Gasol for Dwight, Bynum for Rondo

[DFish]

Word from my source is that there are two big deals in the pipeline for the Lakers: one for Rajon Rondo and one for Dwight Howard.

1. The Laker-Celtic trade is rumored to look something like this: Andrew Bynum, Andrew Goudelock, 2nd round pick for Rajon Rondo and either Brandon Bass or Marquis Daniels.

2. The Laker-Magic trade: Pau Gasol, Matt Barnes, Devin Ebanks, 1st round pick for Dwight Howard and Hedo Turkoglu.

Expect the Lakers lineup to look something similar to this after the trade deadline:

PG: Rondo, Fisher, Blake
SG: Kobe, Kapono
SF: Turkoglu, Artest, Walton, (Daniels)
PF: (Bass), McRoberts, Murphy
C: Howard, Caracter

And Celtics left with oldies and no PG.
Thanks fella.

Word for my source is that your source was high as a kite when that was told to you.

[irondarts]

The Lakers cut Caracter.

That's only one example of a 1000 things wrong with this thread.

This just HAS to be true, right?

Should I go ahead and order a personalized Celtics Bynum jersey or wait until they just come out and avoid the cost of getting a personalized one?

[2LeTTeRS]

This deals don't even make sense. You really think it would take a pick along with the 2nd best center in the league just to get Rondo? Not saying Rondo is some kind of slouch, but his value is nowhere near that high.

The Magic would consider that over the Nets package? the Nets package is better than that future and now. Celtics win the Rondo for Bynum trade too. imo especially if they give Daniels instead of Bass.

I'd rather have Bynum over Gasol if I'm Orlando, but if it were between Gasol/Barnes/Ebanks and an injured Lopez and injured Marshon, I'd choose the Gasol package.

you lost me when you said Bynum/goudelock and 2nd pick for Rondo...now if Ray Allen is coming back I might consider it

Why does Orlando want Pau instead of Bynum? no idea

I don't buy these trade rumors, but I do know that Orlando management has said they want veterans back in a Howard trade. Gasol is definitely a veteran over Bynum. And I think Boston would want the opposite. Young players with upside instead of more veterans.

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

if thats the case then once Howard is in LA why not trade 4 Deron Williams instead of Rondo?

Deron spreads the floor atleast and with Howard gone....Nets will gladly accept Bynum

this would pi$$ all over Mark Cuban's plan...lol

Don't know, but perhaps if we really wanted to think about this the trade going down as a 3 team deal would make more sense. IE:

Lakers get Howard, Rondo
Celtics get Bynum
Orlando get Gasol, Picks, Bass

As in, perhaps the C's can send someone like bass over to the magic to help the lakers get howard since it means they get bynum

Crazy talk. They will never contend with the current team, Bynum and Pierce can do something this year.

In other words: OP is a *******, trade is total made up bullshit.

How do all teams get what they wanted? Why the hell does Orlando take BACK Bass months after trading him for a replacement at the 4, then resign Barnes, who they clearly didn't want to offer a nice enough contract in the first place in the summer of 2010?

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

Bynum is too injury prone. It would be too risky to trade our only good young player for him.

And Rondo/Bass is too much for Bynum/Scrubs

I forgot about Orlando's history with Bass and Barnes. Hmm. I think Gasol and bass gets them in the playoffs tho, dont you think? Thats all the owners might want, even if they DID give up bass for baby davis.. It was only to please howard.

Obv its under the assumption that Celtics WANT rondo gone and are looking for the best deal and Orl wants to take back veterans and stay in the playoffs... It's not about fair at that point, trades are rarely fair , its about getting the best you can get back to make a change the org. wants.

[Derka]

No they can't. They can't do anything with Pierce and Rondo either. Celtics fans faced a hard truth after last postseason...we're not contending for a title in 2012, barring a miracle that involves several plane crashes or everyone else getting injured. Bynum does nothing for us without a point guard who can run things effectively.

Losing Brandon Bass for Ebanks and Morris? Pure insanity.

This trade sucks for everyone who isn't a Laker, hence why Laker fans would love it.

Without a PG on the lakers bynum is good for 16 pts 12 reb, more touches on C's hes probably a 20-12 guy. Pierce can't creat for him like kob does for bynum?

If you're rebuilding, why would you want rondo who can't shoot over bynum who yes, is made of glass, but might actually be a franchise player ?

[AMISTILLILL]

I can't believe there's even doubt surrounding the absolute bullshittery of this trade rumor. The Lakers ROB everyone. They end up with the best center in the league and arguably a top 5 PG and give up nothing more than an aging PF who was probably on his way out in the next couple of seasons anyway and upgrade entirely at the center position. They lose NOTHING.

This isn't a ****ing video game. Jesus. :facepalm

LOL. Bynum is no franchise's franchise player. Ever.

Rondo's shooting 50% on the season. His 60% at the line is inexcusable, but we've dealt with that for years already.

Andrew Bynum is not the deal that Celtics make if Rondo is one of the chips.

[RazorBaLade]

Are you that stupid? Your trading good players one aging and the other injury prone + scrubs for SUPERSTARS. Why don't you understand that?

All I'm saying is the only time I see Pau and Bynum described as AGING and INJURY PRONE is in a thread where we want to trade them.

In any other thread its the best front court in the league, ex finals mvp, 20-12 guys on limited touches, they need the ball more, etc etc.

Nobody is saying they're not valuable trade pieces. The fact of the matter is they're not Rondo/Dwight Howard level valuable. Rondo is a game changer and Dwight is collecting DPOY awards like it's going out of style. A trade where those two come in and Bynum/Gasol go out isn't even remotely close to an even trade. It's just typical Lakers fan "everybody can sign here" mentality.

