August 9, 201214 yr The deal I'm seeing won't make the Lakers better IMO. I agree. Pau and Bynum for D12 and Harrington...
August 9, 201214 yr Author I agree. Pau and Bynum for D12 and Harrington... I really hope that isn't what it really is. I like Harrington but not sure that makes the Lakers better.
August 9, 201214 yr Author http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--lakers--magic-in-blockbuster-four-team-trade-talks-to-send-dwight-howard-to-l-a-.html A deal is not considered imminent, but the talks have grown serious over the course of this week, sources said. There are multiple moving parts in the fluid talks, but the framework of a possible deal includes Howard and Denver forward Al Harrington going to the Lakers, Philadelphia guard Andre Iguodala going to the Nuggets, Los Angeles center Andrew Bynum moving to the 76ers, and Los Angeles forward Pau Gasol and Denver guard Arron Affalo going to the Magic, sources told Yahoo! Sports. The Magic would have a better chance of moving Gasol in another deal to get further assets, sources said, and eliminate the risk of Bynum leaving them as a free agent in 2013. Nevertheless, there was still a sense that Gasol's and Bynum's destinations could be fluid in the talks. Either way, one would go to Orlando and the other to Philadelphia, sources said.
August 9, 201214 yr I really hope that isn't what it really is. I like Harrington but not sure that makes the Lakers better. I can't imagine it would be. Like I've said before, the Lakers have all of the leverage in the world. If they don't get the best end of any deal, why make it?
August 9, 201214 yr The deal may or may not make LA better now, but as they are they aren't good enough to win a title. Getting Howard sets them up for the future by giving them a superstar to build around and attract other big names when the opportunity comes. It's a good deal for the Lakers.
August 9, 201214 yr My roommate is a Sixers fan and he is begging for this trade to go through if it means Bynum to Philly. Would be great for them IMO.
