i see people saying bulls shouldnt trade deng well as i remember about 4 years ago the bulls were.goin to trade the lakers deng and gordon for kobe but the bulls backed out what a bone headed move deng is good but no superstar we need another superstar that requires a double team and i garauntee rose numbers will be alot better but i also dont like howard he cant shoot freethrows hes not consistant in scoring and stays in foul trouble. Good point ^
If the bulls did make the trade. bulls may have never gotten rose to begin with.
Rose won the mvp if you didn't realize that. kobe would have just screwed up rose because rose takes a lot of chicago's shots. the bulls dont need to do anything to win the east.
07 Feb 2012 14:37:41
Okay, I just can't keep it out of my head, however I doubt it will actually happen.
Look I'm a bull fan, and having Rose and D12 would be amazing.
OK some people say: is it worth breaking the great chemistry, is it worth to break a winning team, one of NBA's finnest?
Well on a short run no!
The Bulls are young, yeah yeah I know, and keeping this team, would mean they are contenders each year.
But I said it contenders.
Once MIA, has a C where they can depend on, simply said it's over for us.
Their power is just to massive then.
And there is more then one team who are contenders.
Contenders means, equal talented teams that can go against each other.
So yeah, Bulls, if not going for howard, will have fights, will contend, will win, will lose,... but will never dominate or be the team that gives the "contenders" a wet pants.
Surely on a short term they will lose to much dept, jup true, we will lose dept if we go after Howard. But has someone seen Mirotic play? just saying, he is massive!
So on long term however, if we break chemistry, if we rebuild something that has never been broken, and yes even if it means involving Deng, how much I would regret it, cause Deng is amazing, we would lose maybe on short term, and maybe even this year, but when D12 agrees to an extension, we should be able to be dominating the League for years to come.
DRose - Howard, which player wouldn't want to earn less money to go with this guys for a title when beeing an FA.
Not to mention on short term we would surely still have RIP, BRewer, Asik or Gibson,...
I repeat, horrible to say for me, if it should cost us Deng, but on longterm vision I think we would be foolish to not go for it when he announces he would sign an extension with the Bulls.
My opinion in this has been changing a lot, because I really would hate it to see Deng go, but i think now, that we would benefit from it in the coming years, giving up 1 title for maybe years of domination... I think I have made up my mind. Top tier ya right
I am Bulls fan too and I feel your pain. My problem is I don't want to do the Melo thing. Look at the New York Knicks. If they kept their team they would be in the top tier of the East. The Knicks paid way to much to get a superstar and look at them now. If we can get him for a reasonable price then I say OK but I don't think we should take Turk if we give good players. Deng, Noah, Brewer and 2 1st. If they insist then we counter w/ Noah, Boozer, Brewer and 2 1st. I just don't think we should give up half the team for Howard.
Id like to get howard but if it involves deng no thanks
07 Feb 2012 11:08:43
Can someone borrow me NBA 2K12...
I did not still got it from my friend,but I can see that all Lakers fans got it!!
07 Feb 2012 05:50:44
The NBA should make the elgibility limit 3 years after high school graduation, or 21 years old, which ever is first.
Not only would this help the college game greatly, it would make the prospects from college going to the NBA much better players all-around. John Wall was the first pick in the draft, and has a terrible jump shot. If he stayed in college 2 more years he could have improved his game so much more. More of the guessing of potential a player has would be eliminated and players would be more polished for their jump to the NBA.
College basketball would improve so much more. Instead of Kentucky getting all the great players, other teams would have a better shot at getting players. For instance, I dont think Brandon Knight would have went to Kentucky with John Wall (and others) still there. This year Kentucky could have a lineup that featured Wall, Cousins, and Anthony Davis. How exciting would that be to watch?
I would love to hear everyone's opinions on this subject because everyone's will be different. I'm not a big college hoops fan. I love the tournment but the season is just not for me. I think one year is plenty. Giving the NCAA more money then they get already would be unjust. Who are we to tell them they can not make millions because their game isn't polished enough. If he blows out his knee during his third year and is never the same he will have nothing to show for it. I agreed w/ making them go for one year but that is it. Way to many busters got paid for being big. In my opinion Wall just must not train as hard. He had the whole lock out to shoot 2,000 jump shots a day. Did he? I don't know but if your job is to be a pro athlete then make it your job. Put in 8 hours a day in the off season and become the best you can. Too many players just think they can survive on their talent alone. The best players are the ones that train twice as hard. First one in the gym and last to leave.
Id like to see players play at least 2 years in college. I know the nfl makes players play 3 years in college
07 Feb 2012 04:34:06
I believe Magic will land Stephen Jackson & a better PG come trade deadline in hopes of keeping Superman!
07 Feb 2012 03:22:21
Lin will start for the knicks they found there pg without doing any trades now yall go see something new with the knicks You realize he had 8 turnovers? That wont get it done every night.
07 Feb 2012 03:20:52
Any sixers trades? Wilcox or JJJ instead of Stiesma. Then you can call it a deal.
Yes, with Celtics: Paul Pierce + 2012 1st rd dp + Stiesma + 2016 1st rd dp for Iggy + Hawes.
07 Feb 2012 02:28:41
That lin dude is pretty good he will be the starting pg for the knicks That should tell you all you need to know about the Knicks season.
07 Feb 2012 00:46:11
Am I the only one thinking the Celtics can still compete? Not saying we couldn't use a trade or two before March deadline. But if we can get a regular center to start over JO and a backup SF, don't think that everybody should be counting us out. By this time last year, almost everyone would say that the Mavs were too old and didn't stand a chance at winning it all. Yet they did just that, didn't they? One difference. They didn't have this crazy schedule to deal with. I don't think they have any chance at beating the better teams in the East.
07 Feb 2012 00:42:13
The lakers should not trade pau gasol they should keep him until his contract is up, he have his hunger back and is having a good year and him and kobe play well together.
06 Feb 2012 23:52:03
The big Team who takes Nash on trade, will be champion! FINALLY THE BOBCATS WON'T BE BALLS ANYMORE!
No.
As much as I wish we could be good because of one player who is 38, NO WAY.
So if nash gets traded to toronto. toronto will be nba champions?
lmao
Ah yes. Because Nash has a room full of rings..
06 Feb 2012 23:24:02
Rondo for nash and first round top five protected
Celtics would be called vetern city Suns wont give up draft picks.
06 Feb 2012 20:52:04
Clevland Receives:
Lebron James
Miami Receives:
Sessions
ftw Get over it Cleveland. Its been like a year and a half. You wonder why a player FROM Ohio wont stay there? Look no further than the actions of their owner and fans
06 Feb 2012 20:44:48
Mavs sign
Wilson chandler !!
Trade Shawn Marion to Denver for Corey brewer then sign Dwight Howard and deron Williams
And maybe jr smith You would be way over the salary cap with all of those moves
06 Feb 2012 11:30:56
D.Howard and D.Williams are in there prime the next four years!
If you add DWil and D12 to a roster this year, the Mavericks roster is the best alternate! Their starting five with D12 and DWil ist undefeatable and their deep is also one of the best.
Mavs can spend their actual roster lower contracts and sign D12 and DWil about 15M!
Build the following roster in the summer the chance for all of them to get rings the next two or three years is very good!
Howard/Mahimi
Nowitzki/Odom/Yilian
Marion/McGrady
Carter/Terry/Beaubois
Williams/Kidd/West Alright here we go w/ the numbers. Haywood 32 years old, 22 minutes/gm, 5.6, 6.8, .4, .5, 1.1, 50% (Pts, rbs, ast, stl, blk, ft%) and he makes 7.6 million this year and 8.3,9.0 and 9.8 the next three years w/ his contract expiring after the 2014/2015 season. He is worth nothing. He is old and overpaid. The only way they get rid of him is via Amnesty. Just to show you how "good" Haywood is take a guess at who is putting up these numbers? He is 26 years old, plays 18 minutes a game 5.6, 4.2, .4, .4, 1.2, 45% (Pts, rbs, ast, stl, blk, ft%). He makes 4.7 million this year, 5.2 and 5.6 the next two expiring in 2013/2014.
Darko Milicic. Now I bet the whole room will tell you he sucks. Miny would give him away for anything and he is younger and makes less money then Haywood. So please stop w/ the he is good, he have value, or he is better then half the centers in the NBA. There are 30 teams in the NBA and here are Centers that are better then Haywood. Howard, Gasol, Monroe, Bynum, Chandler, Jefferson, Bargnani, Noah, Gortat, Hibbert, Varejao, Cousins, Nene, Lopez (B) Duncan, Oakfor, Jordan, McGee, Horford, Bogut, Camby, Kaman, Perkins, Mazgov, Asik, Pekovic, and Milicic just becasue he plays 3 less minutes a night. I'm sure i missed a few but that is more then 15. So Dallas we all know you want Howard and Dwill but it will not happen. To many bad contracts are on your books and you don't have the pieces to trade for these guys. Just face it you might get one but you won't get both so stop being delusional.
Desperate mav fan smh
06 Feb 2012 10:32:02
The teams that have been power house teams over the last decade (Lakers, Boston, Spurs, Dallas to a degree) are all done and are not going to get anywhere in this years playoffs i am a laker fan and i believe it is over done and dusted rebulid now while we have a chance. the new power house teams over the next decade will be Thunder, Bulls, Pacers, Miami until dwayne wade is gone, Sixers and the Wolves Miami doesnt need Wade. Look at their record without him. Thunder could become a dynasty.
06 Feb 2012 09:22:17
I am a Maverick, but SH, look at that:
Bulls and Magic
Howard & Turkoglo for Noah & Deng
Bulls roster:
Howard, Asik
Boozer, Gibson, Scalabrine
Turkoglu, Korver
Hamilton, Brewer
Rose, Watson, Lucas
Mavs have to hope that Orlando want Noah and Deng with their multi year contracts. But it dont look as bad as some others:
Noah, Davis
Anderson, Davis
Deng, Clark, QRichardson
JRichardson, Redick, Wafer
Nelson, Duhon Bulls wont trade deng.
06 Feb 2012 05:38:44
Someone posted a D12 and Beas to LA!! This would be good!! Doubt it though, Jim Buss will never trade Bynum.
06 Feb 2012 02:59:49
giants win the superbowl and scalabrine for dwight howard
06 Feb 2012 02:22:07
Lakers dwill
Nets 2 1st dp trade exception blake or gasol 1st dp You cant use the trade exeption there. It has to be for a contract of less than the 9 million dollar value
05 Feb 2012 20:34:31
What alot of people dont realize is that when experts say 2012 will be a deep draft, they mean deep in star power. Take 2003 for example it was a deep draft but beyond the 4 stars and a few good players there wasnt much. So arguing that a late 1 st has more value than usual is stupid because in real life it isnt so.
05 Feb 2012 19:55:54
Dwight Howard told the LA Lakers he will NOT sign an extension with them if he is traded to LA. I think the only way the Lakers get D12 to sign an extension now is to trade for Dwill. I guess Kobe told Dwight that "he'd be his Tyson Chandler" LMAO Kobe.
05 Feb 2012 13:31:22
