I was hoping the #7 or 9 would be enough to keep Roddy. No matter who we trade with this summer, that's the first name that's going to come up.
no way.
but donnie is just stupid enough to do that.

u do it for the lulz
Brendan + Roddy >>> Bynum
Our willingness to include Roddy in trades this summer may depend on whether or not we land a star player. I could very well be wrong, but without including Roddy, I think we're looking at 2nd tier players. And depending on the player, I might be alright with that.
Maybe we could do Butler & top ten pick, future 1st, and JJB for Granger. (their in need of PG, and JJB is almost as effective as ford at half the price).
Kidd
Roddy
Granger
Dirk
Haywood
Edit: Maybe throw in a future 1st as well.
What? No LeBron in the starting line-up?
Not sure what you're getting at. Is Granger not feasible?
Beasley for Haywood and the pick sounds good.
Wait. Bynum is a star player?
We have been missing an underachieving pot head ever since J-Ho left.

You get youthier too.
He's one of the best centers in the league. As a Mavs fan, you should know that teams rarely go anywhere without legit centers (Boston being an exception, as they have 3 big bodies that play legit D). Controlling the paint has been a big reason for the Lakers success the past decade. A top 2 or 3 center in the league OR a tier one talent at the wing are both acceptable to me. I think Roddy may be an all-star at some point, but you obviously have a much higher opinion of him than I do.Wait. Bynum is a star player?
In the end, I may not do the deal, but it certainly isn't laughable. Roddy's hard to include in a deal, I get it. He has a very high ceiling and loads of potential, but Getting Bynum (when healthy) would immediately make any team significantly better.
I think you just have a much higher opinion of Bynum than I do. Honestly, I dont think the gap between Haywood and Bynum is that big.
A legit center/top notch shot blocker AND a top ten pick for Beasley? I hope your joking.
I'd swap his lazy ass for haywood straight up. I'll pack his and drive him to the airport myself.
See, mike. This is what Lakerfan thinks of Bynum. This is why im laughing at your Roddy+Haywood+top 10 pick trade.
Sons tbh, only a small fraction of laker fans in this site realize that bynum is a no good lazy injury prone bum. It's even worse on laker sites, where he is apparently the next "franchise" player for the lakers.
Almost as bad as spur fans thinking parker is a top 5 pg.
Although I would do Haywood for Bynum straight up for sure.
Sons I would do bynum for you straight up.

At least Parker had that one full good season spurfans call fall back on. 21_Bynums is over there citing a 3 game span in the middle of November to prove Bynum is a future HOF.
He has proven, when healthy, to be a dominant center. Problem is he hasn't been able to stay healthy. As I said in my earlier post, I am willing to give him another year to see if he can get past this injury phase.
I think you underestimate the impact of even a slight upgrade (though Haywood to Bynum is not a slight upgrade) at the Center position. The Center position usually dictates which team controls the paint. Besides the point guard the center position is the most important position on the floor because he has such a significant impact on the game. Controlling the paint dictates the stats that normally contribute most to the outcome of the game (besides generalities like TO's, fg %).... like points in the paint, 2nd chance opportunities, etc.
Bynum's also just 22 years old. If an unproven rookie that may or may not turn out to be an all star is the price of a dominant big man in this league for years to come, then it's something you should consider. Certainly not laughable.
That's one guy's opinion, most Laker fans on this board said no. So what?
And again, I'm not saying I would do it either. I'm saying that if that offer was on the table.... (not Roddy, Hayoowd, AND top ten pick... that was baited just to see if Laker fans were that dead set on keeping Bynum... and one was) I'd have to consider it. I'd honestly sit down and think about it, I wouldn't just laugh it off.... dominant big men mean a LOT in this league.
Haywood is good hence you see the Heat trading a future AS player in Beasley. The #10 pick is an incentive for a weak draft class. You're more than likely to draft a Shelden Williams, Bryant Reeves, Samaki Walker type of player in this group anyway.
We hold on to Drew. No question about it.
I'd hold on to him just one more year.
