NBA Season 2012-2013

Gasol & MWP for Iggy & ???

Elton Brand wouldve been alright, but Mavs have snatched him up ;)

[Windigo]

I'd rather lakers keep bynum & Gasol.

Magic have expressed they don't want Bynum & now Lakers would have to ship Bynum to another franchise & then see what the magic want in exchange.

[Jay]

Magic need to swallow their pride and just take the best offer available for Dwight. The Brooklyn ship has sailed...so whether it's from the lakers, rockets or even hawks...just take the best offer and end this dwightmare

[Windigo]

Atlanta Hawks are out of the race for Dwight I'd think.  :-\

[RiOtChEsS]

That Mavs team is power poor in a world filled with Big 3's now, total bandaid situation after Deron fell thru and therefore DH12

Nash is great but he isnt going to be great at The Lakers unless Kobe lets him...  ;D as if, gimme the ball get out the way :-X

Anyone chasing Howard is mad, he is coming off back surgery and wont sign an extension...

Magic front office r cooked should have taken The Nets deal it was and will be their best offer.

[Windigo]

Nash was recruited for being the main ball handler & to get Kobe etc open shots. That way Kobe won't be making that many shots as last year....Well you'd think that anyway.  ::)

"Is he really going to choose those inferior situations just because he had a bad phone conversation with Kobe Bryant?"

So D12 have a blue with #24. That's why he doesn't want to be in LA.  :P

3-way trade rumour

Howard > Lakers
Bynum > Cavs
Varejao & draft picks > Magic

[Windigo]

That'd be good.

I think Howard is edging closer to go to LA.

He'll make them an instant ring contender.

Nash, Kobe, MWP/Jamison, Gasol & Howard.

But if the Dwightmare continues, then Lakers will say STFU & look elsewhere to shore up the bench etc.

[/u]3-way trade rumour[/u]

Howard > Lakers
Bynum > Cavs
Varejao & draft picks > Magic

would love that to happen. Irving and Bynum would be dangerous

[Jay]

A key factor in this trade is Bynum. And he doesnt want to go. Dont expect a deal done in the near future

[Windigo]

I read that he would be happy to go anywhere?  ???

[Jay]

I read that he would be happy to go anywhere?  ???

haha. I read he didnt want to go to Cavs and they havent even spoken to him as yet

[Windigo]

Lakers are looking at a 3 way trade with the Cavs like you said.

Its becoming apparent that Lakers will acquire Dwight I'd think.  :-\

In Howard's case, he has one year left and can add three more worth about $68 million. If he waits until July, he can re-sign for a five-year deal worth $108 million.

So he can be traded to Lakers for one year & then say STFU & test free agency and get 108 million.

[Jay]

I read rumours somewhere that he would extend his contract if he went to Lakers...his agent still says he will test the 2013 free agency.