Is it just me or would anybody else select roy hibbert, or andrew bynum over dwight howard. I used to think the obvious pic was to take the monstrous howard, but after studying some of his game film and going over his stats this dude is a HUGE liability with the ball in his hands. His free throw percentage has gone down every year of his career and it was only 65 percent to start with. And his field goal percentage is less than 30 percent out of the paint. Lets face facts dwight howard is only going to be able to jump out of the gym for a few more years before his knees and feet start going out like every other big man. Eventually he's going to have to use shooting, passing, and dribbling skills to score and play and im just not convinced he has any, and the fact that he actually gets worse at shooting every year leads me to believe that by the time he's 30 he'll be a supper strong center who cant pass, shoot or dribble with diminished hops. Basically he'll be Brendan Haywood. Hibbert and Bynum are SKILLED big men, hibbert more so than bynum, but bynums much more athletic. Point being these guys have skills they can use to compensate whenever they start getting older. Whats Dwight going to do when he cant just jump over everyone anymore. Anybody else see this or are the stats just lying to me?
05 Feb 2012 04:44:06
pau gasol or al harrington?
05 Feb 2012 04:08:41
Hey Lakers fans your not getting Dwight and thank Kobe. He doesn't want to follow what Shaq did and Kobe said he would be the 3rd option after him and Gasol. Kobe won 5 rings for you guys but you could have a few more if he didn't tell Dwight that.
05 Feb 2012 02:51:52
Celtics - Lakers - Rockets
Lakers: Ray Allen + Brandon Bass + Goran Dragic
Rockets: Pau Gasol + 2nd rd dp (Bos)
Celtics: Kevin Martin + Jordan Hill + Matt Barnes I am. Sorry.
@almost perfect...
With your adjustments (1st and 2nd rd dp to Rockets; no Barnes; and Scuola to Celtics) this is simply the best trade ever posted here. Which proves you are not a Laker fan, that's for sure.
Almost perfect. To be perfect and fair for everyone: 1) no Matt Barnes (trash); 2) Rockets receive Boston's 1st rd dp (not 2nd rd) and Lakers' 2nd rd dp; 3) Rockets send Scola to Celtics; 4) Celtics send Wilcox to Rockets.
Lakers
Dragic / Fischer
Kobe / Ray Allen
MWP / Barnes
Bass / JMR
Bynum / Murphy
Rockets
Lowry
Lee
Burdinger
Gasol / Wilcox
Dalembert / Thabeet
1st rd dp Bos
2nd rd dp Lakers
Celtics:
Rondo / Bradley
Martin / Pietrus
Pierce / Daniels
KG / Scola
Hill / JO
05 Feb 2012 01:46:40
is demarcus cousins a good fit for the lakers?? Yeah much better than that over the hill 24 year old andrew bynum you have. Look what happened here with the lakers is they pulled a Boston, they traded away some young players and draft picks ( including Marc Gasol) for Pau Gasol and then they signed ron artests old a** in the hopes that they would win right away. They did the only problem is that now all of theyre starters are in there 30's, except for the super old andrew bynum you'd be trading away for a guy who's less than 3 years younger and has such a sparkling personality and high I.Q.
He will be that young player we need
I don't see a trade that would bring him to the lakers because bynum is better but otherwise i suppose he would work well for the lakers is they didn't have bynum
Yes he is
05 Feb 2012 01:25:03
Trade Phoenix Indiana
Indiana get Nash,Dudley
Phoenix get Collison,George Hill, Stephenson, first draft p. ind 2012 and second draft p. ind 2013
after trade Phoenix
04 Feb 2012 21:02:34
Dwight Howard has said he wont sign an extention with the Lakers. Hmmm, where WOULD he sign an extension then? lol
04 Feb 2012 16:16:48
Dont worry u knick fans I bet yall go make the playoffs they need a pg y u fans always rushing dam
04 Feb 2012 07:39:16
if the lakers trade for dwight howard should they then trade for a point guard or andre igoudala...dwight kobe and iggy or dwight iggy and d-will makes a bigger big 3 than the heat
04 Feb 2012 07:28:23
Am I the only Lakers fan who isn't crazy about pursuing Dwight?
Seriously, we have the best front line in the league but are under performing. I say:
(use trade exception)
Lakers Receive: Ramon Sessions
Cavs Receive: 1st RDP, 2nd RDP
I'm pretty sure that the Cavs were already interested in this trade, its time to pull the trigger.
*also I'm pissed with how we handled Lamar Odom, we should've swapped him for DJ Augustin... would've been perfect...
04 Feb 2012 07:21:06
Lakers need to get session lakers waiting on the howard game to be over I just day foget him he said if he go to the lakers height not resign Speak english please
04 Feb 2012 05:20:45
The Lakers best chance of staying as a dominating force in the league is if they don't trade Bynum. He's their future. Instead trade Gasol for some PG (not just Deron Williams). A combo of Bryant, Bynum, and a better PG would be excellent.
P.S. I'm not a Lakers fan. Nah keep gasol and bynum trade 1st dp for session
04 Feb 2012 03:40:29
Gasol is worth as much as a Very GOOD not great player who's older and sucked in the playoffs....He's not worth a young stud big man on a reasonable contract...jesus
04 Feb 2012 02:14:41
76ers are not a for real team........can not contend with the Heat(this is coming from a die hard sixers fan) they need to trade for a real superstar player.....NOT Iggy Sixers have great young powerful talent. They only lack a leader like Paul Pierce. Actually, they lack Paul Pierce.
As a Real sixers fan i realize that at this point the sixers cant truly compete yet. This team is still on the learning what kind of player most of the core is going to be Jrue is in his 3rd year Turner has just started to understand the league, Young and lou are still getting better. The issue is not Igg his absence will be felt if we lose him. The Sixers real problem is Elton Brand he is a step slow and undersized and not athletic enough to compensate the only thing the sixers need is to add a PF thats 6'10"+ with a 10-15 ft jumper and a low post game. THe ideal and for Turner to to make the move to The starting 5.
If the sixers could find a way to add Al Jefferson and Shaun Livingston and draft a potential replacement for Igg that can come in 5 to 6 years down the road and keep the rest of the team in tact the sixers will be better than the Heat in two years.
The reasons i say Jefferson he 1.has the size and athleticism and low post game to play as are main low post option. 2.He has improved his defense greatly 3.Brand and His contracts expire at the same time if we cant trade for him we can pursue him via free agency. Plus putting him next to Hawse (if he can keep up his play that he started this season) makes for a solid front court. Then he can slide over to the C when Thad is on the floor.
I said Livingston if Turner Makes the Starting line up the Sixers need a Ball handler with size and speed that can penetrate and Pass effectively similar to how turner plays and Livingston has a very similar build as Turner and adding him to the Night Shift to assume the same role as Turner has now with slightly less min. Keeps that flow when we need to go to the bench.
roster
PG- Holiday/Willams/
SG- Turner/Meeks/
SF- Iguodala/Livingston
PF- Jefferson/Young/Allen
C- Hawse/Vucevic
03 Feb 2012 22:17:14
I dont understand why you people thinkvthe Lakers wont get Dwight like we dont always get what we want. Dare you to challenge me on how the Lakers wont get Dwight ill make you look stupid. The Lakers wont fet Dwight. What are you going to do? Say ebanks is going to get it done? He hates shaq and doesnt want to follow his path. The Lakers need a PG. just like you got the trade exemption for Odom? Im sure thats what they wanted.
Haha laker fans are desperate smh
03 Feb 2012 20:11:19
lakers-bucks
lakers get: jennings and gooden
bucks get: gasol and picks Dream on
03 Feb 2012 18:39:51
Sixers/Celtics Trade:
Bos Gets: A.Iguodala
Phi Gets: P.PierceIt's good becuase the Celtics get younger and have a fresher pair of legs on the court, and the Sixers get the superstar they've needed for years who's a sure fired 20 ppg+ scorer......this may be the missing piece the Sixers need to make a deep run in the playoffs........and if there is any hesitation on Boston's part then the Sixers could throw in a draft pick or two.....feel free to comment, but remember it's just an idea so no one get all ignorrant Paul Pierce's last 8 games: almost 24ppg, 8apg and 7rpg...he was just warming up, your fool.
Ok here is why i don't think Philly should do this. Iguodala is 28 yrs old and ave 13.1, 6.7, 5.0 and 1.9 (pts, rbs, ast, stl)/gm. He is due to make 13.5, 14.7 and 15.9 million w/ his contract expiring after 2013/2014 season. Paul Pierce is 34 yrs old and ave 17, 5.4, 5.5, and 1.1 (pts, rbs, ast, stl)/gm he is due to make 15.3, 16.7, and 15.3 million w/ his contract expiring after the 2013/2014 seson. I just don't think Philly gets that much of an upgrade. Pierce makes more money and is 6 years older. Iggy in my opinion is a safer bet.
03 Feb 2012 12:09:45
best point guards 1.Rose 2.CP3 3.D.Will 4.Westbrooke 5.Rondo notables Lowery Nash Cp3 is by far the best pass first pg in the game, he's built just like a young Nash and could average 20+ like rose if he took 20 shots a game instead of
Nash leads League in assist just like last year and he has garbage running with him, can you imagine if had Rondo shooters playing with him? 15-18 assist a night, plus he shoots 50% fg, 40% 3pt and 90% ft, Rondo not even close to Nash. Other 4-Rose, CP3, D Will and Wesrbrook along with Nash arenin class by themselves all others PG are 2nd tier.
Rose is no doubt #1
Dwill and cp3 are better why havent they won mvp?
1. drose (mdpp)
2. cp3
3. westbrook
4. dwill
5. nash
honorable mention: lowery, rondo
Dwill,cp3,rose,westbrook,rondo
Dwill has it all scroing and passing.
Cp3 is good but not as good as scorer
Rose cant be considered best pg if he cant dish out 7 assists even if hes a good scorer.
Westrbrook- better passer than rose, maybe better if durant wasn't on thunder.
Rondo more points and talent than nash.
Rose, CP3, Williams, Rondo, Westbrook
Rose; CP3; Rondo; Westbrook; DWill
Rose is by far the best. But he isnt clutch like Barkley so laker fans think he sucks. (haha)
1. Rose
2. Cp3
3. DWill
4. Westbrook
5. Nash (put him on the Lamers or Knicks and his stats would go way up)
03 Feb 2012 12:02:37
Rockets: Paul Pierce + Ray Allen
Celtics: Kevin Martin + Goran Dragic + Jordan Hill Contracts don't match.
So throw in luis scola for a 1st round draft pick
Burdinger instead of Dragic
Very good!
03 Feb 2012 11:27:21
All u people that say Lebron James is the best in the world to be the best u have to be able to close. MJ-clutch Kobe-clutch Duncan-clutch Kareem Abdul-Jabbar-clutch L.Bird-clutch Wade-clutch Shaq-clutch Melo-clutch Wilt Chamberlain-clutch Ewing-clutch C.Barkley-clutch. U can not tell me he is the best in the world when all he has proved is he can play in the first 3 quarters in a tight game all that matters is the last quarter. Until i see him with a ring he has not proven that he is clutch until then he is the chosen one that turns into the frozen one he. is the biggest just another good player 30 7 and 7 is good but 8 in the finals is horrific. If you learn to read i said they wont win the finals if the play the bucks in the playoffs. so if they face the bucks in the first rd and they lose they wont win the finals
DA
LMFAO ROFL
Better hope the Lakers dont play the Clippers. Lmfao
Ahh. Shows your basketball knowledge. Bucks vs Heat in the finals? Hmm.... Thats would be hard since THEYRE BOTH IN THE EAST DUMBASS. LMFAO
Heat wont win the finals if they play the bucks in the playoffs LMFAO
LeBron didn't have clutch last year and he chocked in the finals. This year his chemistry with Wade has gotten better. Heat will win the finals.
Magic was a notorious choker. Bird didnt take those shots, and Barkley? Look no further ppl, this guy said Barkley was clutch.
MJ IS THE ONLY TRUE CLUTCH PLAYER. He hit game winners like noone before him or after and noone will ever come close. Noone will ever win 6 finals mvps. I think he was the first player to lead the league in scoring and win finals MVP. If Vince or TMac would have went to tbe Lakers they would be Kobe. Kobe went into a great situation as a rookie and look how he did those few years without a great team. LeBron went to one of the worst franchises in sports and played with Mo Williams. The Heat will win it this year
Mj is really the only true clutch player. If wade is clutch why did he not win the finals this year? Mello? Barkley never won a ring, clutch?

