Yeah, this was a horrible move for the Lakers.

This is one hell of a trade for LA.
Considering if the Howard deal goes down.
The Lakers havent needed that star PG, because they ran the Triangle Offense.
Now, without the Triangle, they picked up one of the best point guards of this decade, and hes young.
They gave up and old Odom, (who was off the bench last year) and a old Gasol, and they still keep Bynum, who is young.
Now if they can trade Bynum for Howard, the Lakers would be deadly. Great trade IMO.

Yeah, I think it's a great trade in everyone's opinion. Getting the best PG and best C in the league is nice.

Unless we get Howard this is a bad move.

Why does everyone think the Magic will trade Howard for Bynum...I bet every team in the league would make Orlando a more enticing offer than just Bynum...and don't gimme the crap that it's because that's where he wants to play and is willing to sign an extension there, because if that were the case, why even offer Bynum then? They could just offer a 2035 2nd round pick because from Orlando's POV, technically that's better than losing him for nothing.

If that does happen, Laker fans shouldn't even be happy even if they were to win it all. It'd be like the Yankees - just BUYING championships...is BUYING something really ACCOMPLISHING something? It's like the Yankees. All their world series' are all hollow and meaningless. They let other teams develop players and then just take them. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but I think championships mean more when most of the core are guys YOU brought into the league and guys YOU developed. Like the Mavs this year (though a lot of their talent such as JET, Chandler, and Marion used to be on other teams, they were non-superstar talents that DAL legitimately acquired and were able to get more than the sum of the parts out of...also, as for J-Kidd, he WAS brought into the league by them ). Like the Spurs. Like the Bulls of the 90's. Like the Patriots. Like the Steelers. Like the Packers are doing. Like the 49ers of yesteryear (and hopefully now once again). If the Niners traded 7th round picks for Aaron Rodgers and DeMarcus Ware and Darrelle Revis and Calvin Johnson and then won the next 10 super bowls, I wouldn't even be happy. Winning just one with this current squad would mean exponentially more than winning a million with that fairytale squad. Anybody feel me on that?
