If Dwight signs an extension, looks like the Lakers will move Bynum!

A source confirms that the Los Angeles Lakers are indeed interested in dealing Andrew Bynum for Dwight Howard. It’s a scenario the Lakers have been working on quietly for some time. Both sides have concerns, however, as both Howard and Bynum are going into the final years of their contracts. Neither team wants to move their All-Star center for a player who leaves after one season. HoopsWorld
 
Mavs are going from bad to bloody worse if they can't secure D-Will. They'll lose Terry, Mahinmi, Yi (most likely), and with Kidd wanting to play sheep with Williams, we'll lose his arse too!

Next season = shit, 2013 FA hunt = spending up big time!!!
 
^ EDIT, Looks like we're fucked. lol.

Nash still yet to ink a deal, so Mavs could swoop on him. At least it would give us a scoring option at PG, Kidd's been a bit unreliable last season.

We'll certainly miss his leadership, and hustle!

Rebuild stage for the Mavs then it is!
 
Wondering now if Mavs could (or should) offer Brook Lopez a max deal, as I doubt the Nets could match it, and therefore wouldnt be able to get Dwight....
 
Mark my words the Nets will end up with Dwight one way or another, be it a trade this season or picking him up in FA next season when he's off contract. Its going to come down to the Magic doing the trade or letting him walk as he wont sign an extension with anyone else imo, he's been saying he wants to join Dwill at the Nets since forever.
 
They're desperate right now, no doubt. If Mahinmi walks, they'll have Haywood and B.Wright as their "bigs", unless they can source someone else.

I'd like to see them lay down an offer for JaVale McGee, TBH. Dude is exactly what we need, athletic shot-blocking rebounder! If he can continue his 10ppg (last season -> 11.3ppg, 7.8rpg, 2.2bpg) and continue to fill the needs in the middle, he'd be a great asset. I'm sure Carlisle & Co can up his Bball IQ!!!

Besides, if Lopez has dodgey knees, why would the Magic be looking to trade for him? Why not trade him elsewhere for better assets?!?!

Nets wont be able to afford him next season via FA, they'd need to amnesty someone, unless they make trades.

D-Will - $100m /5yrs
Crash - $40m /4yrs
JJ - $90m /3yrs

That's $65m just for those 3 players next year alone!

Because Dwight won't sign the extension with anyone else and what team would be stupid enough to trade a heap of their assets only to have him leave the following season?

Dwights got the Magic in the doggy style position right now and they know it
 
Duncan won't leave SAS, that's a given. Dude needs to retire there anyways! Done so much for them! It's like someone trying to acquire Dirk, dude needs to retire a Mav.

Let's hope our Rookies are something special, lol!
