Gotta go with Randle. That guy's post moves are just plain gorgeous. Not sure about his D, but can't be worse than Parker's.

If Andrew Bynum hits free agent market, the Miami Heat would almost certainly be interested. Pat Riley may get another bargain contributor.

Of course why would THIS NOT HAPPEN????????

I agree 100%, it's amazing how polished his postgame is at such a young age. He is my coveted draft pick but Parker's been alright too.

If the deadline happens Lakers are fucked, but Cleveland has no pressure to accept that trade. They can just hold out and see what happens. Lakers need to move. Pau has been bent over more times than Faber by now.

i'll never understand it. MVPau brought that team to 3 Finals in a row, the main reason all these Laker fans signed up here, yet he approaches Rodney Dangerfield status.

He reported some kind of a trade for a pick going to New Orleans during the draft and right after he reported it Sam Amick tweeted that he talked to the owner and the owner said Kennedy was just making shit up.:lol

Going from living in LA to spending months in Cleveland:shootme:shootme

[DeadlyDynasty]

Whether it's done or not, the message is out...management has mandated them to tank.

[Katherine Robinson]

If the Lakers landed another pick and they somehow ended up with two top prospects, things would look interesting for them.

This is a pipe dream, however, as it depends on a lot of luck/fixing.

[HarlemHeat37]

The draft would be fixed for the Lakers to get the 2nd or 3rd pick, tbh..there would be too many conspiracy theories in today's NBA for them to get 1st..

CBS Sports is reporting that Bynum might still be traded to Utah for Richard Jefferson.


:lmao

[HI-FI]

so is Cleveland trying to make serious push for playoffs, therefore acquiring MVPau, or is this another way to hookup Lakers for NBA?

Either way, it's pretty clear Cleveland is shopping for a homosexual in return for Bynum.

[Baam]

If the Lakers get Embiid that would be disgusting... Hopefully they pick Blake 2.0 aka Aaron Gordon...

[Rogue]

Cuban should also go after Andrew if the rumors come true tbh. We need strength in the paint exigently and signing bynum would help us immensely in that regard. Currently our best big next to dirk is what? Blair or D:lollembert?

[AchillesHeel]

MVPau deserves to be traded to a playoff team. He's busting his ass off trying to bring this Laker team back to playoff contention(just like last year). If Lakers want to tank they have to trade Pau, he's the only player that wins games for this team.

[Rogue]

Lakers need to get rid of MVPau because dude's wrecking their Wiggins plan, but why don't they just cut him right away, rather than trade him for Bynum + trashes and waive Bynum? No way would the cavs trade any meaningful talents or picks for a veteran's expiring contract imho.

His "crime" is that he didn't want to tank, seeing it's a contract year for him... totally understandable, tbh

[DMC]

cavs doing whatever it takes to keep irving...

this clown is going to take the lebron route if cavs aint doing shit to build a good team around him...

Cavs aren't keeping Kyrie. He's going to a big market franchise as soon as he can. So whichever team overpays point guards, that's where he'll be. These guys are stupid enough (with piss poor representation as well) that they expect max money and title chances at the same time as if they are going to send a team over the top in talent. Instead, they should learn from Lebron; take less, get talent, make it back in endorsements, win rings.

[Rogue]

but there're niggas who play for nothing else but money, and those niggas would definitely take the teams giving away easy money rather than those where players have to earn their salary imho. And those guys ain't stupid as fuck and they ain't delusional. It doesn't take a doctorate's degree for them to know they wouldn't have any legit chance to win the championship, but they don't care that much about winning rings. Fact is, few teams have won the NBA championship since the post-Jordan era ever began, so for most players, they have realistic minds and would be satisfied as long as they get finely rewarded in the form of money. Maybe they'll coattail ride a stacked team and win several rings the Gay-Payton way, but it's gonna be a whole different story imho.

[Venti Quattro]

Looks like the deal is dead in the water. Cleveland will waive Bynum themselves

Hard to believe they can't get anything at all for him. I fully expect Bynum to sign with Heat, Clippers, or OKC.

Not sure the Heat have room.

[Venti Quattro]

Not sure the Heat have room.

They'll probably find some exception to use so that they could snag Bynum up

[DMC]

They are going to win it all anyhow, no need to spend more money. On the other hand, OKC needs a real center instead of Perkins.

[Rogue]

Mavs need a center too, I mean a center who can do a bit more than just clog the lane and grab some cheap rebounds tbh.

[baseline bum]

Miller?

Still on the payroll even after the amnesty.

[Jodelo]

Still on the payroll even after the amnesty.

Yes, but does it not count against the cap or does Miami still have no room for Bynum? Or he signs for the minimum?

[Rogue]

Either Bynum or Oden would be a HUGE upgrade over Blair/Dalembert tbh.

[Leetonidas]

:lmao

I would laugh on the inside if the Cavs traded Bynum to the Lakers only to have him bought out to join Miami and help Bron win another title. Dan Gilbert :lmao

[baseline bum]

Yes, but does it not count against the cap or does Miami still have no room for Bynum? Or he signs for the minimum?

Doesn't count against the cap nor luxury tax, but even with Miller cut they still have 15 players on their roster and would have to cut one more to make room for Bynum.

[Jodelo]
