To put this into probabilistic perspective...
Dwight to the Lakers is at least [B]93.80%[/B]+ chance right now.
Paul to the Lakers [B]before [/B]signing Dwight is only around a 44% chance.
Paul to the Lakers [B]after [/B]signing Dwight is around a [B]83.77%[/B] chance.
It's happening.
Kobe would be the third best player on that team.
:roll:
[QUOTE=YAWN]Bynum + filler for Dwight
Gasol + filler for Chris Paul

Can the Knicks afford to sign Deron Williams next season if this goes through? :oldlol:
Knicks are :wtf: right about now.
[QUOTE=lakerfreak]This wouldn't happen unless the lakers added a lamar in the mix.[/QUOTE]
My source does say Odom and Artest will more than likely be included in the trades.
Look for Turkoglu and possibly Ariza to be in play as replacements. Ariza probably willing to take pay cut.
[QUOTE=lakerfreak]which is why if the lakers wanted Gasol for Paul, there would have to be significant changes to that deal (i.e. add Odom).

Or a third team who is a borderline contender would send picks & young talent to NO to add Gasol and become a contender.

How? Ariza is not a free agent. Plus he is still bitter towards LA.
kobe winning 3 more titles as 3rd fiddle will push him above jordan....
ahahaha

I know you won't give up your "source" but may i ask why he is a dependable source of information? What connection does he/she have to the nba world?

And what would THEY get in return from the lakers?
[QUOTE=lakerfreak]This wouldn't happen unless the lakers added a lamar in the mix.
Bynum for Dwight can happen straight up because Bynum's value is still high considering he performed well last season without being injured much. The lakers will have to pick of the two most likely. Pau Gasol, a man who has played in the league for a very long time, is now at normal trade value, in a few years he will be deemed "old", which is why if the lakers wanted Gasol for Paul, there would have to be significant changes to that deal (i.e. add Odom).
Even then, the hornets would probably still reject that. The lakers don't have many young attractive pieces to pulling this off, and if they did pull this off, the team will have a completely new identity. Say goodbye to the supporting cast of Bynum, Gasol, Odom, Artest...and maybe even more...
Seeing that there is a new coach with a new system, i guess identity changed a while ago.[/QUOTE]
I would trade Bynum/odom for D12/Hedo(take bad contract) give Magic 25mil expiring contracts
3 way trade for CP3
Pau to minny
D William/wes johnson/ webster to NO Hornets
CP3 to Lakers

I'd love to see Ariza back in a Laker jersey.
