- Thread starter Duck Rodgers
- Start date

Reread the post. First I was talking from Memphis POV and secondly did not say it was a great trade, but if you look at it objectively it is not nearly as bad in hindsight. I dont know i think ZBo + MGasol is greater than M Gasol by himself. ZBo finally has grown up. Had an excellent year. Numbers wise nearly as good as Pau.

Why would LA need to pull off some trade?
Won't they just be able to sign Dwight Howard?
I have a hard time believing that Howard wants to stay in Orlando after being destroyed by the freakin Hawks this year. SVG is gone, for sure. But Dwight will soon pull a Shaq...
At a time where big name FA are joining forces, nothing would counter Miami's big 3 than Dwight moving to LA. Kobe, Gasol, and Howard.

Dang, I just wish David Stern liked Utah! And wouldn't that be the greatest thing since the Lg Optimus 2, if Memphis beat the Spurs? And the Lakers don't have any assets, who wants Kobe in 3 years? Ron Artest? Andrew Bynum? Odom? Gasol is the only exception & in 3 years, um NO Thanks. Just excited thats all. Plus, who on the Lakers is younger then 28 with good Knees
There only build for now. And their best players, have no trade clauses. Brighter future=Utah Jazz!!!They won't have money for Howard, nor the assets to trade for him! This is what I hope happens;
Howard gets traded to NJ for Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries(once resigned), Morrows, and 2 picks. Dwill then signs a 5 year max deal, thinking it's going to be him and Howard for the next 5 years. NJ misses the playoffs. Howard opts not to sign a new contract and Dwill is stuck in NJ with no hope in sight

That's what I am wondering. Do you want a max pg? Who are max pg's now? Deron, Paul, anyone else? Do you want to tie that much money up in a position that isn't that valuable? It would be like paying a RB in football. Is Deron worth 16 million a year, when you can have Harris at 12 million and keep Korver? It takes depth and talent to win a title, and does tying up max money in a pg keep you from that? That is just what I am wondering. Is a pg worth max money? Would you win more with a solid pg, solid sf, and really good sg? I dunno. I don't envy KOC this year.

Try it this way: If the problem is a PG will be WORTH the max if 4 years, you don't have a problem.

You don't think the Magic would take Bynum, Artest or Odom and a 1st round pick for Howard and fillers?
I definitely like the idea of drafting Terrence Jones at #6, so I decided to take a look at the comparison of Lamar Odom coming out of college.
Lamar Odom
Rhode Island
SF/PF
Odom is projected as a small forward, but can also play both guard spots. Left Rhode Island after his sophomore year, in which he averaged 17.6 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game. There has been some question of his work ethics, at 6-9 and 230 lbs, if you look at all the guys in the draft, he's a guy that can help his teammates get open shots and looks. Odom can get into the post and score over players. If he's double-teamed, he can find the open man on the perimeter, also Odom can help you bring the ball up the floor.
Terrence Jones
Kentucky
SF/PF
Jones makes prudent decisions passing out of double teams, possessing a multi-faceted set of skills. Sometimes he is forced into the post out of necessity for UK, regardless Jones has done an admirable job playing out of his comfort zone. Displays good patience down low, with surprisingly good footwork and ability to finish over either shoulder. Despite being 6-9 and weighing 244 lbs, Jones has instant fast break potential with his ability to handle and push the rock in transition. Averaging 15.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, and 1.5 assists per game as a freshman.
