I'm thinking if Orlando trades Dwight, it's going to be to the Nets, Celtics, or Lakers.

Nets can offer the package that was talked about before centering around Brook Lopez and draft picks.

Celtics can offer Rondo, Jeff Green, and Jermaine O'Neal's rotting carcass + picks.

Lakers can offer Bynum and Artest and that's it?

The only way I think Dwight ends up in LA is if Orlando decides to trade him and Dwight refuses to play with Deron or the Big 3.

What a dream that would be.

Ok but what idiotic posts have been made the past 7 pages by a Laker fan? That was my whole point. Dude made it seem like there was a flood of Lakers fans were posting and that every Laker fan post was stupid.

Then that's not a deal I'm willing to make. If I'm giving up a franchise player, I'm expecting some hefty compensation in return.

Personally, I'd rather take the deal the Nets were offering, just at first glance.

Heck, if the Bulls really wanted to, they could probably offer the most lucrative deal.

Just like Pau and Lamar dont have value right?

Ive gone over the Brook vs Bynum thing, I Take Bynum every single time.

Celtics were willing to surrender Rondo for Paul, but how do you know they would make the same deal for Howard?

And god damnit guys, I was gone for a half hour and I come back and have to skim through over 20 pages of posts?

And how come nobody is screaming conspiracy about the Celtics stealing Keyon Dooling from Milwaukee for a 2nd round pick?! Milwaukee just continues to get ****ed over by the higher-ups (major market teams)...

IT'S A CONSPIRACY I SAYS!

You haven't been here long enough to understand.

In other news, the Rockets are apparently giving the Hornets that 2012 Knicks draft pick they acquired at the deadline last year.

I think you're overvaluing Bynum then, which is understandable.

I never said Pau and Lamar didn't have value. In fact I said the exact opposite.

Orlando will have to trade him if Dwight tells them the terms. You don't think the lure of rings now, and having CP3 after Kobe leaves and continuing to chase rings with a franchise like the Lakers later, makes it even more lucrative for D12?

"I will only extend with the Lakers"

Then what?

NO ONE IS GIVING OUT PREMIUM PACKAGES WITHOUT AN EXTENSION. That is why the LAkers landed CP3 in the first place. The only team I see willing to take that risk is the Nets.

I'm not saying they would. That's just my hunch. I would think Rondo wants out of Boston after the way he's been shopped around recently and he seems like the kinda guy that would make it ugly for the front office if they don't appease him.

Boy wait til the amnesty cuts come. This should be interesting.

Hey guys, whose the first one?

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

Laker Fans will swear by everything that Bynum is the better C just like Nets' Fans(the small # of us on here)will swear that Lopez is the better C.

Aka every team in the NBA's plan that isn't named Lakers, Celtics, Bulls, Knicks or Heat :wink:

Yeah, good point. Well back to rooting for the 8th seed and hoping _______ falls to us in the draft.

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

Well, in all seriousness, I dont know. I have 100% faith in Mitch. I see us making a run for David West by dangling the MLE. IF we lose Artest, it's likely in a Howard trade and that would have us ending up with Hedo (all speculation but...). Barnes + Hedo = 3 spot is fine with CP3/D12/Kobe. Dont need scoring, just defense and solid play.

Not sure who else is a FA, I know we are signing Kapono for the Vets minimum.

agreed
Yea I will take Hedo, better than nothing. Hopefully Kapono will be good.

Just like Pau and Lamar dont have value right?

If healthy I agree, unfortunately with Bynum's inconsistent health I'm not so sure.

Richard Jefferson has already been amnesty cut. Baron Davis is reportedly another one.

Don't expect many.

The first will probably be Baron. A move I totally disagree with making right now, but obviously that doesn't matter.

EDIT: Forgot about Jefferson.
