It sure makes your life easy if your franchise is in NY or LA. You have to be pretty incompetent to stay bad for so many years like the Knicks did.
If he wants to come to LA (or NY) it'll happen some way somehow. I would do anything short of a Kobe + Pau combo for Dwight + fillers trade. Kobe's retiring with the Lakers so it'll be Pau or Bynum to Orlando + draft picks + fillers for Dwight and whatever.
