Bynum / Ammo / and Farmar for Chris Bosh

Hey I still think we can get it done with Baby Drew...but man...

Kobe -- SG / F
Gasol -- F/C
Artest F/G
Bosh F/C
Odom -- PG/F

Mcgrady being a free agent can sign outright for some change coming off the bench to back up Kobe...but even without T-MAC the starting 5 is so so DEF...

and for the record trade checker says this is legit:

Due to L.A. Lakers and Toronto being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. L.A. Lakers and Toronto had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

HELL NO

Just say no.

Why?

How is that a trade worth making?

wtf...no.

WOW, a bad trade idea !

Hell no from the Lakers perspective.

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! u retard

It appears most people are disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing but I see no legit reason why not...There's a good possibility Farmar won't be resigned anyway...Ammo is unproven and I can say more likely than not that he won't be back after this season regardless...So basically it ends up being a trade straight up (if you will) Bynum for Bosh...(Bosh at 27ppg) and Basically Bosh wins that battle on offense and defense...he simply does everything better than Bynum...a true bonafide all-star and leader and he's not day to day injury prone like Bynum....

I can just envision Gasol and Bosh in the post together a thing of pure and sheer beauty it would be....


even though times have changed I'm sure Phil still feels this way after his 2005 comment:

"Well ... the players that were franchise-changing players you know re-signed up or re-upped with their organizations. There are some that will be available in the year following that you obviously have to take a look at, and this kid here is one of them. Chris Bosh, obviously everybody's going to be interested in and we think he's become quite a talent." -- Phil Jackson

Why should we trade the best center in the west, and a Top 5 center in the league, who also just turned 22 for a 25/26 year old who isn't even the top player of his position. NO! Drew still has upside. This would be a foolish trade for the Lakers to make. Let's be real here, which tandem do you think teams rather go up against? Pau/Drew or Bosh/Pau? Chis is averaging 27 ppg because he's the number one option. We've seen that Drew can drop 20+ as a number 2! No thanks. We need Drew's big body. As great as Pau has been for us at the center position, I rather him at the PF spot. So no thank you.

^ LOL

nein, no, etc...

that's the kind of rebuttal I like seeing ...thanks....I like Drew don't get me wrong...Drew is a wide body but is he really a tougher cover? Bosh seems to get dismissed because he's in Toronto but he's flat out a smarter and better player than Bynum despite Bynum's upside which should (to be honest) be tempered by his injury proneness (if you will)and lack of BBALL IQ....I'd prefer Gasol and Bosh as it seems it could be a more effective and Consistent Duo over the next 3-4 years...

Wrong forum, wrong idea. Too many "F" in the mix.

Bosh gets dismissed because he's not as great as the guys that came out of the same draft. We have one of the best young centers in the league and LA is not trading. At this point, we need a PG.

ummmmm nah thats ok....

Honestly we would be trading for a better player in Bosh.

But c'mon, who are you trying to convince? It's not like if we all agree that its a good trade it will get done.

[Swearing is not permitted at Clublakers. You must edit this post prior to submitting.] no.

Needed a good laugh this morning thanks OP

Bosh is a younger version of Pau Gasol who is more athletic but slightly less talented. He's not the defensive anchor and physical presence that Drew can be.

NO.
