Good points about Kobe and Melo being off the floor at different times, but do you trade Bynum away for someone who will dominate a second string?
If i am Phil probably not. But not for that reason Melo has tolearn triangle and his teammates in a few months...not ideal from a coach's perspective.
But as a GM or Owner you always maximize the talent, marketability etc AND of course ou want to win. Hard to argue a team of Pau,Odom,Melo,Kobe, Fish and Artest should NOT win ...
But its the NBA not 2K11 ...fit is important too ...
even though I feel you shouldn't be posting here but rather taking care of that bizarro kid of yours make sure you're here to deal with all the idiotic statements once we rang thrice...don't pull the ho move you pulled last June...you know tip toeing thru the tulips only to find Kool waiting to stand your ass up and hit you square in the ing jaw......

Kobe and Melo on the same team turns the triangle into a flat line...go for LA!
Actually, the triangle would support similar players better than most offensive systems. Nice try.
This would actually improve the Lakers offense. The delima is the defensive end and not having Drew as the backstop. Not sure if Pau could carry that load against the Celts.
Some of yall are dumb ... Pau Kobe and melo are perfict fits game/skill wise in the triangle because when Pau is hitting his jumper, they are interchangable in the "triple post" which is a staple of the triangle. IS there enough shots? not at the current pace the Lakers play but my guess is they would play more uptempo in that scenario ...
Again, Im not 100% sold onthe deal but I would still do it. To be great sometimes you have to gamble. GB drafted Rodgers a few seasons early to prepare for Favre's decline ...this is similar PLUS Lakers STILL have a chance to win THIS year ...even if it it is slightly less because you have to integrate Melo ...
Bynum can barely carry himself onto the court. He's easily the least reliable Laker in terms of health.
I'm going out on a limb and say he can't.
Pau can't.
No doubt as proven in 08. He has got a little tougher though... but not nearly enough.
Actually, I like keeping Bynum should it end up Lakers/Celts. If Miami comes out of the east, and i doubt they will, the Melo linup will be fine.
Melo would really love to see Kobe hog the ball.....
son, what happened to the sources?
Are the Lakers really equipped to run more?
They got killed.
Im not saying they would be Suns like ... but the Lakers play late in to the shot clock a whole bunch but my guess they would score earlier inthe clock with allof that scoring talent ...
Is it done yet?
lol "it's almost done"
wishful thinking?
LOL@ the defending champs trying to stack the deck again. What's wrong, bone on bone not getting it done?
"almost done"
If this happens, the NBA. All of these got super friend big-market teams and their booooooolllllshiet.
"Oh no, we might go one year without winning a ring. We must bring in another top tier player to compete with the small market teams who can never lure big names in."
I'd love to see Melo in LA with that trade scenario. Why?
1) If the trade happens: It screws up the Lakers already screwed up rotations. It affects Gasol, that will have less touches; Lakers would lose Odom, who has been playing great this season; Lakers would still have Bynum, which would affect even more Gasol touches.
2) If it doesn't happen: It may force the Knicks to do something about it, and when the Knicks are pressured, they do stupid things. I don't want to trade a Lakers dominance for a Knicks dynasty, just when Kobe is starting to show he is a mortal being. I just don't like it.
But more importantly, it would keep Bynum's crystal knees in LA.
I think Bynum and Oden join forces with Roy, to have the IRresistible trio of solid 1st week of the season players.

damn gonna miss Phil when he retires.
Here's another gem after the memphis grizzlies game.
