So no Gasol?
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

Wait so the Lakers got Nash Kobe Gasol and Howard?!
Crap, my friend is going to be insufferable now.Originally Posted by BallSoHard
yea thats what i read on espn. They keep Pau.
WE THE BEST
I seriously cannot imagine Bynum in a Sixers uni. Someone needs to Photoshop and Iguodala in a Nuggets uni, oh lordy lordy

The West got so much stronger.
Yeh it a hard job proving to my Lakers friend that the Hornets will beat the Lakers this season
Contributor
Not that hard. Nash can't guard anyone. Pau is still soft. Howard is a child. And Kobe is Kobe. They'll be good, but Bynum was the better player.
So tired of the Lakers...

Being the GM of the Lakers is the easiest job in the NBA.
Wrong details it's
Lakers get Howard
Sixers get Bynum and Jason Richadson
Magic get Affalo, Harrington, Nikola Vucevic, Moe Harkless 1st rd protected from Lakers, Nuggets and Sixers
Nuggets get Iggy
NO GASOL!!!! Dammit
Poor Magic, didnt even get to shed Hedo's contract.
This how i be like. My son Austin gonna cross up yo point up and my boy Gordon gonna drop 40 on Kobe cause Kobe to old to guard anybody and my son athletic. Then my dude Davis gonna start a block party in yo arena slapping Kobe, Gasol, and Dwight stuff into the stands

It's **** talking anyway. You don't need to be factual. Hell, say Jason Smith will just punch Howard in the nards like he's on the French Olympic team and call it a day.
THIS!! LMAO!!
Nash/Kobe/Gasol/Howard? Wow. Lakers just got nasty.. Again. That sucks.

Because this team isn't poised to win now even with him. At his age he doesn't fit in with the core. This team needs to see what Aminu can do and I'd rather have the cap flexibility next year. I know some of you guys want all stars at every position but it isn't going to happen over night.

Okay it won't happen because stern doesn't own anyone but i would sure like to see one of those "basketball reasons" blocks again.
this is crazy lakers just keep building and building. I'm glad hornets aren't going to be contenders next year but just thinking about Dwight in LA for the next 5 years [potentially if he resigns] is giving me a headache already. I also don't get why a west team would help facilitate this thing, i mean sure dens getting IGGY and becoming a better team but it's like your handing LA more rings..
Great.......................
**** the lakers

So orlando get an average guard in Afflalo, a struggling young player in Vucevic, a past his prime veteran Harrington, a mid lottery pick, and three protected picks from non-lottery teams? + They didnt even get rid of Hedo or Duhon?!?!?! AND they gave up Anderson, aaaaaand they resigned Nelson to a $27 mill deal.... What a great front office. That team is really going places... LOL

It's the Lakers. If players don't get traded there they will just sign with them as free agents, anyway. Doesn't really bother me -- the Lakers are stacking players around Bryant for two or so years before he retires. Who knows what they'll look like when the Hornets potentially transform into contenders at that time (other than the fact they'll have Howard but he's hardly the type of player that can carry a team by himself).
The Hornets have a lot of potential but there are still many questions aside from Davis developing/filling out his frame. Can Rivers be molded into a point guard? Will Eric Gordon be here for the long haul or will he potentially be traded, moving Rivers to the 2, and finding a 1 elsewhere? Will Lopez pan out? Will Anderson get better defensively?

Orlando should be ashamed for what they got in return for Howard. Down right pathetic. Doesn't matter much for us though. In 2-3 years, when we are ready to challenge, Kobe, Nash, and Gasol will all be on their way out of the NBA.
The only good thing about this is that it means a) Miami won't get another ring, and b) OKC won't get a ring.
The only reason it was blocked o's because the NBA owned the hornets. I don't believe the league office has the power to deny a trade that falls within the rules under normal circumstances.

If the league was in the habit of blocking stupid trades where it wasn't a party involved then the Hornets would never have been able to dump Okafor and Ariza on Washington.
