I'm not necessarily sad. I'm happy about this
I need to know more details, though
We better get Okafor or something more. This takes us completely out of the running for Howard…

Btw that trade can't go through as straight
Bynum/Lamar for CP3. They would take on too much salary. We have to get Okafor or someone.
Little things used to mean so much to her- I used to think they were kind of trivial. Believe me, nothing is trivial.
As I said in the other thread...maybe the Magic told LA there was no way Howard to the Lakers was possible?
Then, we wouldn’t have gotten him anyway, so at least we got Paul?
Go Sharks!
too much risk-taking here
cp3-kobe-mwp-gasol-backup C?
what? that frontline will be eaten up alive.
i hope okafor is brought in.
orl better be liking gasol and fodder or mitch better be lining up something shocking with another team, say philly, for this to make sense.
WOOT
yeah correct PAU!

WojYahooNBA: Correction: The proposed deal to the Lakers is Chris Paul for Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom, source says.
This is even worse
now we have two players with crappy knees
three if you count Kobe

Paul's knees are fine
and Bynum is getting traded for Howard
Little things used to mean so much to her- I used to think they were kind of trivial. Believe me, nothing is trivial.
Nah
surgically repaired knees for cartilage damage are almost never fine in the long run – at least biologically/physiologically
the only thing Paul has going for him is his small size…which will reduce the amount of stress he puts on his knees

he'll be fine

2 30+ year old players for 24 year old CP
Sure they are both great, but they are clearly on decline. I think this is a great deal if we get to keep Bynum
This will be great if
(1) Bynum can manage to stay healthy
or
(2) if we can ship Bynum to get Howard in another deal
by Revelationx91 on Dec 8, 2011 3:12 PM PST up reply actions
Meh same principle
we get him for his 27,28,29,30,31 seasons which will be fine with me. Pau is already 31, and odom is 32. I don’t think we could have gotten a better return on these 2 (short of the three team with houston proposed earlier)
me too...
cant forget 3 straight finals and 2 rings…
but if the chemistry is shot from last year and those rumors… maybe theres something we dont know
Follow me: @theshmoes.
gasol and lamar for cp3 AND okafor then i can deal with it
and somehow pull bynum and okafor for d12 and turkey
Whoa!
OK, I was all set to write about trading Bynum instead and making sense of it from Lakers standpoint (Bynum would be better long term reward for Hornets) this makes MUCH more sense. now.
I like Pau a lot as a guy and wish him well, but this is much better for Lakers future. But I will miss Pau more than I would miss Bynum frankly.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
There still has to be another part
Maybe Carl Landry? The trade won’t work straight up Pau/LO for CP3
Little things used to mean so much to her- I used to think they were kind of trivial. Believe me, nothing is trivial.
or gasol and lamar for cp3 and DWEST/LANDRY o hope
this is a gamble at its finest.
word on extension?
I hope Landry
he’s a workhorse
Little things used to mean so much to her- I used to think they were kind of trivial. Believe me, nothing is trivial.
WTF IS GOING ON????
I leave to take a final, thinking that CP3 had little to no chance of coming to LA, and I come back to all this?? WTF??

You got rolled in 4 straight last year because
you got one dose of testosterone in the locker room — and you wonder “what’s going on”?
Getting rid of the Charmin is what’s going on. And Bynum is N-E-X-T.
(ALL blessed by Kobe, BTW)
O GOD I almost had a heart attack over the Bynum/Odom for CP3
I go make a sandwich and everything goes crazy!
damn what is gonna happen when 12:00 AM hits
it gon’ be CRAZY
Trades and deals can't begin til 2 PM EST on Friday I think
I read that yesterday, don’t know if it’s still correct
Unfuckingbelievable.
We finally get the okay to trade away Bynum and you give him up, along with Odom, for Chris Paul, NOT Dwight Howard? What the fuck is the FO smoking?

For once I agree with you
New Orleans ate our lunch if this deal goes through
Leaving Jimmer Fredette open for 3 is like leaving Brad Pitt alone with your wife. You know he's gonna hit it.
Its Pau and Odom
Bynum still could be the core of a deal for Dwight
yeah Woj corrected
It’s Pau and Lamar for CP3 (plus something else since that trade doesn’t match, I expect Landry or Oke)

