    Wonder if Howard's interest in New Jersey was feigned to try to make it look like he wasn't going to force his way to the LA Lakers on the heels of the CP3 trade.

    Who ends up with Odom? New Orleans again? Remember how Odom took less to sign with LA? Loyalty rewarded!

    I'd offer Gerald Wallace for either of Scola or Odom. Either one can substitute for LaMarcus if he needs recovery time, and then play alongside him afterwards. And if Odom came to Portland instead of New Orleans, Khloe (or whichever one he's married to) wouldn't even need to move.

    Am I right in thinking that the Lakers keep Bynum but also get Okafor? Are they going to start alongside each other?

    I think Utah should send Millsap to New Orleans and get Odom. Utah has a real logjam at PF/C, and Odom is more versatile. Plus Millsap is younger and from Louisiana. And they make almost exactly the same.

    If the lakers get okafor, howard is the worst person to put next to okafor.

    Would the L*kers trade Gasol for Scola, Martin and Dragic?

    The reason I ask is, because if the answer is no, f*ck every talking head that says NO made out in this deal.

    NO is better playing CP3 for a year and letting him walk, or suspending him and fining him game checks if he pouts, than taking on 50M in long-term contracts for 30+y/o's who play the same position.

    Andrew Bogut @AndrewMBogut

    Someone explain to me what this lockout achieved? Other than the BRI split I see the same player movements/transactions as the past......

    Hahaha. From a player


    On a side note, I would throw pretty much everything at Milwaukee to get Bogut

    He is healthier than any center we have, but I am not sure I would throw everything to get him.

    This is what I'd love to see happen. 1.) somehow nj finds a third team to entice magic to give Howard. 2.) after that deal is done, then the Paul deal somehow gets approved. 3.) lakers immediately rescind on their offer.

    Now that would be justice.

    In search of young talent to acquire Chris Paul, source says #Lakers offer Pau Gasol to the Warriors.

    So I take it they finally realized that the talent HOU has is garbage so they are off to plan-b?

    I think it maybe more of getting too much salary back. I think they are still trying to go for Howard.

    Sources say Lakers will instead trade Lamar Odom to Dallas into Mavericks' new trade exception
