As Lakers push for assets in Gasol-Bynum discussions, Cavs have refused to include Dion Waiters in talks, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Cavs understand Gasol could simply be half-season rental. Lakers want value in return -- not just financial savings. There's a gap to close.

Rookie Sergey Karasev was mentioned as a possible players coming back to LA in the deal, but it’s clear the Cavaliers aren’t giving up on Waiters just yet. The 22-year-old second-year player from Syracuse reportedly requested a trade out of Cleveland, but just three games out of a playoff spot, they can use his scoring.

Lakers would obviously go for Waiters, knowing that it would be talked down.
Maybe they really can snag Karasev

Waiters/Bynum for Gasol/Lakers 1st this year

Why? I don't know whats so great about him.

Lolz they are smoking the pipe if they think Gasoft is worth Bynum and Waiters. Dion will be a All star player in a few years if they removed him from the 6th man position.

What was so great about Kobe in his rookie year?

So Cavs become a playoff team while having a lottery pick that could turn out to be top 5 because Lakers are tanking hard because their anchor, Pau, is gone

I don't understand why the Lakers would really be chasing Waiters. Clearly they have committed to Kobe to the next 2 seasons, not to mention already having a similar player in Young, as well as Henry.

Dion has shown the ability to dominate on offense, and play either guard spot with competent defense. I think most would agree his ceiling is very high, especially given how young he is.

That said, did he really request a trade? I don't think I'd want players on my team who didn't want to be here...

Then again, this is Cleveland. I'm not so sure I want to be here myself...

He's staying with us.

What a disaster the Cavs season has been thus far.

[BlackVVaves]

The better question is....

Why does Mitch think it's even conceivable that the Cavs front office would give them Waiters for a likely half-year rental in Pau?

I know Pau for Bynym helps the Cavs in what they are trying to do right now (make the playoffs) more than it would help the Lakers right now (though the move isn't designed for right now for LA but rather the future), and Mitch probably wants to receive more because of that. But, Waiters?

He should be pressing for a top 12-15 protected first rounder instead.

I just hit google for some news on this story, and came across Lakersground. These dudes in a 150 page thread about this Pau/Bynum trade think they should be getting a first rounder, Waiters, and Bynum for Pau

OMG

What ****ing homer and spoiled idiots
