Lakers/Nets have offer on the table for Dwight

[G-Funk]

Lakers: Bynum, Metta & Fisher

Nets: Lopes, Brooks, Humphries & 2 1st picks.

Both for Dwight, Turk, Duhon

[Fiasco]

Nets would be stupid to deal all that for Dwight. Wow.

[teddytwelvetoes]

LA must have a plan for a starting PG (Sessions, Arenas, etc.). Duhon or Blake starting :roll:

[TheStarting5ive]

They need to just take the Nets deal and let this whole ordeal be over with.

[WeGetRing2012]

Trade Fisher :wtf:

Fisher needs to retire a Lakers and honestly it would be hard for me to see him play for another team. Lakers need to stay out of the Howard talks and get a capable PG>

[DirtySanchez]

Beat deal is for Bynum....problem is Howard will not guarantee to resign with Lakers.

[BlackVVaves]

I read the offer does not include Brooks, and the picks are protected.

And Lakers aren't offering for Dwight anymore, he's made it clear today he will not sign an extension there.

[teddytwelvetoes]

They need to just take the Nets deal and let this whole ordeal be over with.Would be amazing to see Dwight's Nets debut against the Magic in Orlando.

[outbreak]

If the nets deal is till on the table Otis needs to take that after Howards comments today. Even if we let Humphries and Lopez walk we still clear turk and duhon. I'm assuming that Lakers would have pulled bynum offer now?

[ImmortalD24]

Lakers give up too much. No thanks.


I'd re-consider this trade if you replace Pau with Bynum. Having the two best (and young) centers in the league would be epic.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

Lakers cannot trade Fisher.
No way.
Sit the dude at the bottom of the bench, but dont trade him.

[TheStarting5ive]

Lakers give up too much. No thanks.

What would you do with both of them?? Who comes off the bench?

[DirtySanchez]

Trade Fisher :wtf:

If they can get Dwight for Bynum then all good....after that get Sessions. Turk will be good at SF for Lakers.

[G-Funk]

Id deal him to NJ and take any assets they have. Let him suck with Dwill and trash around them.

[LockoutOver11]

Lakers give up too much. No thanks.

lmaoo the lakers give up to much ahahaha.

yeah no.

[bmulls]

This doesn't make any sense. The Nets are basically bidding against themselves

[teddytwelvetoes]

What would you do with both of them?? Who comes off the bench?Put Dwight at the four :pimp: :confusedshrug:

[Zackmorris]

If Magic were smart, they would take Nets package right this minute.

[bagelred]

We are in a weird world when Dwight Howard will NOT sign an extension to play in a huge media market, with perfect weather, with Hollywood opportunities galore, with the leagues most storied franchise, to play with one of the greatest players of all time in Kobe.

And yet, he wants to play in the cold, borough of Brooklyn (of all places, has he ever been to Brooklyn?), to be in the shadow of the New York Knicks his entire career, for what is traditionally been a joke of a franchise.

Is Dwight Howard that much of a child that he's letting Shaq's influence affect his decisions? :facepalm Dude's got problems...........

[DirtySanchez]

But all honestly I will be happy if Lakers just keep Bynum. Dude is balling!

[AlphaWolf24]

But all honestly I will be happy if Lakers just keep Bynum. Dude is balling!


yeah but it's hard for him to stay healthy..

[WeGetRing2012]

No way.

Exactly Fisher has done tooooooo much for the Lakers. And the fact that he took a pay cut to resign with us in 2010 instead of going to the Heat makes me respect him even more.

This.... It's the Nets not the Knicks. Like singing with the Mets when you could be a Yankee.

[DirtySanchez]

The better deal is for Bynum....they know that and are pushing for it. But for some odd reason Dwight rather go to the second fiddle team of NY.

[RazorBaLade]

please decline orlando

thanks

dont give the heart of our team for not even a pg which is what we really need

[Whoah10115]

LOL at the Lakers having the audacity to offer the bullshit of Fisher and ARTEST's contract.


That's the single most remarkable thing I've ever read, if true.


"Bynum not enough for you?" :roll:

[bagelred]

Like singing with the Mets when you could be a Yankee.

Well, that's not true. Mets have their own history, and Mets have a very loyal following here in NYC. It's about 50/50 split with fans in the city. Only nationally do Yankees have more fans.

