I despise the thug attitude of Bynum but if we paired him with LaMarcus that could be the twin towers we've dreamed of Oden being a part of. Bynum has loose ligaments in his knees so if he ends up injured and the curse continues where would we go from there? Not sure what talent they'd want, I'd assume Batum, Freeland, maybe something else? Then they could flip that talent in a Paul or Howard trade.

Camby, Oden, Bynum and Joel. We are getting close to a full season at the center spot with those 4. :D

Ha ha, yeah, if each of them could just get in 20 healthy games a year we'd have a full time center!

I guess I have no problem with that as long as the pieces he's referring to are Oden's and Roy's knees.
 
Sounds like a hypothetical suggestion.

The Lakers wouldn't trade Bynum to Portland of all places.
 
Him just saying I hope they don't.

If the Lakers get Okafor in the CP3 deal, I hope they don't spin Bynum to Indy, Minny or Portland for multiple pieces. That would scare me.

Other teams like NY, Boston, LA.

Rest of the league is doing about as much as the Blazers . . . not much.

A lot of teams are signing players, Sacramento, Toronto, etc. It's not just the big market teams. I'm not saying all of those signings are good, but teams are filling out their rosters and getting ready for the start of the season.

With no GM, just a bad college scout, a BFF and a coach, the Blazers sit by, watch their current players drop like flies and allow crap teams like Sacramento and Toronto pick-up serviceable big men like Chuck Hayes and Aaron Gray. I'm not saying we should have, or could have signed those guys, but we were thin upfront to begin with (we've needed a REAL back-up power forward for five years) and we now know Oden probably won't play at all this season (again) and Aldridge is out short term, we at least need to get some big bodies to fill out our active roster. Right now, the only players on our roster over 6'8" likely to be able to play on opening night are: Old and often injured Mar-cus Cam-by clap clap clap-clap-clap and D-leaguers Luke Babbitt, Chris Johnson and Earl Barron. Where's Sean Marks when you need him?

Suggesting Bynum (and all his knee issues) I think Bill Simmons is blatantly trolling Blazer fans.
 
Jason Quick @jwquick
Blazers search for a free agent big man narrowing in on 3 candidates: Reggie Evans, Kurt Thomas or Josh McRoberts.
 
Jason Quick @jwquick
Evans is at the top of the list, but Blazers would need full MLE to get it done. Blazers won't have MLE unless they amnesty Brandon Roy

screw that, no thanks to full mle for evans.

Full MLE for Reggie Evans? No fucking way. He's vet minimum talent, at best.

Of course, if we had an actual GM, they'd know that.

They wouldn't give a shit where Bynum ends up if the pieces they recieve are part of the larger plan that gets them Howard and CP3.

#Orlando #Magic GM Otis Smith tells @OrlandoSentinel that Dwight Howard has requested a trade

There is one thing he can do as well as Chris Paul:

But other things, not so much:

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
Dwight Howard has requested that the Orlando Magic trade him to the New Jersey Nets, league sources tell Y! Sports.
 
If Howard goes to new jersey, I don't give a shit if lakers get Paul. I am only worried about Howard. Cp3 doesn't make the lakers better imo

But, but, but I thought he was going to la! Its always made sense for him to go to nj. It also probably never had anything to do with the cp3 trade

Give me a break! The first deal ironically gives the lakers 20 mil free, just enough for a Howard type contract. They got no bigs in return, yet they gave away two of them? Please don't tell me you are this naive.
