    Big Rumor On ESPN: Lakers Going After Both Paul and Howard

    Watching ESPN right now and their developing-breaking story is that the Lakers are pushing hard to get both Paul and Howard. Broussard is reporting this. If this is true, you can pretty much give the Lakers their rings for the next two years.

    Lakers Dream Team?

    Chris Broussard


    "Sources say Lakers have plans to go after Dwight Howard AND CP3. Everyone not named Kobe is available."

    twitter

    If this happens, NBA will just be stupid...

    Lakers reported to wanting to acquire Paul and Howard...

    Anyone on Lakers is fair game besides Kobe. Is the NBA ever going to step in and stop these massive super teams? Whore shit. Ruining the product even more to be honest.

    Of course they're going to say they want the biggest two Free Agents out there. what else are they gonna say? "No, we have no interest in the best Center in the league, and one of the top PGs in the league who happen to be free agents"

    yep, no surprise here, they do have the asset to make it happen
    I cant see these guys will get a ring this year if Lakers gets their way as these thing takes time for a championship team to form; especially with a new coach as well.

    Everyone not named Kobe is expendable on the Lakers. If this does happen, NBA might as well contract 2-4 teams. All the superstars are going to team up on a few teams. You know if Dwight and Paul go to LA, that Chicago will probably pull a top 20 player within the next year or two. NBA is turning into an Arms Race.

    You have a 0% chance to win an NBA title in this era without at least 1 top 7 player in the NBA. Now, you need more than that even. Dallas is lucky to get Caron Butler back next year. Big piece.

    despite Mitch Kupchak's no comment, but inside source confirmed a deal is in the making
    LA want to send Gasol to New Orleans for Paul, and in a separate deal, send Bynum & Odom to Orlando for Howard + Hedo Turkoglu's contract.

    but New Orleans want Andrew Bynum + 1 future pick for Paul , the news also confirm both Howard and Paul really want to be a lakers and push their agents to work on the deal.

    In a separate report, D. Will too want to be a Lakers, so it possible that the Nets could involve in this deal.

    So they would be getting rid of Odom, Gasol and Bynum + others for 2 players. Miami still better and Kobe is aging. Will be interesting to see.

    Paul, Kobe, and Howard make a more complete team than 3 perimeter players trying to establish who the leader is. Paul can throw oops to Howard or drain 3's if they try to double team Howard. Paul can dribble drive and collapse defenses or kick it out to Kobe who would be better off throwing ally oops to Howard. With Howard down low you can get away with all kinds of cheating on defense. Howard controls the lane like no other player in the NBA at this time. The Lakers would sweep the playoffs without anyone even staying within 20 points of them.

    LOL you think the Hornets are gonna trade Chris Paul for Pau Gasol? No chance. More like Gasol and three future picks.

    Lets make it clear that Kupchak runs everything through Bryant.

    Bryant has been running the lakers organization for a decade.

    He gave the go ahead on Mike Brown.

    He told them that either he leaves or shaq does.

    He got the trade for Pau Gasol.

    Nothing is done without Bryant's consent.

    Kobe gave the go ahead for Mike Brown? I know for a fact that's incorrect.

    Detroit and Boston both won without top 7 players, if you could pick any 12 guys not in the top 7 you would have a 100% chance

    Well I guess KG was a top 7 player when they won but they easily could of won the title in 2010 or 11 if not for injuries.
