    Jesus. Really? For BYNUM???? When Denver already has Nene?

    First the Gasol trade, then this? Please tell me that Stern isn't pulling the strings in the background... after all, his stated ideal Finals is "The Lakers vs. The Lakers".

    They were just in talks with NY for Wilson Chandler basically being the centerpiece. I'd say getting Bynum is a just a tad bit better than that.

    he's also an Oden jr as far as injuries go, and I'm sure they would have a Nene trade or even a Bynum follow up trade - Bynum to TOR for their TPE and 1st rdr? or Nene instead?

    As I said in the other thread, this could just be Denver trying to get some leverage to artificially increase Melo's asking price from NY.

    You can give crap and get studs if you are in the top 5 markets in the country. There's the real truth.

    if the new CBA does not change things so that this is dramatically discouraged thru cap limits or whatever, then time to find a new sport and team to follow

    Don't be ridiculous. Mayo isn't going to the L*kers; Chris Paul is.
