If the Lakers get Howard while only giving up Bynum and a late 20's first round pick, that's just shocking.
Just an absurdly bad trade for Orlando. I can't believe the Lakers can get that done without giving up Gasol. Unreal. If true, I'm penciling in the Lakers for the Finals now.
The Lakers were never going to trade both Bynum and Gasol. Why would they make a trade that makes their team worse in their star player's final few years? That would have made no sense.
Orlando should've taken Bynum. Or found better prospects than what they got from Houston or someone else.
Can't blame the Lakers for offering Bynum. As an individual player, that's the best Orlando was going to get. Except they didn't get him . . . Orlando botched this one badly. Lakers, 76ers, Nuggets made the right moves.