kobe for lebron!!!
LOL FORGET THAT...KOBE'S WAY BETTER THAN LEBRON!! YEA HE'S OLD BUT BETTER!!! Kobe rode Shaq hell yah. Those Laker TEAMS were great. They lost 1 game the entire playoffs one year. That was just Kobe? The Heat have been together one year and youre writing them off like theyve been together their whole careers. I cant wait until LeBrons 15th year either, because itll be who is Kobe? Im pretty sure Shaq won those 3 finals MVPs.
Kobe rode shaq? Ok the reason that kobe shoots the ball so much is he as no one around him. And lebron has wade, and bosh but cant win.. Kobe has played through injuries and had the pressure of being a laker. And i cant wait to see lebron in his 15th year. he wont be nearly close to kobe's level now. Kobe is better hands down
Does anybody actually realize there is more to basketball than just hard stats
Clutch doesnt make him better. Compare the stats. Youre stupid that you think clutch makes him better. So Horry is better than Kobe? Thats what youre saying because Horry was one of the clutchest players ever.
Im not a laker fan so you just sound stupid making assumptions that you have no idea about. kobe is still better today then lebrick. kobe is a clutch player. how about lebrick. he disappears in the 4th quarter because he cant make shots. hence the name frozen one or lebrick
He's past kobe's level, all around. Kobe rode shaq to 3 titles earlier in his career. and those laker teams would have won those titles without kobe. who made those clutch shots? horry and fisher, it wasn't kobe. you're a stupid laker fan who thinks youll get dwight and dwill for bynum and gasol im sure and you think ebanks is the future of the nba. now enjoy having a great player in kobe, but one who is not as talented as lebron ALL AROUND. if he was you wouldn't need a pg right now to run your offense because you no longer run the triangle. if you want to compare players, look at individual stats, not team rings. kobe didn't win those titles alone.
Lebrick will never get to kobes level
Whats the point of posting this? It would never happen, not to mention IT WOULDNT EVEN WORK. Both teams are over the cap and Kobe makes around 9 million more a year. Seems to me you should be worried about the Lakers finding a point guard to help with their offense.
Kobe is better? Kobe is great dont get me wrong, but he shoots a ton of shots (he has to) and is a scorer. Lebron is one of the best all around players ever. You do realize in 9 seasons he has HOF numbers right now? he recently became the 17th player in league history with 17000 points, 4500 rebounds, and 4500 assists. In 9 seasons! The first 13 are in the HOF. The other 3? Gary Payton, KG, and Kobe (who has played 7 more season I think) Rings dont make Kobe better. Lebron played with Mo Williams. Kobe played with Shaq + others. To say Kobe is "better" is stupid. A better shooter? Yes. A more fierce competitor? Yes. Kobe's game winners fg % is 33% (thanks mostly to a crazy 7/11 in the 09-10 season) Lebrons is 22%. Give him some time to mature.

