Am I the only one that thinks Gasol and Bynum is a better frontcourt than Howard and Scola?

Mark Stein just tweeted that Houston is going after Josh Smith.

But according to "reports", it is either Brooklyn or Dallas for D-Will and I believe that.


lol Yeah, but if Houston has Dwight and has cap space don't you think it's possible his options open up?

Things are fluid.

you don't watch many Lakers games do you?


Bynum - young and talented, but inconsistent and a headcase.
Gasol - aging and super fricking soft to begin with. if he's not feeling it one game, expect him to disappear the 2nd half.

Broussard is on his way to Howard's house to give him a handjob so he can then tell us what "Dwight's camp" is saying

Can anyone tell me where they head the Gasol/Bynum rumor? Very intriguing. This should be an interesting and exciting 24 hrs!

Sources say Houston has an offer of Lowry, the #14 and #16 picks for Tyreke Evans and the #5 pick on the table. Up to Sacramento to decide.

Well now I'm just confused...

Source involved in Houston-Kings talks says the Rockets have not offered the No. 14, No. 16 pick and Kyle Lowry for Tyreke Evans and No. 5.


Sources are confused too!

FWIW There is talk of the picks going to Orlando, Dwight going to LA with Scola, and Bynum and Gasol heading to Houston.



14, 16 and 18 Orlando
Dwight and scola to LA

Bynum and Pau to Houston.

Orlando gets the short end of this deal, but Dwight is leaving next year anyway... so not bad.
in this deal they have 3 first round picks, all outside the lottery zone.
its unlikely they can strike gold more than once with those picks.

It wouldnt be 14, 16, and 18. They are trying to get top 10 picks.

Orlando would not trade away Dwight alone for 3 non-lottery picks

The Kings have needed a real PG for a while, but thats a bad trade for them imo.

I dont think they'd do Evans for Lowry straight up. I know they wouldnt do Lowry for the 5th. So I don't know why throwing in the 14th and 16th would make them give up both Evans and the 5th.

Looks like it'll be two top 10 picks with the rumor of #5 already in the works. Still have 18 and plenty of assets to trade.

EDIT: Who the hell knows?!

yes, they are trying to move up and get the 5th, or the 8th.

do you want the 14th and 18th while giving up the 5th?

the 5th is going to be a PLAYA. the 14th and 18th will just be guys in the league.

They would do Evans for Lowry in a heart beat, and they would be a better team for doing it.
