Lakers have agreed in principle to deal for CP3

[zsr]

hear say until i see it on NBA.com

Yep. Can't believe people believing this shit lol.

[TehSharp]

Note the title, not that I trust ESPN that much

[Tree Rollins]

This is going down. A lot of legit NBA media sources are beginning to report it on twitter.

I don't know what i think. Pau AND Odom for CP3....That means Lakers have no power forward on the roster. WTF. Pau by himself and i like the deal, if Odom is included, i don't.

[riffraff24]

Did you read the fukin link? Pau and odom. Bynum is ther only chance for Howard obviously hes not in th deal

I did. They initially posted Bynum and then immediatley corrected it saying "Correction: Gasol"
Chill out bro

[Tree Rollins]

If Lakers lose both Pau and Odom, they must have some plans for the front-court...They will be left with 1 center (bynum) and Zero PF's....They need to sign like 3 front court players now. What happens when Bynum gets hurt or is in foul trouble?

Lakers won't win more than 2 games in a 7 game series for MIami with that Roster move. Paul can be contained.

The plan is for Dwight obviously. Dwight wants to be a Laker and even more so now with CP3

Lol sorry this twitter bull shit just pisses me off. No legit media outlets reporting yet, just twitter, everyone calm down. If this goes through and Bynum for Howard eventually, who will play PF?

[riffraff24]

Yeah just like they contained Jason Kidd

I'm not sure what this means but it was pretty funny. Trevor Arizas family lives in my building. I ran into Trevors mom in the elevator earlier and asked her..."So CP3 to Lakers huh?" And all she said was "honey you know i cant talk about that" and laughed.

[brooks85]

i was going to laugh if the lakers kept gasol, i was scratching my head

Are you saying this without Dwight or with him? Obviously Paul Kobe and Howard with artest and any scrub will pick Miami apart. Kobe Paul and Bynum with artest can beat Miami, remember the lakers haven't had a decent point guard in what, 10 years? Fisher is back up talent at best

[Goat Milk]

Yeah just like they contained Jason Kidd

Remind me what Jason Kidd's stats were in the finals. Thanks.

[riffraff24]

Just confirmed on espn!!!!!!!!!! Eat it

[riffraff24]

Goat lets talk in June buddy

[Goat Milk]

WIthout Dwight obviously. Dwight is not going to the Lakers. I just don't see the league allowing that to happen. It wouldn't be fair.

[zsr]

Love this trade for the lakers. Back on top. Well done.

[hels]

Yep. Can't believe people believing this shit lol.

Keep your mouth shut when you got nothing to say boy.

[riffraff24]

"dwight is not going to the lakers"....Heard the same thing about CP3

[Tree Rollins]

The people reporting it on twitter are with legit media outlets. Ie Marc Stein ESPN, Adrian Wojo Yahoo, etc...

Lol you were so way off with your initial post. Stfu. Raff got it right, you were just looking for attention. Well done raff

I'll eat my crow, good job guys. Maybe I should check twitter more often.

[Tree Rollins]

If Bynum continues to dominate defensively like he did late last season, grabbing 12 boards a game or so and block 2.5 shots, and Chris Paul will lifts Bynums offensive game signicantly, which is just what he does, makes everyone else better. If all those things work out and Bynum stays healthy, he might be almost enough to pry Dwight from Orlando. Have to throw in some other things though, but it could be a good centerpiece.

[riffraff24]

Haha thanks bro. Im all over my Lakers

[Tree Rollins]

There HAS to be more to this trade. Bynum is suspended the 1st 5 games of the season. This trade leaves them without a single C or PF on the whole roster to start the year.

[frank416c]

agreed in principle 3 way treade...

[Goat Milk]

The Lakers didn't get much better after that trade. Trust me as long as Kobe is there they are always a threat to win a title but if they get to the finals this year just take a look at the matchups. Theres mismatches everywhere for the Heat.

You guys realize how bad Ron Artest is right? He will get abused in the playoffs. He's one of the worst starting players in the league.

[KingJD31]

lakers have just traded fischer and coach brian shaw for howard gilbert arenas

[hels]

Are you retarded? What was 'way off' on my initial post? Didn't think you could answer this.

And what did you post about this never happening this week?

[kobefanatic]

this isn't good for the lakers they have no more PF's right now, even if they get dwight for bynum, they just lose 2/3 of their frontline rotation for CP3

[kobefanatic]

they now have 4 point guards, i think they better find takers for steve blake