Lakernation do not fear!! The Lakers will get about 150 mill extra starting next yr!! If they dont do anything major by the deadline our future will still shine britest cuzwe are the baddest and richest team!! Klove, dwill,dwight etc etc can all be Lakers in due time!! Laker fans are stupid. they dont know what the value of players are, or how the salary cap works, or the difference between there, their, and they're. look at THEIR trade offers and thats all that needs to be said. They think Ebanks is the future of the NBA, and he cant beat out Artest for playing time, and that pg with the last name that starts with G is the second coming of Kobe. If you need more examples scroll down the pages of this site. there is nothing more that needs to be said.
You know there is a salary cap right?
and if your over the cap which the lakers are you can only offer the MLE. so how you going to get klove (who signed a 4 yr extention) dwill and dwight who will cost more then the MLE
02 Feb 2012 17:43:58
Lakers will never win another championship in this decade unless they trade gasol or bynum for dwill, trade bynum for howard,or trade bynum and gasol plus blake, artest, then either trade fisher and walton or they retire then amnesty kobe to sign dwill and howard plus in process of trading players get a couple good players to play with howard and dwill.. If they miss out howard will sign with best option to win..
So nets plans to secure howard.. First get a good draft pick best sf available.. plus can sign gerald wallace.. got brooks at two, resign lopez to play four. Sign back up pg like baron davis.. and nick young also.. They can then sign howard then resign humphries and dwill, remember they got bird rights to resign those two.
dwill/davis
Brooks/young/morrow
Wallace/draft pick
Lopez/humphries
Howard/petro
Lakers could trade up team and at end of season have howard, KOBE,sessions,and turk .. First amnesty kobe Then sign dwill and others to make team then use bird rights to resign howard so he get max.. Howard would like this so he get more money plus win a ring. Lakers just need to get best available free agents.Lakers trade gasol, bynum, and blake for howard, turk and redick then pay redick guaranteed money then magic get him back on new contract after season..
Trade artest, walton and he agree to retire, and jmr plus two first round picks for jamison and lakers take sessions with excemption and future first round.. Fisher for a future second round pick which would force him to retire and trade wouldn't occur.. They need kobe to score. Amnesty kobe? Laker fans would go crazy but then talk about how "overrated" he is.
02 Feb 2012 16:22:11
Houston: Ray Allen + Avery Bradley + Wilcox
Celtics: Lee + Hill + 2st rd dp How about
Celtics get: kevin martin and jordan hill
Rockets get: ray allen, Chris wilcox, avery bradley and a 1 st round pick
Ok, but then the Celtics would have to send 1st and 2nd rd dp.
Kevin martin instead of lee
02 Feb 2012 15:56:33
Cavs trade sessions, jamison, parker, gibson before the years out?
02 Feb 2012 06:14:02
Okay, so im hearing that JimBuss doesnt want to trade Bynum and obviously Orl will not do a pau for dwight straight up. And if dwight were to come to LA he wants pau to be alongside him. So the only way i see us getting dwight is on nba2k12! Therfore, pau is our only asset but what can we get?? On the other hand, LA just got a zillion $$$ on a new cable deal so im sure if they really wanted to they can go over the cap more and pay the excess taxes cuz theyll have enough cheese. Either way, i think they gotta trade pau!
02 Feb 2012 05:15:28
Trade exception is: I'll tell you an example right away:
Ray Allen to sacramento for 2(2nd rounders) when a team trade a player for picks or cash will have a trade exception the same as The Traded player in the example (Allen) 10m
Boston can use it in another trade like boston trade 2nd round pick to the bobcats for Diaw and you can only use it in single player trades
(Lamar odom got traded to dallas for picks then the lakers recieved a trade exception 8.9m and you will say how dallas took odom and they are a tax paying team the answer is that dallas themselves have a trade exception of Chandler)
02 Feb 2012 02:41:22
lol just tried this trade on the nba trade machine
lakers trade luke walton, steve blake, derek fisher, darrius morris, devan ebanks, derrick caracter to magic for dwight howard
and with 10 players on the lakers roster they get + 9 wins WTF??
Those players together aren't scoring half as Dwight on 1 game!!
Dwight isn't coming to L.A!!
02 Feb 2012 02:36:58
lakers use trade exception to aquire lamar odom...lakers should have never traded him he sucks in dallas plays better in L.A.
02 Feb 2012 02:14:57
some explain wat is an nba trade exception
can the team get anyone without trading someone Basicly a trade exeption is when a team give up a larger contract to a team below the cap or for a smaller contract and get the diffrence in a exception that can be traded for a player with a contract of equal or less anual pay
02 Feb 2012 02:01:05
I hope lakers draft Austin rivers I guess u plan on the lakers not making the playoffs then
02 Feb 2012 01:54:08
some tell me im not sure how the trade exception works
01 Feb 2012 16:08:44
Alright yes I am a Cavs fan BUT I can still dream
Cleveland get D12 and Hedo's horrible contract...
Orlando get Andy,two first round picks and either Antwan's contract which expires this year or Ramon Sessions...maybe even both... Impossible or not? Impossible. None of those players are good. Two first rounders look nice but will probably be middle of the pac.
01 Feb 2012 11:22:29
Imagine if Clippers didn;t trade away their pick in last yr's draft...