Hope its Landry

Little things used to mean so much to her- I used to think they were kind of trivial. Believe me, nothing is trivial.
Not liking this as much.
Who plays PF if we do this? We lose all depth in the front court as well. It would make more sense if we were getting D12, but can you get D12 for Bynum alone?
If it was just Pau, I’d like it.
If we get West and/or Landry back on the cheap, I’d like it.
I'm hoping we get Landry in the deal
A humble kid, with a ton of upside. We already know he can work very well with CP3. He’s a workaholic also.
Little things used to mean so much to her- I used to think they were kind of trivial. Believe me, nothing is trivial.
Hell, I'd even take Emeka.
We have NO front court if Bynum goes down (which he tends to do).
There’s got to be more to this…
If we're giving up both Pau and Odom, than Landry is a must

If it turns out we get D12 and CP
And lose pau odom and bynum it will have turned out as expected, but perhaps with pieces going to unexpected places along the way
I was hoping to have DH12 leverage Orlando
so we could keep Odom. It sounded possible when it was Pau for CP3, bu not any more.

Hate the idea of giving up Pau and not having a legitimate 4 in the lineup.
If Pau really is gone, then I am buying that #16 jersey I never got after the Boston win in honor of the Spaniard. yeah, he ahd a rough year last year — but he will always be one of my favorites to wear the P&G.

Starting to like this even more
Gasol and Odom’s trade stock has never been, and never will be, any higher than what it is now. Another year or two down the line, and they’ll both be in decline as age catches up with them. Might as well cash in now and get CP3.

Meh. I preferred Howard, but I'm fine with CP3.
The problem I have is that there is no frontcourt depth and Bynum’s knees can’t handle increase minutes. Thus, the Lakers will have to navigate and find quality backup center and a starting power forward, plus a back at that position.
Here's one thing to consider.
Now that we have CP3, Howard will want to play for us more than ever, which means the Magic may be forced to trade him to us for dirt cheap.

Howard is not going to resign in Orlando
There isn’t a chance of it. He wants to play with CP3, or with a real contender. We are both now. Bynum is the second best thing to Howard as far as Centers go.
They can cut their losses and take Bynum (plus whatever draft picks or extra players we sweeten the deal with) or they can risk Howard walking.

Well in that case why don't we have him yet?

CP3 = the best point guard in this league since Magic Johnson

Paul's Meniscus was removed (in part)
Paul underwent surgery on the knee in early February. Noted orthopedist Dr. James Andrews, unable to sew the damaged piece of cartilage, cut it away instead, one of the primary reasons Paul played in just 45 games last season, and New Orleans found itself in the draft lottery instead of the playoffs.
It is unknown how much was removed, but this generally can be beginning of degenerative bone-on-bone conditions.
I’m not super worried about this, but it is a factor.

I currently have a mensical tear

Little things used to mean so much to her- I used to think they were kind of trivial. Believe me, nothing is trivial.
did we trade 2 of the best/better front court players for a PG with injury issues.
both odom and gasol cause match up problems.
did you make the account to troll or what?
There’s been no signs that CP3’s knee is still a problem. He’s torched people since coming back and has looked like the CP3 of old.
You have more pretoday posts on New York than here, upset he didn’t get to New York?
Little things used to mean so much to her- I used to think they were kind of trivial. Believe me, nothing is trivial.
I'm very sure that he is not currently injured.
But his knee has now entered into a degenerative process (in all likelihood).
If I"m a troll to bring that up, I guess I’m a troll.
The Lakers gave up a lot and turned the one strength they had over every single team in the league into a weakness.
I’m not against the trade, but how it will turn out is still in question.
So I'm guessing that $10 million is coming off our books just like that?

If this trade goes through as reported....
Winner: Hornets
Kinda winner: Lakers
Epic Losers: Rockets

I actually think its a win-win-win
wiith the Hornets being the biggest winners.

I think everyone wins
Rockets get Pau and a ton of cap space. Don’t be surprised if they sign Marc Gasol by the end of the weekend and still be able to get another wing player on the cheap.

saw this posted in a forum

If this deal goes down for LA as just Gasol & LO for CP3, then the Lakers gain two trade exceptions, one for $8.9M.
Can those exceptions...
Be used in any way to land Howard?

they could give up Bynum and another piece making not too much money
for Howard and then absorb Hedo’s contract with the exception

So who has a power forward making about 10-12 million that someone would want to get rid of
in exchange for World Peace? The U.N. perhaps???

What if Houston signed Marc Gasol as well?

Woj:
Kobe Bryant was disappointed to see Gasol go in the deal, a source told Yahoo! Sports. He had been a great facilitator for Bryant and the Lakers out of the post, but Bryant was thrilled about the possibilities of playing with Paul. The point guard can ease a lot of Bryant’s ball-handling and play-making responsibilities, something that will benefit him at 33 years old.
