Great players don't get traded for trade exceptions, regardless of whats planned.

they're freeing money to get a trade exception to absorb hedo

 

[elcheato]

His sources also told him a new deal had been sent to the league, which was clearly false considering they just stopped the talks.

 

[Mexi]

he was right about this

 

[elcheato]

My sources tell me Dwight Howard will not be traded to the Lakers.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Wait for it...wait for it...wait for it...

Fuck you David Stern you inept piece of shit!

Sources close to the situation tell ESPN that Clippers have emerged as "early frontrunner" to acquire CP3 now that Lakers out of running

not over for you yet nola

 

[RipCity32]

We all know Paul will be traded eventually....

 

[jonathanlambert33]

not over for you yet nola

Eh, scraps yay.

Heard the Lakers got cold feet while waiting for a ruling.

Why though? Unless Bynum was involved which we had no indication of you were giving up a controversial PF and a backup for the best PG in the world.

Source confirms that Odom is gone "for sure," and Paul trade has fallen apart. Not for Howard, either. Source: It's a straight salary dump.

 

[Mexi]

fuck stern

what the hell is going on

 

[elcheato]

I thought it was pretty obvious Odom was on his way out regardless of the CP3 trade outcome. There was no going back for him, but didn't expect him to just get dumped.

 

[RipCity32]

To the team that eliminated them either lol.

 

[Mexi]

thats whats most confusing

Yeah, when they traded him the first time around that was it.

 

[elcheato]

Lakers got the Mavs 2012 first, which I guess ain't all that bad.. Stacked draft, could get a good player.

 

[Mexi]

lakers will trade it
they dont do draft picks

 

[elcheato]

Anderson Varejao for the Mavs and Lakers 2012 firsts.

 

[Mexi]

i dont remember the last time the lakers made a 1st round pick
they picked tony douglas, but it was for the knicks. a prearranged deal