All talented young players under 23 with HUGE potential. In 2-3 yrs, that team could contend depending on player development. Wow... I'd rather have 19yr old Irving, already 16th in the NBA in PER....much much higher ceiling
I would rather have CP3
So your saying u would rather have irving then cp3? lol
01 Feb 2012 11:01:04
lakers fans just don't get that you need to package both bigs to get dwight.. stop posting horrible trades please, you all stink
01 Feb 2012 05:56:59
Just seen this page for the first time and I can already tell Lakers fans make alot of BS trades...Lakers are not getting DWill or D12 they will both go to either the Nets or Mavs. Gotta get over it guys

Unprotected 1st round pick (probably top 3), Austin Daye and Vernon Macklin for Eric Gordon. Um, yeah sure. We got Stuckey, Gordon, and Knight, and we'll make a trade for a fourth starting gaurd who we may bolt after this season. Simply put, DUMBEST TRADE EVER!!
I doubt Detroit's giving their pick, even if it's for Eric Gordon.
01 Feb 2012 01:32:51
What if the Lakers fired Mike Brown and sign-and-trades Phil Jackson to the Orlando Magic for Stan Van Gundy and Dwight Howard That could be the dumbest thing ive ever read. Seriously
31 Jan 2012 19:50:13
cavaliers and rockets trade
cavs trade their two first round picks and anthony parker for kevin martin... Cavs have future first found picks of there own plus 2013 & 2015 from mia.. Cavs dont want martin.. Cavs r showing players there committed to winning and want nick young and wilson chandler..
Irving
Young
Chandler
Thompson
Verajae
Plus there gonna get at least tenth pick in draft or lower.. They could want kamen and young,lee, or gordon
Irving
One of those 2 guards
Thomson
Verajae
Kamen
I think cavs will trade sessions for both lakers pick and exemption and do something with jamison also..
They don't have two picks. They have theirs and a pick from the kings that has the following protections (2012 first round pick (protected top 14 in 2012, top 13 in 2013, top 12 in 2014, top 10 in 2015-17, else 2017 second round pick)

Cavs trade sesions to lakers for trade excemption and lakers first round 2012 unprotected.. That would free up cap to sign wilson chandler for four years 35 mil.. or The cavs could sign and trade him to toronto for jose and first round draft pick unprotected= great pick.. Raptors get who they want and have good team.. Jamison and triston thompson for gordon and jason maxiell plus first round pick lottery unprotected.. Detroit gets cap relief which they need and could amnesty charlie v and still get thompson who is a lottery pick with one year experience.. cavs would get three lottery picks in great draft but not done yet.. Can trade verajae for hinrich plus first round draft unprotected.. That trade give atl a center for now plus the hawks could trade smith next year.. Cavs trade verajae for cap relief.. All these trades r easy and benefit each team..
Irving/jose/gibson
Gordon/hinrich
Casspi/ gee
Maxiell/samuels
Hollins/erden
Cavs would really suck but be well prepared for future and gordon, and jose would only be on team for this year and next.. Hinrich and maxiell just this year.. So cavs win big but help teams save money and get what they need.. Especially lakers, atl, and raptors.. Please comment
31 Jan 2012 04:36:15
Im not a Jazz Fan but Gordon Hayward is going to be a very good player if he adds some more strength and improves his low post game he could be a great player and play 3 positions he has Grant Hill(Before Injury) potential.

Agreed. Most of them deserve it anyways. I mean, most a them weren't Cleveland fans before LeBron turned up.
I think he is worth more then that. how about the washer and the dryer. 2 for 1 special lmao
And your team went straight to the worst in the nba. Ahh, cleveland fans, when will you learn?
30 Jan 2012 21:20:43
Lakers have had preliminary talks regarding PG Ramon Sessions. Looks like they want him and Gilbert Arenas. You can have sessions, all he does is turn it over smh......
Ramon AND gilbert? Oh s**t look out OKC CHI and MIA. Haha, sad to see the Lakers this low theyre counting on Gilbert amd Sessions

Why would cavs get draft pick and melo?

Nba has the worst officials in all of sports.
watching the bulls and heat i believe i witnessed the worst officiating ive seen in the nba. I realize that the bulls had calls for them too but dwayne wade clearly had his foot out of bounze at the missed free throw and lebron had an early jump on the jump ball... which shouldnt have even been a jump ball.
also, the announcers, who i usually respect, were sucking up to lebron every chance they could.. i excpected more out of jeff van gundy.
heat suck, nba officiating wants them to go to the finals for more viewers.
sincerley, nba fan Im a heat fan and i agree lebron and wade get bs calls. So does kobe and others as well. VanGundy was right though rose does that head snap that makes it look like hes getting fouled when hes not. How about the to called while he was walkimg with the ball? NBA refs are by far the worst in all of sports though.
Bulls had no deng, no watson and lost only by 4 on the road. bulls win that game easily if deng plays
Bulls fan: I agree the refs were bad. Nobody is mentioning the boozer charge with Haslem still sliding over or the three Heat hands that hit Rose on his follow through the final shot of the game w/ no call. If that was Wade of James that call is made. The refs are a joke in the NBA. They made bad calls both ways in that game. I won't blame the refs for our loss. The better team won. But when the playoffs come around the NBA better have the right staff on the court. A foul is a foul. Call it like it is. Don't give James and Wade every call b/c they cry to the refs every drive and then not give Rose a call b/c he isn't a little b***h. Rose doesn't usually complain unless he gets hit on the head (twice yesterday w/ no call). On a side not it was pretty funny/sad that Boozers kids were saying lets go Heat.
Heat is the best? Luol deng... the best defender on the bulls didnt even play haha i cant wait for the game at the UC and we'll see that those chumps cant win
That's just an excuse because you hate Heat!!
They have proven themselves, and maybe it was strange decisions but we have seen worse calls...Officials suck??
That the game was at "United center", would you complain??
Everybody are guilty for loss from Heat, but admit it...HEAT is the best!!
I agree officials suck. I also believe youre a bulls fan. Wade was clearly INbounds and Rose got a to called while he was walking with the ball. Saying the heat suck is pretty dumb as well when theyre clearly the cream of the nba crop this season
I couldnt agree more. officials were terrible. gibson blocks lebricks shot and they call a foul bc lebrick falls to the ground. nba needs to get some new officials who dont get paid by the heat

OK,I don't know why everybody talking just about Lakers...Yes,they have an amazing Kobe(by the way,he doesn't know what is passing)and who else?
MWP,Goudelock,Gasol?C'mon,face it!They are PAST!They don't have quality players to give for D12,D-Will,Love and another...Pau is old and useless,but he will still be an All-Star..Some young,talented guys wont be at AS game 2012 like Aldridge,J-Smoove,Lowry and another because nf Gasol!He is barely averaging 15 p,9 rbs...I dont wanna talk about rest of the team,except Bynum...I think that he is only bright thing in LAL...And they are 11-9!!Maybe they wont be in playoffs,so finally understand what I'm saying!!
LAKERS ARE NOT FAVORITES,THEY ARE OUTSIDERS AND THEY WILL NOT BECOME A CHAMPIONS IN NEXT YEARS!

On current standings...
1. Charlotte - C A.Drummond
2. Washington - PF A.Davis
3. Detroit - PF J.Sullinger
4. New Orleans - SG J.Lamb
5. Toronto - SF H.Barnes
6. Sacramento - SF M.Kidd-Gilchrist
7. Golden State - PF T.Robinson
8. Phoenix - SG B.Beal
9. New Jersey - PF P.Jones
10. New York - SG A.Rivers
11. Cleveland - PF A.Moultrie
12. Milwaukee - C M.Leonard
13. New Orleans (MIN) - SG T.Wroten
14. Boston - PF J.Henson
NOTE: Anthony Davis is number 1 player but Charlotte already have Tyrus Thomas at PF who plays similar to Davis. Need a big presence at Centre.
NOTE: Jared Sullinger is an NBA ready PF, Detroit has enough guards so Lamb is NO. They also just signed Prince to an extension and have Austin Daye waiting in the wings at SF so Barnes is NO.
NOTE: Tony Wroten is a biggest Draft smokie in my opinion, a 6'5" super atheletic guard in the mould of Tyreke Evans.
Please add some thoughts :) I swear Stern better not set it up so the hornets get the number one pick because we need Andre Drummond.
I agree, but I see Barnes going number 4 but other than that I like what you wrote
Hmmm, Sullinger would be acceptable(I guess), but I still think Anthony Davis is the main target for Detroit. We've had the worst shot-blocking team in the league for the last 2+ years. Need I say more?
You know the Cavs need another power forward to go with the 4 they already have...that's exactly what I was thinking...I probably wouldn't draft a need like sf or c
29 Jan 2012 00:09:38
Is there any truth to the following draft picks...
-Chicago recieve Charlotte 1st Rd Pick (Tyrus Thomas Trade 2010)
-Utah recieve Golden Staet 1st Rd Pick (Deron Williams trade 2011)
-Houston recieve New York 1st Rd Pick (Tracy McGrady trade 2010)
-New Orleans recieve Minnesota 1st Rd Pick (Chris Paul trade 2011)
Thats what NBA Draft Net has? The Charlotte pick for bulls is protected utill 2015

Trade Gasol for 1st round picks and maybe some bench players also get some salary back He is averaging 16+ ppg..and look at his PER....he is certainly above average but also certainly not a superstar...and I'm not a Lakers fan I hate the Lakers I'm from NE Ohio
Has no one noticed gasol is not good

So now let me get this straight:
1) New York is already talking about trading Carmelo Anthony.
That was bizarre enough, BUT NOW....
2) People are actually talking about trading Lebron James back to Cleveland!?!?
Wow, I guess the world IS coming to an end this year after all.

lakers = howard and turk

obviously howard through domination of bynum has shown the lakers need to give up more. need to give something to get something, and if you want the best big man in the game.

