    Nash and Kobe - Celtics West? That's one old backcourt!

    Suns will get multiple picks from the Lakers, had been talk earlier of two first rounders so my belief is that it is at least the two 1sts

    Would teams please stop helping the Lakers stay relevant for essentially nothing? Is Dwight Howard for Gasol next?

    Stay relevant?

    Perimeter defense has been a HUGE problem for the Lakers the last couple of years.

    This does nothing to solve this issue.

    All it really does is take the ball out of Kobe's hands. He kept breaking the offense last season.

    They need PG production badly. Blake was horrible and Sessions faded down the stretch. Nash isn't a great defender obviously, but he's going to get the ball into the hand of Bynum and Gasol much better than any PG they've had.

    The Charlotte Bobcats are preparing an offer sheet for restricted free agent Goran Dragic, league source tells @CBSSports.

    I have to believe the agent leaked that to get other teams to offer up more (which they will). There is no way Hawes doesn't get a better offer than that.

    I'd take Sessions here if he comes fairly cheap, with Nash goin to LA I doubt he wants to stay in LA

    Suns do get Michael Beasley for three years, $18M, per source. @ESPNSteinLine first.

    I would love Beasley on our squad! He would be great off the bench...... Bring some fire!

    I wouldn't expect his agent to allow him to leave an agreed upon deal. That's bad news for the agent and his other clients in the future.

    The Rockets offer an offer sheet that has that "poison pill" for the Knicks to ponder.

    Hindsight 20/20. If Portland knew this, their draft could have been a but different.

    How much opportunity he gets will show this.

    He's a backup, as he should be.
