I doubt the Lakers make this trade without being sure they are getting DH.
Doesn't matter much anyway, the Heat lineup might end up being Billups, Wade, Battier, LBJ, and Bosh.
After tomorrow we might have a two-team league.
ty move by the Lakers in my oppinion. They trade 2 of their 3 headed frontline monster for Chris Paul. Chris is awesome but they've gone from having the biggest and best frontline in the NBA to having just often injured Andrew Bynum on the frontline? Now the Lakers have the best backcourt in the NBA but if Bynum goes down as usual they are ed in the middle. So i think it's good for the other teams in the NBA.
Although i have been hearing rumblings they're wanting to dangle Bynum for Dwight Howard? Orlando would be stupid to do that they could do heaps better for him. But if that went down then we'd be ed lol. If that doesnt go down then Paul for Gasol/Odom is good news for the rest of the league. Good job Lakers

Well we definitely match up better with them now. We had no chance against that big lineup of theirs but that seems to be done with.
They have no one to offer outside of Kobe.
The Lakers would have an all-word guard tandem - as long as those knees hold up. And a good center in Bynum - again as long as the knees hold up... It would be all about the knees.
Orlando would not send Dwight out there for only Bynum and garbage. They could do much better as others have said.
Am I the only one who thinks Gasol and Odom and their match up nightmares are too much to give up for Paul? As great as he is...
No, I agree. And that's why I have a hard time seeing the Lakers doing this without a DH deal about to fall in place. If that doesn't happen, then this trade is pretty ridiculous -- in a bad way.
Don't see how Paul is gonna help with Kobe dominating the ball all game.
There greatest asset (their size) is now gone.
I like.
Wow. Crazy trade. Nice little team in NOH now, Dragic/KMart/Odom/Scola/Okafor, 6th Ariza
Yeah, if the goal is to be a perennial 7th-10th seed, with no shot at winning a playoff series.
How Rondo, Green, and two 1sts (one from the Clippers, top 10 protected) or Kaman, Aminu, Bledsoe and a 1st (Timberwolves unprotected 1st!) isn't a better package, I have no idea.
This looks as bad as the Gasol deal, if not worse. You've got the league owned Hornets accepting a package that makes no sense for them, helps out a big market team (Rockets) and the league's darlings/glamor franchise, the Lakers and likely paves the way for them to be relevant well into this decade after they acquire Howard.
The Lakers may not look great at the moment, but they will after they acquire Howard and Turkoglu. Say what you want about Turkoglu, as bad as he is, he's a clear upgrade over Walton/Caracter. And it's inevitable that a half decent veteran PF will sign their on the cheap as well.
It's not just Bynum dealing with injuries... Paul himself has a history of knee problems...
Big gamble for LA... I think Gasol was their difference maker. Now he's gone.
Manboobs and Metta World Peace, and they'll probably be able to shed Walton's contract in the process. The fix is in.They have no one to offer outside of Kobe.

Orlando is dumb enough to trade D howard to the lakers for bynum.
LOL Compe ive balance.
NBA owned team trades its superstar to the NBA's biggest market.
What a ing joke.
Word is Lakers may get Okafor as well in the trade.
Howard- Okafor- Artest- Kobe- Paul.... Really? The NBA is a cheat.
lol well that lockout was absolutely pointless.
As long as Okafor isn't involved this a ty trade for LA. Just traded away their strength, size.
Now if they somehow get Dwight too? Then the league is gonna be ed. Orlando has to do better than Bynum and scrubs though.
Also: LOL @ Mike Brown spending all summer modeling the LA offense after our twin towers.
Not sure how this a bad trade for the Lakers. You trade Gasol (31) and Odom (32) for arguably the best point guard in the league and he is only 26 yrs old.
fifyWord is Lakers may get Okafor as well in the trade.
Howard- Okafor- World Peace- Kobe- Paul.... Really? The NBA is a cheat.
If they get Howard.
Because they traded 7 feet and nearly 7 feet for less than 6 feet.
They're not.If they get Howard.
Doubt that's the goal? It's clearly light-years ahead of Paul/Ariza/Pondexter/Anderson/Okafor
I hope not. I don't think they should be able to with what they have left but in the NBA anything is possible especially for the Lakers.