I just had a dream, the lakers had won the 2012 NBA finals vs the Heat in 6 games.
They were running:
C-Howard

SF-World Peace

PG-Fisher
I just had to post this up cus yall know this is definately happening!! Right now Howard knows he has no chance against the against the Heat, Bulls or the Celtics without any help, taken that the Magic have choked twice against the Celtics ( they had no ray allen, no jermaine oneall & no rondo) in a playoff atmosphere game. Thats just downright no bueno! Kobe's is getting a sixth, you can count on that. I had a dream the 49ers beat the giants on a justin smith sack. What do we call a false reality? DREAMS
And how do you propose this lineup would come about? Trading just Andrew Bynum. Give me a break. You'd need to bring in a third party for that to even be considered. Magic can get way more than some injury prone, sometimes hot, sometimes cold, immature centre. Lakers fan.
Clippers, thunder, heat, bulls, are all still better then the lakers

lakers get stoudemire
knicks get gasol Why would the Lakers do that?
Gasol is nowhere near the skill of amere
27 Jan 2012 01:59:18
Lakers should keep their draft picks and try to get:
As PG
1. Austin Rivers
2. Bradley Beal
3. Tony Wroten
4. Marquis Teague
5. Myck Kabongo
As SF
1. Terrence Jones
2. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
As Center
Fab Melo
and before people think that i mean they can get them all I don't but they can one of them or maybe two if they trade Gasol bench players and draft picks and also will give Lakers more salary caps I really like Fab Mello (JF!). Lots of potential. Guess he could be a shot blocker machine if coached rightly. And boy he can certainly shoot!
Yeah they wont soon but get rid of Gasol will help and they are young and can be coach to be a PG and if not remember Shannon Brown played PG even though he wasn't
Theyre not getting under the cap anytime soon. Rivers and beal will be more sgs
26 Jan 2012 22:43:15
Hey Net fans, did it ever occur to you that maybe the reason Deron Williams is playing so poorly is because he doesnt WANT to play there? I say trade him now! Before he bolts at the end of the season and you get nothing(and dont give me any of this Dwight Howard/Brook Lopez crap!!) Ok thats true. Brook Lopez has been out all year and now James will miss the rest of the season. Still think they shouldnt just let Deron walk. If I were Jersey, I'd still consider that deal of Williams to Portland for Felton/GWallace that I saw on here many times. Seems to help both sides and Deron goes to a winning team. At least the Blazers, imo, have a better chance of signing him long term after this season.
I think he is playing bad because he is on a really bad team. He has little to no help right now.
I would still wanna try and get something for him considering Nets gave up so much to get him(Harris/Favors/2 1st round picks).
If he leaves they get cap room to sign free agents. they have said they would rather take the cap room then bad contracts
26 Jan 2012 22:34:56
I'm prob the only person who still thinks Knicks can do well this season but it all depends on Baron Davis
He can still be a decent point guard which the knicks need big time my reason why knicks can do well if Davis is healthy and as good as he can be.
1, His career assist average is 7.3 which when he plays with Stoudemire, Anthony, Chandler and Shumpert he should be close to that or beat it.
2, His career points average is 16.3 which if he can match would be great.
3, Anthony won't hog the ball as Davis will be floor general which knicks haven't had so far this season.
4, Stoudemire will improve as he always does well with a decent point guard which he hasn't had.
5, Roll players like Shumpert, Fields, Douglas and Harrellson will have better opportunities to score as won't be left with rubbish shots as Anthony won't get all the looks with Davis on the floor.
6, Chandler and Stoudemire will have a point guard who can do the pick and roll with them in Davis.
7, Shumpert can be moved to shooting guard as to me is best suitted there.
Pg Davis, Bibby, Lin
Sg Shumpert, Fields, Douglas
Sf Anthony, Walker, Balkman
Pf Stoudemire, Harrellson, Novak
C Chandler, Jefferies, Jordan
If Davis can stay fit and play to how he can play Knicks offence will improve and they will start winning more games. But I'm prob have a ton of disagrees They can make the playoffs but wont make it to the 2nd rd
26 Jan 2012 21:35:23
Jazz-rockets
Rockets get: Devin Harris, Enes Kanter, 1st round pick
Jazz get: Kyle Lowry, Terrence Williams, 2nd round pick

jazz get the pass-first pg that they want, and a sf with a lot of potential. rockets get a young scoring point guard, and extremely talented big man, and an ok first round pick

Suns and Clippers need to trade
Suns get Mo Willams,Eric Bledsoe,Ryan Gomes total salary around 14 million
Clippers get Steve Nash 11.5 million
Id tried this trade on NBA trade machine it works and it make sense for both teams to me Mo Willams can score more points than Steve Nash but Steve Nash Does'nt turnover the ball as much as Mo Willams Eric Bledsoe will be a great backup point Why would the Clippers waste their time and recourses trading for Steve Nash? They already have a better point guard.
Chris Paul?
26 Jan 2012 09:46:17
New York and Boston should both be willing to give up one or two of their starplayers to get younger and more versitile, this is some underated players i think they should aim for:
Thiago Splitter
Chris Kaman
Nicolas Batum
Courtney Lee
Eric Gordon
Anyone agree or have an idea hw to get some of those players?
26 Jan 2012 08:58:21
Eventually Nets the big opponent for Dallas in the Trade-Szenario. NYN playing in New York next year - and they have much cap space two - the same way like dallas. And they can run the same plan.
Sign Howard with a max contract and resign D-Will for max. Sign Wilson Chandler and Eric Gordon as free agents for 10mil each and there is another big value - sign and trade their Center Lopez for a big man like Beasley, Scola or Favors - dangerous for the Mavs.
26 Jan 2012 08:11:07
Mavs and fans, i think its a half and a half chance - to sign D12 and D-Will! But only if they free agents in the summer, i think.
Have a lock to Bosh and LeBrown - Mavs and Fans can hope!
At first, there are not much Superstars out their in the Summer, Love and Griffin extend their contracts already.
There is a small risk for a trade with the Clippers (Jordon/Griffin) - but i dont think the will trade their Franchise-Play - Griffin - i hope. : )
The Lakers are also opponent. But Gasol isnt one fire, so i dont think Nets will trade him for D-Will and Orlando hopfully calculate not enough value and a too high risk at Bynums injury rate.
CHI always have a good team and Noah/Boozer for Howard/Anderson - i dont think so - i think Orlando will build arround Anderson.
New York can offer Stoudimire for D-Will or eventually Anthony - no, dont think so.
So there is a good chance for Dallas in the summer! At least there is a thought for sign and trade possibilities - or upgrade the Mavs roster without D12 and D-Will.
I think Dallas have to plan trade for march 15. If there is no possibility to trade for D12 or D-Will the following trade should done. This trade upgrade the roster for a champions run this season. And in the summer, Dallas can sign or sign an trade their main targets D12 and D-Will or complete some new contracts with their roster.
Trade on March 15.:
Dallas:
- Kaman
- Session
New Orleans:
- Odom
- Hollins
Cleveland:
- Haywood
- Jones
- Cleveland lands a Center Upgrade and a SG talent with starter calibre.
- New Orleans bring in a Center Backup and a PF starter (Landry isnt hot). They can flexible plan with Odom for next season or exit his contract in the summer.
- Dallas upgrade a solid Center and a talent PG for the older Kidd. In the Summer Dallas can extend their contracts or not. But Varajeo is at first a PF!
Haywood is not better than varajeo

