i would like laker acquire a point guard like chris paul. and then don’t sign kobe brayant let him go. if he want to stay then take a pay cut. finally go after lebrom james. what do you think? sound good idea. That’s a deal they should make this trade deadline.

6/14 and 7/14 isnt much of a difference.. On the season he averages 52 percent from the field.. While bein the primary focus of the defense.

Bynum averages 55 percent on the Lakers

His ft’s will go down but hes attempting 9.4 per game (3rd in the league behind Dwight and Carmelo)

At the end of the day this trade probably wont happen. There’s no reason to be fussin over it.

It would be great tho.

He was also 6/14 from the field. Especially for a big guy, that’s terrible. Also he was 6/14. And u assume that he’ll get the same number of touches with the Lakers as the Raptors.

Bynum was 7/14 yesterday without Gasol. That usually dips when Gasol comes back. So, if Bosh’s touches and shots go down, so will his free throws.

And bosh was -17. against the Pacers.

Stealing from Around the Horn: I’d sell this trade.

Bosh attempted 20 ft’s tonight. Any player thats capable of forcing that many fouls would GREATLY help the lakers out. That’s also another laker weakness..

All of you are missing the point. Unless you are talking about a All-Star or Superstar, you have to have a legit point or center. We have the best 2-guard, a top 3 PF, a top 3 center. You guys are forgetting, Drew just came back before the finals last yr. The Lakers are struggling because of injuries. Kobe’s finger. Pau’s hamstrings. Ron’s head. Luke’s back. Let’s put the blame where it is due. Kobe is taking waaaaaay too many shots. He has a broken finger on his SHOOTING HAND!!!! There’s no way that doesn’t affect your shot. They would be better off picking a soft spot in the schedule and allowing him to get some rest. He now has some legit team mates. He should not be taking more shots than Pau and Drew combined!!!! That’s their problem. And mark my words, the taco unit will be better when Luke comes back. The offense flows better when he’s out there.

Sharky, there is no way on God’s green earth that trade is happening . . . EVER. The people of merit you must be talking to must be dreamers who are clearly still asleep.

Cleveland would laugh in our faces if that trade was ever proposed.

Bosh ain’t comin’. That rumor is flimsy.

However, the rumor that’s around which I see as a lot more plausible is LBJ in a sign and trade in the offseason for Bynum, LO + Multiple 1st rounders.

Do a little searching and you’ll find people of merit talking about that one.

I would have thought it crazy, but it honestly seems plausible from every end. Maybe not likely, but plausible.

I disagree Manny, the Lakers have got to the finals two years in a row basically getting nothing from Bynum. If Bosh does leave, I think you would see the Lakers try to get an athletic defensive minded center that stays out of Gasols way.

If you slot Marcus Camby in for Bynum you don’t think the Lakers would be just as effective.

The only way Bosh lands in the Lakers would be if Toronto is willing to take Sasha, Walton and Ammo – and why in the world would they ever do that????

I love Bosh and a Bynum for Bosh trade would be good in theory, but the fact that Bosh will be looking for max money this offseason means that a Bosh for Bynum swap means that Bosh will be a half season Laker leaving the Lakers shopping for a cheap center in the offseason (which won’t happen) and all but guaranteeing that our championship window is this year only.