[RazorBaLade]

LOL. Bynum is no franchise's franchise player. Ever.

Rondo's shooting 50% on the season. His 60% at the line is inexcusable, but we've dealt with that for years already.

Andrew Bynum is not the deal that Celtics make if Rondo is one of the chips.

15 10ast 5 on 50%
16 1 13reb on 55%

One is a franchise player but one is not? And Bynum clearly has the higher ceiling and those stats are clearly better anyways

[Derka]

These "trade rumors" are obviously not going to happen, but lets not act like Gasol and Bynum aren't valuable trade pieces.

Valuable, yes. Rondo/Howard valuable, not by a f**king long shot.

[RazorBaLade]

Valuable, yes. Rondo/Howard valuable, not by a f**king long shot.

All stats indicate Bynum is better than Rondo or at least comparable.

Shove your stats. They're utterly useless. Stats don't measure the stuff that actually matters when a guy moves from one style of playing the game to a completely different one.

There's no way to use a stat to gauge how effective Rondo is with a ballhog like Kobe Bryant popping 20+ shots a night, just as there's no way to gauge how effective Bynum will be in a system with the Big Three, who will ALSO be forced to adjust their games to not having Rondo around running the show. Its not as simple as "Bynum's stats are better, therefore he's better than Rondo, therefore this trade makes sense for everyone." You know this but you're persisting on arguing it anyway cos, again, the Lakers get marginally better than everyone else.

I'm not saying Bynum is better, I'm saying that its close enough to where the question becomes what more does the team need. I don't believe Rondo has a higher ceiling than bynum, so if you're rebuilding you most certainly take BYnum over Rondo. Since the big 3 aren't as good anymore, you don't need a passing PG anymore than you need just pure scoring and defense. Pierce can be a point forward and Bynum is doubled down low every time so he will free up shots for KG and Allen in the same way that rondo did by penetrating. So you take bynum in either case of trying to win now or win later.

I'm just being honest, screw the trade. If I'm a celtics fan, there is no way Bynum would bring less to that team than Rondo does for this year and for future years.

Why would he lie in the other trade scenarios he claimed were realistic because of his so-called 'sources'?

the owners didn't want the trade, so Stern vetoed. Stop bringing it up

and i dont know how the lakers would pull this off, but if they did, what the hell was the lockout for anyway? Only three or four teams could even dream of affording howard, turk, rondo, bryant etc on one squad.

Not saying it is unfair, just dont cut the season short if at the end the result is the same

and the lakers' frontcourt is already amazing, asides from scoring at the 3 and solid pg play this is a contender, i think the lack of practice with Mike Brown and his lack of familiarity with his players has more to do with their "struggles" than anything

[AMISTILLILL]

no because i dont care for him...

...okay? Thanks for posting.

From Orlando, Fl.—
NBA All-Star Game week has all the movers and shakers of the sport in the same place. So it makes it a great place for rumors.

Here's the latest one on Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard coming to the Lakers, courtesy of Brian Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel.

The Magic send Howard, Hedo Turkoglu and Jameer Nelson to the Lakers for Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum. The Toronto Raptors are also part of the rumor sending Jose Calderon to Orlando, although no one is quite sure what would complete that part of the trade.

The rumor also has all this happening on March 1.

salary dump!!! We get NO ONE and BC FAILS AGAIN

if anything the LAKERS need calderon, way more consistent than jameer and a better shooter

[Kiddlovesnets]

This thread is just...
:facepalm

[Burgz]

there is a lot of wishful thinking from Laker's fans on this thread

Bynum AND Pau? Buss has already said he wont deal Bynum for Dwight and same with Otis Smith, what makes you think he will up the ante just to get Dwight plus fillers (including one of the worst contracts in the league in Hedo)??

I just dont see this trade happening the way the article says so

[gilalizard]

Word from my source is that there are two big deals in the pipeline for the Lakers: one for Rajon Rondo and one for Dwight Howard.

1. The Laker-Celtic trade is rumored to look something like this: Andrew Bynum, Andrew Goudelock, 2nd round pick for Rajon Rondo and either Brandon Bass or Marquis Daniels.

2. The Laker-Magic trade: Pau Gasol, Matt Barnes, Devin Ebanks, 1st round pick for Dwight Howard and Hedo Turkoglu.

Expect the Lakers lineup to look something similar to this after the trade deadline:

PG: Rondo, Fisher, Blake
SG: Kobe, Kapono
SF: Turkoglu, Artest, Walton, (Daniels)
PF: (Bass), McRoberts, Murphy
C: Howard, Caracter

Somebody slipped some acid into your chocolate milk.

And the milk was past it's expiration date.

My source (myself) tells me that Rondo's value to the Celtics is ridiculously high right now (maybe higher than it's ever been) due to their poor performance in the two games in which he was suspended last week.

They were horrible on offense and it was evident that Ray Allen and Pierce's careers would be over right now if they didn't have a great PG like Rondo.

They aren't trading Rondo right now unless it's for a super-star which isn't happening.

[DFish]

Things are brewin' now. Lots of activity. We might see some major trades as soon as the end of this week.

It's happening. Right now. Gasol is being shipped out first. Bynum surely to follow.

[Eat Like A Bosh]

Enough with fantasy already!

Your silly OP was laughable. It suggested that Rondo was more valuable than Bynum. Absurd trades dude.

Pretty sure he's the one who photoshopped it. Retarded regardless.

Either way, dude has some serious time mismanagement issues that need to be addressed. First making up stories about Megan Fox, now this.
