blake lakers can take a couple of players from orlando as well

The Lakers can't amnesty MWP for next season because the deadline has already passed.

I still not satisfied with how our bench looks, still filled with flaws. No chips are coming until that's fixed period.

agree but come on, christ on a bike, we're about to finally get a superstar willing to stay for the long run and be the face of the franchise after kobe, something that people had concerns with regarding bynum, and you're not getting excited? :-?

the bench will come, i'm assuming we have to take richardson to make this happen? so that's jamison and richardson, and i'm still slightly hopeful that jordan hill resigns :pray:

even if not, then we have to trust mitch, if he unexpectedly landed nash, got jamison to sign on the minimum, and finally gets dwight here, surely he can come up with 2 or 3 decent bench players.

let him walk and tarnish his image.

I don't think that matters all that much. Let's just say GMs don't like being jerked around.

I was just happy to hear that Dwight is now cool with LAL because now it's all on ORL's FO to make a move and if they don't we will all know they've been full of (bleep) all along

Damn Dodger fans did something right for once. It looks like we might actually get them for sure this time. I hope his back is fine.

rudolph said this, and it makes zero sense.

if ORL didn't like LAL's offer enough to already pull the trigger, how does howard saying he'd extend with the lakers address that point at all?

i posted my thoughts on the interview before, but now i'll add this: howard's camp is getting word out to the lakers that they need to up the ante to get it done, they should have no more apprehension about possibly losing dwight. time to go all-in.

I still wouldn't give up Gasol though. We need him.

the doger fans should get the credit if this go through, they made d-12 fell wanted enough to make him want to sign the extension, as for drew if he wants to test the fa market its on him, but drew should sign an extension if he goes to the cavs, that will make everyone happy and that should make the cavs a playoff contender again

lakers signed AJ if they should sign JO with the MMLE they should be fine without gasol

You people really undervalue Gasol. The guy has the hands of a point guard. Him and Steve Nash will be like a Stockton-Malone combo.
JO is done. AJ is nothing compared to Gasol.
