1 of our intrepid beat reporters has to track down zeller and find out what he is doing.

Orlando would be renting Bynum, but do they know that? What else could LA give to Orlando that they would want? Bynum is better than the Nets deal, but not anything else. Maybe they are extremely high on Gasol? I doubt it though. Why are we even in this deal? It isn't like the Nets deal, where we needed to take a contract off their hands. Maybe LA is giving Gasol too? And we are taking on Hedo, JRich, or Duhon? Unless its an unprotected pick, no way am I taking on any of those 3, maybe not even for an unprotected pick.

I would really be shocked if the Cavs nabbed Bynum in this. Going from just a facilitator to grabbing on All-Star who is 24 years old? Talk about a big swing. You would think the MAGIC would be the team clamoring for Bynum in a big-for-big swap.

Except Bynum's contract is up at the end of the year and he might not be willing to stay in Orlando. It would be better for them to get picks/prospects that are there long term.

Of course we all know this will end up in nothing (as always...) but well... let the safari begin! :headbang:

Any idea of what we would have to give up?

I don't think Zeller or Waiters can be traded for a while because they signed.

Zeller cant be traded. Varejao, Thompson, cap relief, and picks are our primary assets here.

Jamison in a sign and trade would be preferable over sending them Thompson.

If we get Bynum, that Zeller trade is a waste.

Much rather have P Jones and/or Sullinger...oh well.

What's that saying about hindsight again...?

Can he not decide the same thing about Cleveland? I'm playing cautious on this one.

Re: Three-Way ORL Trade Rumor with Lakers and Cavs

Not surprised, sorta expect it. Wow, get Bynum here. Do it!

RCF Headquarters for tonight.

I guess there might be some truth to Bynum wanting to play in Cleveland since this is even being discussed by Cavs FO. It just makes a whole lot of sense, for all teams involved.
