Lakers/Mavs/Pacers 3-Way

To Mavericks: Jermaine O'Neal, Lakers 1st (#19)

To Pacers: Devin Harris, Andrew Bynum, Kwame Brown Brian Cook, Mo Evans, DJ Mbenga

To Lakers: Josh Howard, Erick Dampier

Lakers get a great trio in Kobe, J-Ho, and Odom as well as an above average center who can rebound and defend in Dampier.
New Lineup: Farmar or MLE/Kobe/Howard/Odom/Dampier


Pacers get two very good young pieces to help kickoff their rebuilding in Bynum and Harris and also shed some salary.
New Lineup: Harris/Williams/Granger/Ike/Bynum


Mavs get an All-Star big man who can defend, rebound, and score to pair up with Dirk, as well as a decent draft pick, which would be best used packaged with someone to pick up a solid SF.
New Lineup: Terry/Stackhouse/TRADE/Dirk/JO

The Pacers are getting way too much. Send Harris over here. We'll have to check salaries and all that junk, but this is make-believe, anyway.

It's basically Harris and Bynum - two good prospects but neither has proven to be anything special - and some salary relief for an All-Star PF. Seems fair to me.

Lakers are getting an All-Star SF and a center upgrade for Bynum, a 1st, Kwames expiring, and a bunch of small contract players.

I actually thought Dallas took the worst of it, looking at it straight up JO & #19 for Howard and Harris it looked ok, but the Mavs arent quite as talented as I thought, seeing as how they'd have no SF to fallback on. Pacers could throw something Dallas' way, maybe Shawne Williams (#17 last year)

I think the problem is how we view Kwame. I see him as nothing more than a good expiring contract. I mean, sure his post D is good, but his rebounding and offense are pretty bad. He's like a younger Jason Collins - ok role player, but the type of player who can be had for half the MLE in any given offseason.

And Howard is suppose to be the player we get for Bynum and Odom?

Odom wasn't in the deal.

It's basically Bynum, Kwame, 1st, Scrubs for Josh Howard (All-Star SF) and Erick Dampier (above average center).
