Re: CP3 to LA for Bynum & Odom

So that is how the NBA feels about small market teams, huh? The team that has dominated for a decade starts getting older, so the league-run team trades away the best point guard in the NBA for an overrated aging sixth man and the Sam Bowie of the next generation. Nice message sent, Stern.

That is the 1st thing I thought about too, WTF!!!

Re: CP3 to LA for Bynum & Odom

Interesting.
Do the Lakers now play Gasol at center or do they make a play for Varejao?? You know Mike Brown would love to bring him to LA.

Apparently Gasol is a part of the deal, so unless the Lakers plan to play a Hornet at center for them, that may be impossible.

Edit:

@WojYahooNBA: Correction: The proposed deal to the Lakers is Chris Paul for Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom, source says.

C'mon Lakers, make the trade for Dwight and troll the fuck out of the Heat until the Cavs are ready to step up to the plate.

You know how some antique car enthusiasts buy "parts cars," just so that they can keep the show cars running?

New Orleans is the rusty 1973 Jaguar Series III E Type V12 Convertible that has been sitting in a hillbillies front yard for a decade.

Why do we watch the NBA again?

Re: CP3 to LA for Bynum & Odom

I hope NO is trying to flip Gasol and Odom for something half way decent....man thats rough for them.

The lakers lost their strength of the team - Size; I'm not sure this makes them better, of course if they get Howard, game over.

Does Mike Brown give the cavs a call for AV? It would have to be a 3-way deal, as the lakers have no value to trade the cavs.

If the Lakers get Andy, I might have to stop watching the NBA.