Read this article to any ignorant people who think that Amare was the solution:
www.cleveland.com/ohio-sports-blog/index.ssf/2012/01/lebron_james_11.html
In fact it was Lebron who WANTED Jamison and not Amare.
Im a heat fan, but all of us are ignorant and cruel to Cleveland. What if Wade left us? We would've done the same as Cleveland, burned jerseys and complained. We're a great team, we just aren't unstoppable. Trade wade for dwight. Only happens if dwight demands a trade though. Joel/wade/chalmers for dwight/hedo
Lebron disappoints me though. That article shows why players shouldnt have say in trades. Think of cle then
Pg Mo Will
Sg west?
Sf lbj
Pf amare
C varajeo
I mean thats a stout 5
Not surprised LeBron would want Jamison over Amare. He cares too much about other things than bball to ever be considered in kobe and mjs class
I say this even when Lebron is my fav player
25 Jan 2012 20:45:55
This is what Chris Broussard said after saying the Lakers should send Pau Gasol and Darius Morris to Houston for Kyle Lowry and Luis Scola
"Houston is dying to add a star...and it will pay handsomely for one. In Houston, Gasol can return to the post...where he could give the Rockets a nice inside-outside punch with Kevin Martin... with Scola, the Lakers wouldn't lose one of their strengths -- their size. Bynum and Gasol are the best center-PF combo in the game, but Bynum and Scola wouldn't be much of a drop-off." Not Kyle Lowry. He is to valueable for Houston - and they already trade Brooks.
Lakers would have to throw in both their 1st round picks for this deal to happen.
25 Jan 2012 19:49:36
Watching the Lakers, I dont understand why all their fans want D12 so bad. They made the trade for cp3 because 1. theyre smarter than all their fans and 2. because they need a PG not a center. Also, Orlando obviously doesn't want Bynum or Gasol and GTFOH with the MWP trades and other BS offers. ComeonMannn Yes! Exchange Bynumn / Howard is not the key move for the Lakers! And what is the future for Howard? And the Nets surely dont trade D-Will for Gasol.
25 Jan 2012 18:10:31
So now that OKC has committed over $150million to Westbrook & Durant over the next 5 years, what do you think is gonna happen with James Harden & Serge Ibaka? Think they will be able to afford THEIR extensions? Just something to think about because I seriously doubt they wanna part with either of those two. Why would Harden/Ibaka leave?
Pretty sure the Thunder will keep all 4. I would trade Westbrook for Nash + picks/other assets though.
25 Jan 2012 17:20:57
Hedo Turkoglu to be traded to LA Lakers and orlando to get kobe Best trade ever!
25 Jan 2012 14:27:42
I love how people make up rumors that are A. Not true and probably never will be. B. Look like something you would see out of NBA 2k12. C. Don't even work because they don't meet the salary limit, the team doesn't have the salary to get them, or the team specified no interest in trading that player
25 Jan 2012 13:57:24
I just wanted to post some players on here that will not be going to Lakers for Caracter, Ebanks, Blake or Goudelock!
all 4 of them suck so dont think any team will give up a starter for any of the names above!
Here is a list of players (that Lakerfans think they can get) that will not be traded to LA Lakers unless they give up Bynum or something really good:
Brandon Jennings
Kyle Lowry
Deron Williams
Dwight Howard
Rajon Rondo
Paul Pierce
Steve Nash
Kevin Love
So to have any of the above, you (LAKERS) have to give up something big (the other teams are not idiots!)
25 Jan 2012 06:36:47
Ther onla thang i like moore than me pear of wranglers is me caverleers of cleevlund. I hope weez trade that ram-on seasons fer a good forwerd like danny ferry. I also beez hopen we get leron jones to to cum back to our taime!! Uh, what?
25 Jan 2012 02:10:50
Kevin love just signed 4 yr 62 million extention
now laker fans you realize you WONT GET HIM Done deal now take that LA geeks!
He hasnt signed it YET! But is expected to tommorow, hopefully.
25 Jan 2012 00:13:25
Just having fun on the trade machine and came up with this idea:
4 Team Trade
Celtics-Lakers-Nets-Warriors
Celtics Receive
-Dorell Arthur
-MWP
-Draft Pick (GSW)
Lakers Receive
-Deron Williams
Nets Receive
-Monta Ellis
-Pau Gasol
-(Trade Exception from Odom-Lakers)
-Draft Pick (Lakers)
Warriors Receive
-Paul Pierce
-Devin Ebanks
-Draft Pick (Celtics)
The trade would've worked if they let you use the trade exception that the Lakers have.
I tried to make things fair for all teams. It seem good to me. I think the Celtics get another 3 Point Shooter in Dorell Arthur and a defense off the bench. I know MWP sucks. But he can have his nights. Really? Definately a Laker fan.
First of all you mean Dorrell Wright. Second of all that could not be a more stupid trade for the celtics. The give up Pierce, Get Wright who is not that good and already have Ray Allen to bring what Wright provides. Second of all MWP is terrible. The celtics dont want to take on his ridiculous contract. And the Celtics giving away a pick is stupid as they are trying to rebuild next season. Overall a terrible not thought out trade proposal
24 Jan 2012 23:23:33
andre miller and j hamilton to the heat for mike miller and udonias haslem Why would the Nuggets do that?
24 Jan 2012 19:41:00
Please Lakers, DO NOT trade Andrew Bynum!! He's youre future! Don't forget that he's only 24 years old still and he's going to get better. Stop all this crap about a Dwight Howard trade because it's not happening anyway. And you dont need him. What you need is point gaurd help. I would trade Gasol because you already have Troy Murphy and Josh McRoberts at the PF as well. But dont trade Bynum. I repeat, DONT TRADE HIM!!
24 Jan 2012 19:35:14
The Cavs have Antawn Jamisons huge expiring contract. How do you think they should use it? They already have PF Tristan Thompson ready to start and could use Jamisons deal to acquire other talent. Lets hear some ideas! Maybe jamison and a firstbround pick or two to rockets for kevin martin?
24 Jan 2012 19:22:07
I'll say it again. The only possible trade the Lakers can make is moving Gasol(while he still has good value) for some young pieces, a point gaurd, and a backup center perhaps). Getta Real Name has a horrible contract, so does Steve Blake, and most people dont even KNOW the rest of your roster aside from 75-year old Derek Fisher. So trade Gasol now. And please, dont think for one SECOND that youre gonna get D-Will or D12 for Gasol, no matter how many 1st round picks you throw in to the deal.
24 Jan 2012 19:05:34
Im not a nets or wolves fan but i was thinking if the wolves would trade love if he doesnt sign a extension.
I was thinking they would want another young bigman and since new jersey want williams to stay they would want as much talent as posible.
So brook lopez for kevin love
Assuming love doesnt sign a extension They can get more for Love then that.
24 Jan 2012 18:30:05
being that howard and shaq can't stand each other, i doubt howard would like to follow in shaq's footsteps and leave orlando for the lakers....
24 Jan 2012 17:58:12
Wizards officially fire Flip Saunders as head coach. This will sound a lil bizarre, but maybe they should make a phone call to some Wizards/Bullets great retired player to be their next coach(you know, to help establish some sort of PRIDE with that team). Jeff Malone? Elvin Hayes? Walt Bellamy? Just thought I'd throw this out there.
24 Jan 2012 16:04:41
Most likely Deron Williams will leave New Jersey for Dallas after this season. Here is a trade scenario for both teams.
New Jersey:
Since the only thing they would get out of holding(renting) Deron Williams leaving would be a trade exception the Nets go into damage control mode.
Nets get
Monta Ellis
Jeremy Tyler
Warriors get
MarShon Brooks
Damion James
Jordan Farmar
Johann Petro
They then target OJ Mayo in free agency, and Antawn Jamison, as well as get Andrei Kirilenko back from Russia(cause he is good friends with Prokhorov) and acquire Brendan Haywood via Trade w/ Mavericks.
2013 Line-up Nets
PG-Ellis/Gaines
SG-Mayo/Morrow/Stevenson
SF-Kirilenko/S. Williams
PF-Humphries/Jamison
C-Lopez/Haywood
*borderline playoff team. 7th or 8th seed depending on Lopez's development.
2013 Line-ups GSW
PG-Curry/Robinson
SG-Brooks/Thompson
SF-Wright/Rush
PF-Lee/Amundson
C-Beidrins/Udoh
*that is an amazing 4-man wing rotation there. probably 9th seed team. Still needs starting caliber Center.
Mavericks:
Acquire Deron Williams via sign and trade. In order to make cap room waive Marion and trade away Brendan Haywood. Target Chris Kaman, Dahntay Jones in offseason. Resign Jason Terry, Shawn Marion and Jason Kidd to provide depth. Trade for Rip Hamilton.
Dallas-Chicago-Minnesota Trade
Dallas gets
Rip Hamilton
Chicago gets
JJ Barea
Vince Carter
2nd Rnd Pick(Wolves)
Minesota gets
Rodrique Beaubois
2nd Rnd Pick(Dallas)
2013 Dallas Lineup
PG-D. Williams/Kidd
SG-Hamilton/Terry
SF-Marion/D. Jones
PF-Dirk/Jianlian/B. Wright
C- Kaman/Mahinmi
*championship caliber team. gives Dallas a few more years to compete for the championship.
Thoughts on this one. Tnx. Bulls wont trade rip. any team could of signed him and he choose the bulls
Bulls fan. Don't need Barea have Watson. Carter suks. We like what we have seen from Rip so far.
24 Jan 2012 15:37:00
The Celtics would be wise to try to sign Gilbert Arenas to back up Rondo. He has still something left in the tank and would be very motivated playing for a contender like Boston. #wemissagentzero!
24 Jan 2012 15:34:48
last time i looked this is called nba trade rumors.com not lakers haters.com john wall mcgee and blatche jennings bougt and jackson 1st rounder wizards are horrible and jennings is so in-consistant Then quit posting stupid trades nobody wants your garbage and that is what your bench is gasol is old and yes he is good but not for young upcoming players like love and established players like howard
24 Jan 2012 03:04:06
If the rumors are true, i hope we do not tradebfor Pierce!! On another note, if D12 goes to NY for Amare and Tyson, that would be cool
24 Jan 2012 02:27:54
i dont think any of the big three will be traded especially not pierce hes a celtic for life like kobe is a laker for life
btw idc if u make bad trades just spell there names right that pisses me off
24 Jan 2012 00:59:07
Cleveland recieves=
-Ben Gordon
-Austin Daye
-Jason Maxiell
-2012 2nd round pick
Detroit recieves=
-Antawn Jamison Cleveland needs a 2-gaurd, and they already have Tristan Thompson. Meanwhile, Detroit needs to clear up cap room.
If cleveland takes gordons bad contract. pistons will have to give up a 1st rd pick not a 2nd
24 Jan 2012 00:01:24
Lakers trade Luke Walton for Dwight Howard and Deron Williams plus 28 1st Round Picks from the Magic and Nets. Then maybe Steve Blake for Kevin Durant.
In your dreams Lakers fans! You'll never get D-12 or D-Will (and definitely not KD)!!
23 Jan 2012 22:57:40
Dallas Mavericks
As Mark Cuban I'd make this deal to clear enough cap space to sign Dwight Howard and Deron Williams for max contracts.
Mavs/Cavs trade:
Mavs get:
Antwan Jamison (expiring contract)
2012 2nd Round Pick
Cavs get:
Shawn Marion
Brendan Haywood
-------------------------
Cleveland Cavaliers
PG: Kyrie Irving
SG: Anthony Parker
SF: Shawn Marion
PF: Tristan Thompson
C: Anderson Varajao
-------------------------
With Jason Kidd, Jason Terry, Antwan Jamison and Lamar Odom (Option) expiring the Mavs will clear around $45 million enough to sign D-12 and D-Will to contracts that max or close to it. (The two stars have the Mavs on the list of teams they want to play on.) Then sign the JET and a SF (maybe Wilson Chandler when he's back from China) to a MLE contract.
Dallas Mavericks
PG: Deron Williams
SG: Vince Carter
SF: Wilson Chandler
PF: Dirk Nowitski
C: Dwight Howard
6th Man: Jason Terry
*2012-13 Champions*
The 3D!! (Deron, Dwight, D Good. To sign Wilson Chandler is a good idea too!
But the Mavs must not trade Haywood, Marion right now. They can amnesty one of them at the end of the season and both are good players to also trades are posibile for some other value or Picks!
So the cavs take on 2 bad contracts and give up a 2nd rd pick.
some major flaws in your trades
23 Jan 2012 22:55:49
Guys, do you remember in 2007 when Kobe Bryant exploded and demanded a trade from the Lakers? What happened after that? The Lakers went out and got Pau Gasol. And guess what, Kobe didnt complain again after that. Now last I checked, Dwight Howards trade request still stands. Now I'm not saying he's staying or going. I'm just saying that if the Magic were to try to acquire another superstar to pair with Howard, maybe he would change his mind like Kobe did. Again, just something to think about. Anthony,wade, chalmers for dwight and hedo is the best offer they could get
Andrew Bynums has a rough injury history too, and NO ONE wants Getta Real Name's terrible contract.
The thing is, the Magic don't have any assets to trade and are stuck with Turks insanely ugly contract. Their only hope would be to trade Dwight for the best possible deal they could find and that is with the Lakers. Nets can only offer up an injured Brooke Lopez while the Lakers pony up Andrew Bynum.
Trade Scenario:
Lakers get
Dwight Howard
Quentin Richardson
Magic get
Andrew Bynum
Jason Thompson
Devin Ebanks
Steve Blake
Kings get
Metta World Peace
Andrew Goudlock
1st Rnd Pick(LAL)
At first I thought you were gonna say the Lakers get Dwight Howard from the way you talked about Kobe attracting another star.

