I personally think the Lakers would be better off with Gasol and Bynum now that they have a PG to get them the ball. Especially, if Howard isn't extending.

I was told Pau wouldn't be involved in a deal that landed Howard in LA.

Ugh, I didn't want both of them gone, even though Harrington is not that bad.


NBA trades are still ridiculously stupid. I'm expecting one day to see a 30 team trade.

Jason Richardson/Bynum to Philly
Harkless/Afflalo/Vucevic/3 first rounders to Orlando
Howard to LA (maybe Al Harrington as well)
Iggy to Denver

Pau Gasol is not in the deal.

Shit, sounds good to me :thumb:

And if the Lakers still get Harrington, then it's an absolute steal.

I don't get why the Nuggets would do this. Aaron Afflalo and Al Harrington for Iguodala?

I can't envision a scenario where the Lakers could take back Harrington. It doesn't work salary wise just giving up Bynum.

Harrington would be outstanding for the bench with Jamison, Hill, but can't see it.

And he isn't involved, so you were still wrong.

Wait...what????

Iggy is a phenomenal player. Al Harrington is pretty much a one-dimensional chucker and Afflalo is way overpaid for his skill set.

Iggy is also a great defender.

Lawson, Iggy, Gallo, Faried and McGee is a team that could run for days.

Looks like a done deal. Lakers only give up Bynum to Philly. Great trade for them.

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine

Sources tell ESPN trade also calls for Sixers to get Jason Richardson with Bynum, with Iguodala to Denver & Dwight, obviously, to Lakerland

It's a wrap...

Mitch Kupchak is a GOD...first Nash and now this...

I know he's regarded as a top defender. I just don't think he's worth 2 of the Nuggets top 4 scorers.

Magic overplayed this. That's what they get.
