Hmmm.... young point guard who can get me good shots or over the hill shooting guard who never passes the damn ball? Tough call tbh.
Big market. Dwight/Deron >>> Amare/Melo. That's a start. Not that I see that happening, but it's not like NY is some world beater either.

Exactly
Plus they can't use the Phil Jackson card either
He ain't lost over consecutive Junes.
This is simple. If your the Magic
- Trade with Lakers for role players (good luck beating Heat or Bulls) AND you have to watch Howard compete for le
vs
- Let Howard walk and he takes PR hit. Get a Griffin/Rose in the NBA Draft
If you're LA do you give up only Bynum or would you give up Bynum/Odom/Cobbler for Dwight?

Well that all depends on what the Magic are asking for.
Like I said, Is brittle Bynum and Odom enough to defeat Heat/Bulls?
or are you better off drafting #1 and building around that player? Another Howard, Shaq, Webber
+ Orlando holds New's "PR hit card."
tee, hee.
Seriously
You trade Howard: Fans are pissed & you have to watch him compete for le at the team you traded him to
You left Howard walk: Fans take anger out on Howard
The Magic aren't like the Lakers/Spurs where they have a clock ticking. Why not draft a Griffin? The fans would fall in love
so who exactly would LA trade?
The price is steep, 3 options
A)Bynum
B)Bynum & Odom
C)Gasol & Odom & scrub/draft pick
If I'm Magic, I do neither. If I'm Lakers I don't offer B.
I don't see why Lakers would give up their WHOLE front line for Howard. Dwight isn't Shaq/Duncan or even KG
No way Orlando:
- takes Gasol and pay over 50 mil for Arenas, Turkoglu and Gasol till 2014
- takes Bynum without extension. With current deal Bynum will walk away same year as Howard
No way Lakers:
- make enough cap space to sign Howard via FA.
No way Howard:
- takes less money only to play with old Kobe
Good call Polska
Unless the Lakers can trade for Bynum straight up (they are the Lakers after all) or throw in some fillers/draft picks, they shouldn't do this trade.
They shouldn't give up Gasol because neither Bynum or Howard could play PF, and Odom is too versatile to give away also. That ty bench would just get tier.
