    ...on Christmas Day.

    Oh my God, that would make me upset. Most of the radio hosts thinks it's absolutely going to happen!

    I doubt Dwight will. There are reports that the Lakers and Hornets have had preliminary talks about a Pau/fillers for Paul deal and are expected to talk later this week. If the Hornets' want Bynum instead of Pau, reports are the Lakers' will give in.

    I thought Bynum was the "fillers".

    Are their radio idiots down there like our radio idiots up here, and have no clue how trades happen?

    Knicks fans and Lakers fans should compete over who can be more confident that Chris Paul and/or Dwight Howard is going to end up on their team.

    Is Chris Paul's gimpy knee the same one as Kobe's gimpy knee? If not, they can tie the bad legs together and have a three-legged backcourt.

    Why fight it? If that's where Dwight wants to go, I have no doubt he'll eventually get there -- either before Christmas, or before the Fourth of July.

    is anyone else getting the vibe of Pau+ to ORL, and Bynum+ to NOH?

    Bulls are rumored to be offering "pick 2 or 3" of anyone on their roster, except Rose, for Howard.

    If the Lakers are able to trade Pau (who they got for nothing and yes I'm still bitter) for Dwight Howard I'm gonna puke.

    I listen to LA sports radio when I'm there and they all seem pretty level headed. Who broke out the crack pipe?

    Both teams would be in re-build mode so I don't see how a 30-something Pau (on a max deal) and an injury prone Bynum make sense.

    Probably John Ireland. Dude's the biggest Laker fan boy and to make matters worse he has a job with the team.

    Exactly. And as MANY people have pointed out: the Hornets are owned by the NBA. If they trade Paul for anyone but a young star (or potential star, e.g., Stephen Curry) there will be blood.

    I say Howard ends up in NJ and Paul ends up in NY.

    Pau Gasol is not exactly chop liver. If the Lakers have to give him up they won't be improving too much in the recent future. Pau is the perfect Big who can play with Kobe on offense.

    It would be a good long-term move though, of course.

    I think retooling from K*be/Pau/Bynum to CP3/K*be/Howard would be monstrous. Better than the "Big 3"

    That's not to say it's likely nor I want it to happen.

    Here's the rumored deal:

    Fisher/Bynum/Odom for Nelson/Reddick/Howard
