The trade being discussed right now is Howard to Brooklyn for:

 

Brook Lopez

Kris Humphries

Marshon Brooks

 

And Brooklyn's 1st round picks in 2013, 2015, and 2017.

 

He's not worth all that.

Not worth all what? That's not a very good deal for Orlando.

I'm not so sure. I think TB can pull you out on the floor and drive on you.

 

Sad to say, but no, he can't...and he has no post game at all either...lol

Could this be a lose lose deal...Nets give up too much and Orlando don't really get anything either...haha

Better than not getting anything for him.

 

It is still not a very good deal. the picks would be okay but they will probably be late mid to late and not lottery.

I think they could wait till the deadline and get more.

He could tell every team he won't sign an extension with them and they would get nothing for him. He could have or fake an injury before the deadline as well.

Orlando is better off letting him leave after this year and going back in the early portion of the lottery for 2 years.

If you're the Lakers and you've got the enigmatic Bynum and an aging Kobe why wouldn't you offer Bynum for Howard? The only reason I could imagine is the fear of him not signing after the one year.

Could be that. Bynum and Howard are both crazy with questionable attitudes.

 

I'm not a fan of Howard demanding to be the man in LA. He can take crap to the Nets as far as I am concerned.

I think Andrew Bynum would entice me more as an owner. I think this guy just started putting it together this year. I think we've seen what Dwight Howard is. Not that what he is is bad, but he has virtually zero offensive skill. He's an athletic freak that will get you 20, 12 and 2 on average.

 

Bynum is a couple of years younger in age and more than that if you look at wear and tear with minutes played. This was the first time he was featured as a focal point in the offense. He averaged a career high 35 minutes per game and produced just under 19 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, which is roughly equivalent to Dwight's career averages. Dwight's career highs are 22.9 pts, 14.5 boards, and 2.9 blocks.

 

There are questions with Bynum. The two biggest are his health and his maturity. He stayed healthy this season, so that would seem promising going forward. He was up-and-down at times, often directly related to his involvement offensively. So, if I'm a GM that wanted him, I could easily convince myself that he'd be happy on my team because he'd be a centerpiece offensively, and because I wouldn't have Kobe Bryant dominating the ball. In a 7 game stretch late in the season with Kobe sitting due to injury, Bynum averaged 23 and 14. He's got real skills in the post and he can shoot FT's reasonably well (70%ish). That means he's not a liability in late-game situations, but rather a huge asset.

 

Plus, I think Bynum has more potential to improve. I think he can polish his offensive game, improve on his FT's, and step it up defensively. I don't see the upside with Dwight. He's been in the league for 8 years and is basically the same guy.

 

That said, Howard is still a max guy and any team lacking an impact star player would be crazy not to want him, but I don't see any team ever winning a title if he's their best player.

 

If you swapped Howard and Bynum, I think the Lakers would be a worse, not better.

Let him go, be bad next year and draft Nerlens!!!

I don't know. I'd take Howard over Bynum at LA if Howard wasn't insisting on being the Alpha Male in LA. Bynum is such a headcase that it wouldn't be as bad as it seems if Howard and Bynum switched teams. Bynum is a three point shooting, sulking when he doesn't get the ball, cash the check mentality type of player and you know you're getting that. Howard is getting on my last nerve but when he gets to the Nets he'll still be the best big in the league with Bynum not far behind him at all.

I feel like Howard's attitude this season, and his insistence to be the alpha male puts him in the same class as Bynum's sulking. In the past, when Dwight was viewed as a nice guy, team player, etc., I think that would have swung things in his favor. But now, I don't see much difference.

 

My view is that at least with Bynum, he's only now emerging into a centerpiece-type player and he's only 24, so there is hope that he'll still mature.

I hope Bynum matures also. In LA. And stays healthy.

I hope Mila Kunis comes to her senses, breaks up with that chump Ashton, and moves down here to be with me.
