ESPN: Lakers looking to trade for BOTH CP3 & Dwight Howard

[QUOTE=Dengness9]the fact that so many people are taking this serious is truly embarrassing to me as an insane NBA obsessed fan.

There is no chance of this happening but yet idiots are gobbling up Chris Broussards BS like they always do.


As much as I love NBA rumors, I'm starting to get really sick and tired of this shit. Its not even funny reading how many Lakers fans on espn.com actually think this is happening.

Conceited is not even the word for some of these ppl.[/QUOTE]

Honestly, the math works out... especially if you start adding in a 3rd team. And it makes a fair bit of sense for all teams involved. It's very possible.

Plus... it's the Lakers.

[QUOTE=IGOTGAME]I just don't see Kobe/CP3/Howard meshing together personality wise. I could Deron/Kobe/Howard but I think CP3 and Kobe will have issues.[/QUOTE]

I really don't think it would be an issue. CP3 seems like he'd fit in well anywhere, and Kobe would keep Dwight focused and on point.

Kobe has been willing to share. It was only after the fact Gasol was stinking it, that he had to take it iin his own hands. The guy always try to dump the ball in for Gasol. but Gasol always dumps it back out.

Kobe and CP3 will find a way. They have mad chemistry. Watch the allstar game. These two on the same court is rediculous and undefeated.

I don't even think it matters. Paul and Howard are the type of players that are going to get theirs.

[QUOTE=niko]Kobe has a no trade clause. He'd never allow himself to be traded.[/QUOTE]

whos that in your avi?

[QUOTE=Lebron23]With Dwight Howard as the Batman of this team. Dwight was the superior player last season.[/QUOTE]

Kobe would still be the real leader of the team.

[QUOTE=guy]Well ESPN would actually consider him the 3rd best. But I agree. CP3's one of my favorite players, but he's gotten somewhat overrated since that series. I've been hearing debates about who should a team go after between Howard and CP3. I don't think its a debate. [B] This isn't 2008 and 2009 CP3 anymore. He's clearly declined. Its like people completely forget the time between 2009 and the 2011 1st round series.[/[/B]QUOTE]

you mean he was clearly injured lol @ declined....cp3 is probably better than ever now that hes 100 percent...please watch his games religiously before you come to conclusions

I agree.

CP3 I think is one of the top 3 PGs [I]in the world[/I] today.

If anyone thinks that Gasol for CP3 is an option for NO they are clowns.

Even if he's not back to 100%, with an offseason's improvement he can still go into a second prime. The injury and knee brace forced him to play from the perimeter more and he learned a lot of new tricks to set up teammates without getting in the lane all the time. People don't realize that CP may have been the least athletic PG in the NBA for most of the season last year, but still played at an elite level. He got them to the playoffs just by QBing, without beating people off the dribble.

Bynum is who they want....

If anyone thinks Gasol for Howard is a possibility they are a bigger clown.

[QUOTE=All Net]Bynum is who they want....[/QUOTE]
Then who are you playing for the better Dwight Howard? Pau? It keeps Orlando a playoff team but Pau is not getting any younger... why would Orlando do that? plus LA doesn't have picks... do they?

Dwight is the main focus so Bynum wont be traded there but doesn't mean the hornets don't still want him.