[NBA2k-Monster23]

If I'm Orlanod I would do that deal. We also get MWP off the cap also. Even though I like Bynum I have to take Dwight >>>>> over Bynum all day.

So Fking True!!!!! :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

[ImmortalD24]

Both will start. Offense will always be a struggle, but with them on the court, you have a huge rebounding and defensive advantage. The Lakers would be heads and shoulders the best defensive team in the league.

Last I checked, rebounding and defense wins championships.

So I'm assuming Pau is gone in this scenario of yours?

[NewYorkNoPicks]

Hopefully he goes to LA, I don't want Dwight in the Eastern conference.

[Kingwillball]

Nets are being VERY Generous to offer what they are offering considering they can Probably Get D12 without Giving up anything in a few months..

[NBA2k-Monster23]

Why would Orlando want to keep Dwight on the East. Send him to the west then you wont have to worry about him like that anymore. Now if you send him to NJ you will meet him every year in the playoffs. Bynum, Artest, and Fisher is enough to get a deal done. I would even throw in a first round pick.

[mmsupra]

[All Net]

I think Dwight would rather them not trade for him.

Probably is enough now Bynums hasn't gone down with an injury yet. Fisher and Artest expire this season?

[talkingconch]

Looks like this is the first time we've seen where the Lakers have an offer actually presented.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

Probably is enough now Bynums hasn't gone down with an injury yet. Fisher and Artest expire this season?
no, but neither does hedo's.

[Zenji]

Keep Bynum, **** Dwight. Orlando has some serious issues if they don't accept the Nets deal and let Dwight go for nothing. GM should be hung.

[outbreak]

Should try and do the nets deal but make it a 3 way, send Humphries and Nelson out somewhere for a decent point guard/small forward.

[BlackVVaves]

Dwight will not sign an extension in LA. He's hellbent and being a Brooklyn Net, so whether this trade offer is true or not, he's not becoming a Laker.

Having his own legacy is important to him. Having a team that will be a force for his entire stay there, not some or half, is important too.

All signs point to Brooklyn. Just a matter of if the Magic get raped in the ass with a dick, or a dildo. Lopez and shit or, nothing.

[LA_Showtime]

Gasol for Dwight? :oldlol:

[Kobe681]

Indeed, very odd.

I think Dwight would rather them not trade for him.

The Net's should just wait and sign him in the off season and tank the rest of this season. (unless they already gave away their picks to another team).

D-Will, Humphries, Brooks, Lopez, Dwight, lottery pick in deep draft, etc.

That team is set...

Magic are f*cked..

[BlackVVaves]

Too bad too, because Bynum >>>>>> Lopez. But, it's not in Orlando's hands anymore...

[Alamo]

The Magic would have to be stupid to not take up one of these offers.

Nets are basically throwing their whole team out. Dwight is leaving either way.

They are offering 3 of there 4 best Players and 1st Rnd pick(s).. Id say so..

[Noof]

Howard doesn't even want to re sign with us, I would much rather keep Bynum.

[Sarcastic]

Why would Orlando want Metta and Fisher? If Peace becomes a Magic, he will instantly turn into the old Artest, and Fisher is completely washed up. At least in the Nets deal, Orlando gets youth and picks.

[FindingTim]

Howard doesn't even want to re sign with us, I would much rather keep Bynum.

Bynum is a legitimate offensive force, and he has made the Lakers somewhat likeable even to non-Laker fans. If they trade him for Dwight there will be a collective gag/vomit session across the country.

[Mr. Jabbar]

Bad trade for the Lakers.

Fisher isn't getting traded anywhere.

[G-Funk]

Dwight
Gasol
Turk
Kobe
Sessions


Looks delicious

And why do you think that is?:hammerhead:

If you have a bunch of garbage ass players that you owe money, OF CORSE you'd want to pawn these bums off on someone else.

Believe me, If the Lakers could give away Luke Walton for free, they would. NOBODY wants to pay for bad players. If you have bad players that are owed money, OF CORSE you'd get rid of them the first chance you get. The problem is nobody is stupid enough to take them.

The problem is you people keep saying "it's better than nothing". No. It's not. It's actually worse than nothing. Getting nothing and having extra money to makes moves with is far better than paying for bums that fill up your salary cap.

the nets package has 2 expirers and a rookie contract and draft picks and allows orlando to unload turk. That is better then nothing.