You Lakers fans GOTTA stop with these wild trades NOBODY wants Gasol,MWP Your team does not have the pieces to get any quality players via trade, Looks like a long rebuild mode for the Lakers just like all the other teams in the NBA.
Most of these players you guys are talking about LOVE, Rubio, howard, DWILL,PIERCE are not gonna come through a trade you will have to hope for free agents.
Love will resign in Minnesota rubio is there future get over it! If i were the wolves I sure would not want Gasol with love as trade bait they could get much better players than him. minnesota is pretty strong in forwards so I would go after SG or a center not a overrated almost over the hill Gasol.
Rather have KG back than Gasol he would sell out the Target center
ITs not just the fans its sports columnist but teams do want gasol, i guarantee u if love dont sign extension minny would love to have gasol.. There alot of teams who want gasol but have no chance getting him.. If we dont get our players in trade then when we get cap in two years we gonna have soup lines of players wanna play with the lakers..
23 Jan 2012 12:59:24
If D12 and D-Will wanno do it - Dallas can recieve them!
Dallas send Haywood and Jones to Atlanta for Hinrich.
Trade Hinrich and Odom to New Orleans for Kaman.
Sign Howard as free Agent next year or trade Kaman, Mahimi 2nd Pick 2012 to Orlando for Howard.
Sign D-Will as free Agent next year or trade Kidd and Beaubois and 2nd Pick 2013 for Williams if NYN want something back.
The Mavs, Dirk, D12 and D-Will can become dynasty. Haywood will get the amnesty to clear the space. Trade Marion for a 2nd rounder somewhere.
They want expiring contracts which neither gives them DA
Trade Haywood and Marion to Cavs for Antwan Jamison's expiring contract. I mean the Cavs do need D and a good SF, which they get.
Trade robby b, marion and odom to boston For kg, then Use Amnesty on heywood.. There u go cap space to sign them both but they end up in lakerland cause lakers gonna make it happen..
Haywood is untradable. Nobody will touch that bad contract w/ a 10 ft poll.
I dont see atlanta trading for haywood and his bad contract. he isnt good to begin with
Dynastyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Nice.
Yes they can!
23 Jan 2012 01:35:59
The biggest regret the Lakers are gonna end up having is that they traded Lamar Odom for basically nothing. Their over the cap, big time. So its not like they can just go out and sign someone to replace him. And their NOT going to get anything in return for that trade exception thats anywhere NEAR the value of Odom. Lakers cooling down - will see.
And the Tradeexcaption is not enough for e.g. Turkolgo when they targeting Howard & Turk from Orlando. Think the Lakers targeting for D-Will now - but Gasol is not in NYN focus.
