Sources say Lakers have plans to go after Dwight Howard AND CP3. Everyone not named Kobe is available.

[DPG21920]

Spurs are going after CP3 and Dwight as well. Everyone but Duncan is available.

True story.

[pass1st]

I hear the Heat are looking to add CP3 and D12 to the roster, everybody with 4 quarters are available.

[Deuce Bigalow]

Why keep Duncan?

I'd keep Manu and Parker, and everyone else can be traded

Lakers Will Attempt To Acquire Both Howard And Paul

The Lakers will attempt to acquire both Dwight Howard and Chris Paul, according to sources.


In attempting to acquire those two players, the Lakers will make everyone on their roster available with the exception of Kobe Bryant.
The Lakers would almost certainly build one package around Pau Gasol and the other around Andrew Bynum.

If they land both of them I will forever be done with the NBA's bullshit (and I bet owners like Holt will be too).

I didn't say that when you guys "Tanked for Timmy" I soldiered through it :lol

[eric365]

CP3 / Kobe / Dwight is by far superior to Wade / Lebron / Bosh
But Kobe doesn't have a lot of year left at a top 10 level

[Halberto]

I didn't say that when you guys "Tanked for Timmy" I soldiered through it :lol

That's not similar at all.

[The_Worlds_finest]

its not going to happen....not unless the nba/lakers held a gum to the gms' heads

[Giuseppe]

If they land both of them I will forever be done with the NBA's bullshit (and I bet owners like Holt will be too).

You said the same thing when Gasol came West.

And again you said the same thing when Kobe stomped a mudhole in Duncan's shit bag 4-4 and you said it again when Kobe walked the self same mudhole dry 5-4.

You'll take it--and you'll like it--like you did when the Mavs won it.

[Sportcamper]

If they land both of them I will forever be done with the NBA's b. s. (and I bet owners like Holt will be too).

I doubt that they can land both of those players but I immediately thought of the Spurs and how ticked off Holt & Pop would be if this happened…That one year when the Spurs had bags of money & no free agent signings…

It is hard to compete with the Pacific Ocean & TV appearances on CSI…

[DPG21920]

They dont have the assets unless someone does something stupid, which can happen.

[Killakobe81]

Doubt it happens, and I prefer Dwight if we canonly pull off one deal ...

Not too worried about Paul. he is greatbut his knee bothers me, and If we get dwight others will follow ...

[pass1st]

Getting CP3 might not be so costly, considering who owns the Hornets and all

Not to bandwagon, but LALs FO can make magic happen.

[pass1st]

Tbh though

We would have no bench if this happened, it would cost Odom. Having those players might make more problems

[Killakobe81]

No, it wouldn't. Sometimes you have to take a step back, to move forward.

Though yes the lakers are a legit contender for a title as currently built, but they are no longer favorites. A team with Kobe, Dwight and Paul would not be favorites either but what do they lose? They would be contenders as well.

[Mugen]

Stern runs the Hornets and Otis Smith is still the GM of the magic. So there's no shortage of idiots when it comes to making the deal happen.

It would definitely be a flashy deal but not so sure its a huge improvement over the current laker squad. It doesnt really solve the problems they currently have (perimeter D, athleticism out on the wings). They'd lose Odom who is just as valuable as Pau/Bynum and D12 is nowhere near the versatile post scorer as Gasol is...

i think it'd be a lateral move as far as this season goes but a great move when it comes to the future and attracting other FA pieces to build around CP3 and D12.

[DPG21920]

Killa, are you serious? How would a team of Kobe Dwight CP3 not be the favorites. It's like Laker fan is scared Kobe can't cut it so they put in these ludicrous buffers.

[PGDynasty24]

I can see us getting one of the 2, not both. I would prefer Superman.

YahooSports: #NewOrleansHornets (http://twitter.com/search?q=%23NewOrleansHornets) not interested in @PauGasol in a trade for #ChrisPaul (http://twitter.com/search?q=%23ChrisPaul). WIll that change? about 9 minutes ago (http://twitter.com/AlvaroNBAMartin/statuses/144100987135725568)

With revenue sharing, gotta keep the big market money flowing.

[hater]

No buffer here. Kobe won it with with guys like Sasha, Luke, and Fartmar. Kobe is proven. Adding Howard and Paul will be like cheating.

all at the directions of Phil Jackson

Lakers don't need Howard what they need is a PG so they need to work on getting CP

[Giuseppe]

True, but, CP isn't a panacea.

I wouldn't let Bynum, Gasol, or Odom go for him.

[Muser]

Who would you like the Lakers to go after cubby?

[Giuseppe]

Who would you like the Lakers to go after cubby?

I don't have an answer to that, Muse.

I just foresee endless headaches with both Howard & Paul once they get out there. Howard mentally & Paul physically.

[Jodelo]

No buffer here. Kobe won it with with guys like Shaq, Fisher, and Gasol. Kobe is proven. Adding Howard and Paul will be like cheating.

Fixed!

[NRHector]

I don't have an answer to that, Muse.

I just foresee endless headaches with both Howard & Paul once they get out there. Howard mentally & Paul physically. if you get one of the two it better be CP, YOU WILL NOT GET THE 2

[Muser]

Obviously the first thing to do is to get Pau playing like 2009 Pau. Then the Lakers need a legit backup to Kobe and a starting PG who can defend.

[Killakobe81]

Killa, are you serious? How would a team of Kobe Dwight CP3 not be the favorites. It's like Laker fan is scared Kobe can't cut it so they put in these ludicrous buffers.

Where do I question if Kobe can't cut it? Crowning a team on paper is the same type of stuff that led to the 2004 Lakers implosion and the joy everyone seemed to take in the Heat losing in the finals. Would the Lakers be impressive talent-wise? Yes. But Kobe is on the wrong side of 30, Paul has had a knee injury and Howard is a DPOY but still a work in progress on offense. In theory, the Lakers pieces fit even better than the Heat's did ...
but there would be a shallow bench and if they got both probably a gaping hole at PF ...unless we take some bad contracts back. Brown though a good defensive mind is not PJ, Pop, Carlisle or even Doc Rivers. Though i have warmed up a bit to Brown, he is unproven in the biggest stage. Lebron added some pressure to the Cavs HC position but running the Lakers is a WHOLE nother level. So No, can't say we would be favorites ...but strong contender? Indeed.

[Giuseppe]

if you get one of the two it better be CP

All the machinations CP requires to execute his game (like Manu has to do now only CP has done it since day one) is something I don't want to have to bear witness to. I need somebody to make shots and assists, not spend an insanely inordinate amount of time baiting & switching with the refs and pissing off the opponents.
