You can't trade them both for Howard.
I too would like to trade Pau for a potpourri.
Now I know Bucher has only like a 30% success rate with his "reports" ...but I have heard similar things through other channels ..
From Bucher: Problem as I hear it is they are on slightly different pages. Mitch wants to hold onto Pau and see if they can package him with Bynum to get Dwight. Buss wants to move Pau now for help/depth and thereby also eliminate the chance that his pet project, Bynum, goes anywhere. That's the unofficial buzz.
To see more
Not sure what we should do I think Pau + bynum is too much unless we get Anderson or Red in addition to Turk tbh, but I do know we aint winning a le in the next 2 years as built so Mitch needs to do something.

So who could the Lakers get for Pau that would improve them?
Let me ask you this. (BTW, i agree Cully)
which lineup is better?
PG Fisher
SG Kobe
SF Turk/Barnes
PF Anderson
C Howard
or
PG Fisher
SG Kobe
SF Barnes/Artest
PF Pau
C Bynum
I'm with Jimmy Pau and Bynum is too much but the flip side is we get out of Pau's contract. But Im sure they won't want to give Anderson and McRoberts is not a good fit next to Dwight we would need a stretch 4 ...

pau and bynum are both very good low post players. with bynum and kobe hogging the ball, pau has been reduced to a jump shooter. the lakers need to trade one of them for sure.
The problem with both lineups is that Fisher still starts. Give me D12 and Anderson though. Dwight is easily the most dominant low-post presence in the game and Pau is getting older and expensive. Anderson's flourishing alongside D12, and he's just 23 y/o.
Youth movement.
it'd never happen but Pau for Rondo, would you do it LakerFan?
Also, landing D12 would pretty much make us a lock to get D-Will next year.
Yes, as long as it isn't at the expense of a D12 trade.
Getting Howard is all that matters
I'll take pau + Bynum for Howard + pieces like red to fix our bench.
I'll. Play trade machine:
Pau Gasol
Steve Blake
for
Josh Smith
Kirk Hinrich
With Horford going down for a while, Pau would be stabilizing force for the Hawks frontcourt. And I think when Horford returns, they could be a very tough challenge for Chicago and Miami with that size up front. Lakers get a really good talent in Smith while allowing Bynum to be an even bigger focal point offensively. Plus they upgrade the PG position as well.
Edit: I didn't realize Hinrich was still out. When is he expected to return?
Buss must like sucking on those manboobs.
I'd do that. I love Rondo.
lol if they want Howard LA gonna have to wait till after ASB.
Fisher has to be one of the guys traded, imo. He's another TOSB.
LAL wouldn't trade Fish just like they wouldn't trade Walton
Bynum and Pau for Dwight?
That's too much IMO
Just like Pop won't cut Bonner's minutes.
trade would be OK, not great.
Hinrich hasnt been healthy in 1.5 years ...
SMith though younger faster and more athletic has never been a reliable jump shooter and Bynum/Kobe needs a stretch PF 4 better spacing.
Not a chance in without cap space.
The Lakers have to trade Gasol though; he doesn't look like anything close to the player he was in the triangle. While Bynum is no Howard, Bynum+Gasol is way too much to give up for Dwight unless the Lakers can't get anything interesting for Gasol alone.
Cap space schmap space....multimillion dollar tv contract covers that imho
You think the richest and most arrogant owner in the league is going to gift the Lakers a sign and trade? In the year he moves to Brooklyn?
This is hilarious. Lakers shouldn't even have both if Stern was doing his job and veteod the Grizzlies firesale
