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

[QUOTE=BEAST Griffin]:roll: :roll: :roll:

The Clippers will trade the Minny 1st round pick, Chris Kaman's expiring contact, Mo Williams and Aminu for Pau Gasol and Trevor Ariza just so that Lakers can get Chris Paul???

Clippers don't even have use for Pau Gasol.

If anything the Clippers will make a direct trade with the Hornets to get Chris Paul.

Wasting all the trade assets for the Lakers benefit...RIGHT

Clippers would rather keep the Minny 1st round pick in a stacked draft than such a garbage trade.

Give me some of what you're smoking. LMFAO.[/QUOTE]

What are you talking about?
Of course if Chris Paul will in fact sign an extension with the Clippers, then they could try and trade for him; but I doubt they would land him directly without giving up Eric Gordon.

You don't think Mo Williams, Aminu, Kaman & lottery pick is worth Pau Gasol and Trevor Ariza? You have to be kidding me.
Gasol, Griffin, Ariza & Gordon would become an immediate contender. :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Deuce Bigalow]I think the Lakers can get Dwight, but not CP3 aswell[/QUOTE]

as much as I desperately want one to come to the clippers, i'm starting to think whether its possible that dfish can be right... if the lakers get dwight first, i could see that attracting cp3

*shudders*

[QUOTE=Doranku]How is collusion even remotely similar to trading? What a stupid post.

LeBron and Bosh agreeing to join forces with Wade in Miami during their free agency =/= Team management improving their team through trades[/QUOTE]

Ok I am a Lakers fan and even I know that's nitpicking. It's both the same thing essentially.

Since everyone is posting pipe dream scenarios, I guess the Knicks should offer Landry Fields for CP3 and Turiaf for Howard.

[QUOTE=JohnnyFord]no mo williams aminu kaman and the minny pick is not worth gasol and ariza. YOU have to be kidding or your just high. why would the clippers want gasol whose over 30 when they have blake???[/QUOTE]

Am I missing something?
Gasol is a finesse player, he'll probably be playing at an All-Star level for another 4-5 years. He has won two championships playing as a center and is a terrific passer. You seriously think Kaman (probably won't re-sign with LAC anyways), Aminu, M. Williams & lottery pick is too much?

You're getting a top five PF in the league, for a role player, a shooting guard playing point guard, an expiring contract and a lottery pick.

More importantly, it gives the Clippers a dangerous trio. They will become a legit threat out west with Pau in the lineup and make a crap load of revenue from ticket sales. I seriously can't be the only person that sees this as a great trade for the Clippers.

But I guess Gasol is only great when it's convenient to bash Kobe, right?

Except Odom, Bynum, and Gasol are actually quality players........

Still a pipe dream if you think you can turn that into CP3 and DH12.

Clippers wouldn't do any deal that helps the Lakers get better.

They're not going to go from trying to get CP3 or Dwight to come help them contend in the West, to handing the Lakers NBA Finals for the next 6 years.

[QUOTE=Sarcastic]Still a pipe dream if you think you can turn that into CP3 and DH12.[/QUOTE]

The Lakers received Caron Butler and Lamar Odom for Shaquille O'Neal seven years ago. You think Dwight Howard isn't worth Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum? If he demands a trade to LA?

They definitely have the piece to get their pick of one though. :banana:
