Oh snap.

Looks like Dwight will be a Laker. Only question is did we keep Pau?

Well, assuming both the Heat and Lakers stay healthy, I can't wait till the finals.

Lakers sweep.

 

[viman96]

As weird as this may sound considering all the Howard drama, this came out of no where. Lakers gave up a lot to bring in Howard.

 

[viman96]

I wonder if the League blocks it?

Sources close to the process told Stein and ESPNLosAngeles.com's Ramona Shelburne that a trade call with the league office has been scheduled for Friday to secure the necessary NBA approval to make the deal official.

I'm confused. I thought Pau was part of the trade and fairly certain he was in the link I posted but it was changed.

nope, Bynum for Howard basically

What a steal for the Lakers if true. Basically acquired Howard for Bynum and a 1st rounder. Wow.

Great deal, I was concerned that Pau was added in too.

 

[Lodeus]

I expect there to be a lot of new Laker fans soon.

I forgot they picked up Nash. They are going to be tough to beat if they stay healthy.

 

[SkinsandTerps]

Ut Oh...

Watch out world... Records might be broken.

I hope this is the end of this mess one way or the other. I think Bynum's immature attitude about returning after the last loss to the Thunder did him in.

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine
If L.A. does not work out for Dwight, says source briefed on his thinking, he knows "Dallas will be there for him." Mavs will have cap space

ESPN source says Dwight definitely NOT doing extension with Lakers. Will test drive Lakerland for season and go to free agency in July 2013
