The Hornets are near a deal to send Chris Paul to the Lakers for Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom, league source tells Y! Sports.

Lol wtf would we do for a center if that happened. Gasol for D12?

[DeadlyDynasty]

Goddamnit

[Monostradamus]

Your biggest strength was the stacked frontcourt, now that's gone Chandler-less 2012 Mavs > Lakers still

I even feel bad for Mr. & Mrs. Kardashian & the girls.

Bang up job Laker nation.

It's Pau, not Bynum.

[Pelicans78]

Isn't Okafor part of the deal to match salaries?

[Nathan89]

Makes the Lakers more beatable to me. Like Mono said the strength of the team was the front court.

Doesn't Kobe need people with a high shooting% to offset his? You only get that with bigs.

they made this move because they want howard in 2012 also.

[Sportstudi]

Talk to me after we sign Howard.

How? Do you really think Orlando would swap Howard for Andrew "glass knee" Bynum?

Edit: In case you're trying to lure him to LA now.

And even if you try to get him next summer, with KB, Paul and Howard you will have serious cap issues. No bench at all.

Source confirms @wojyahoonba tweet that rival execs being told by New Orleans that Chris Paul is headed to the Lakers.

Since NBA owns the Hornets, does that mean Stern just gifted CP3 to the lakers?

Sounds famliar. Same story like in 2007/2008 when Gasol was gifted to the Lakers for a bag of chips.

[Banzai]

Even though CP3 is a Laker...Lakers pretty much have 1 knee big left....tbh..if the Lakers don't get any PF that was Pau or Odom like..this season for them will be..interesting...

Shooting percentage goes up with Paul getting people easy baskets.
