if it's just bynum they're giving up, that seems pretty absurd

Yeah, it appears Gasol was not a piece at all.

Maybe Orlando just wanted it done and get rid of this drama so they could focus on their season.

The Lakers snapped. Their starting lineup is sick. Philadelphia also lost Iguodala but them getting Bynum helps them out big time.

Orlando's front office is lacking in intelligence and the NBA just became the a shit league if you're not a bandwagon lakers/heat fan. **** stern and **** the NBA.

[h=6]If David Stern allows the Lakers to get Dwight Howard, I'm done with the NBA. No parity at all when you allow super teams to be built. The CBA was supposed to help? Who are you trying to fool, comrade?[/h]

Perhaps now we might get to see Kobe and LeBron face off in the Finals.

Not really.

Howard told them "Trade me to LA now, Brooklyn or Dallas Midseason, or I leave as a FA". They really had no choice here, had to get rid of him while they could. Blame should be put to Howard who cried his way out of Orlando.

1. How the **** were the Lakers able to keep Pau? How do they keep managing to pull off these highway robberies? Got Gasol for almost nothing a few years ago. Got Nash for 2 seconds and 2 firsts... and now just give up Bynum to upgrade at C? holy ****.

2. Orlando... seriously? That's the best deal you had? Harrington, afflalo, Vucecvic and 3 protected first round picks for Howard? Is Hennigan high? HOU and NJ offered better than that.

NJ's offer was probably better. I doubt Houstons was better though.