[Kiddlovesnets]

lol no way the Nets are offering a package as good as this, especially knowing the Lakers are giving the likes of Artest and Fisher along with Bynum. No Brooks for them and no Turkoglu in return, thats the basis.

[dab0yech0]

I dont know what I am more amazed at, Laker fans thinking the likes of Peace and Fisher make it a dealbreaker or the Nets throwing out every single asset to get Dwight.

[Kiddlovesnets]

Yeah thats so true. Nets wont make a trade offer better than the Lakers when they already have an edge over the Lakers that Dwight will sign an extension.

[dab0yech0]

Combined with the fact that Dwight Howard Nets shirts are already on the NBAstore, I really hope D12 to Jersey indeed happens. Can't wait to see a D-Will + Dwight Howard pick and roll. Im sure they will run it better than a stupid Cp3 Blake pick and roll.

[Nelson14]

That nets offer looks better everyday

[DirtySanchez]

I dont know what I am more amazed at, Laker fans thinking the likes of Peace and Fisher make it a dealbreaker or the Nets throwing out every single asset to get Dwight.

The lakers are taking advantage now putting meta on there because Bynum is the best deal. Someone wrote the Nets are offering three of their best players outside of D Will..... We all know that is trash. Byn is second best center in NBA who you can build around.

[strike]

all this needs to STOP.

he is going to the NETS! wether its at the end of the season for free, or via a trade. He does not want to extend in LA.

END OF STORY.

[Optimus Prime]

Screw Howard Id rather have Bynum who is beast mode instead of that drama queen. Let him go to the Nets like he apparently really wants so he can be irrelevant with Deron.

I'm a met fan. It's exactly like signing with the Mets, albeit Mets of 5 years ago as opposed to now. Nets/Knciks isn't as bad as Mets now.

I don't blame him for wanting Brooklyn. The "i can't go to LA and get yelled at by Kobe and be in Shaq's shadow", that's kind of pussyish. Preferring Brooklyn is just that, a preference.

[OldSchoolBBall]

Lakers give up too much. No thanks.

LMAO @ Laker fans. They want a lopsided trade. How is Bynum/Artest (useless) and Fisher (useless and the worst PG in the league according to Laker fans) too much for Howard (a top 5 player and best C in the league, Turk, and Duhon? :oldlol:


Lakers cannot trade Fisher.
No way.
Sit the dude at the bottom of the bench, but dont trade him.

Why not? Aren't y'all always going on about how he's the worst PG and possibly worst starter overall in the league? Thought so...the double talk from Laker fans is hilarious. They want to keep Fish so he can bail their asses out again time after time in the playoffs.

[J-Roc]

Something called loyalty?

[niko]

Nets will get him today sometime, the owner will talk to him, the trade will get made, Dwight will pretend he really didn't want to go but will leave tearfully, we'll all vomit at the fake sentiment and it will be done.

[Nash]

That Nets deal is great. You get Lopez who's a good and young center, you get Brooks who's a future star in the backcourt and you get Humphries who's a good squad player. That's as good as it gets for Orlando.

it's realistic value and Orlando would be foolish not to take it. Back earlier when more teams were in the mix and the Lakers were a viable option, it wasn't as good but now that Orlando has ****ed themself up, it's more than fair and if they are not finishing it now they are stupid.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Lopez, Brooks and atleast a first rounder are good but the Nets are confident they can rip the Magic off for as little as possible because they know Howard will be a Net in the offseason anyways. Humprhies though is too good and I would love to keep him.

It's hard for you to keep Hump regardless so i wouldn't worry too much. It's like the Knicks when we traded, Chandler was the one piece i didn't care because he'd have been hard to keep. To get Dwight in FA, you need to cut Hump anyway.

[Kiddlovesnets]

You know whats the best? We complete the trade with Humphries and then he vetoes it. This way the Magic will have no time to trade Dwight anywhere, and we get him in FA next offseason.
:lol

[Bosnian Sajo]

See this is how I know its fake, if Lakers are not willing to bench Fisher for a better pg we got on the bench (Blake), what makes you think they are willing to trade him? Common now, Kobe would be furious.

[Whoah10115]

Derek Fisher must retire a Laker, but to suggest that the trade sucks for the Lakers is incredible...the most stupid sounding trade of all-time and it sucks for the Lakers. Seriously, are some of the Laker fans here just trying to play up to the stereotype?

[niko]

Ford and Bucher both say their are deals on the table too.
