I agree with you. Of the 2 Paul filled a need. Fisher is old and Steve Blake stinks. But now it feels like they have to go after Howard hard. They share an arena with the Clippers, are the Lakers really going to let the Clippers be the story? I know it feels like a lot Gasol and Bynum, but I feel like Gasol is soft and has always been soft. Your not winning anything with just Gasol. Bynum is just risky with his injury issues. If you can give those guys up for Howard, at least in 5 years or whenever Kobe is done you have the next cornerstone of your franchise. Its just hard for me to believe the Lakers will sit back and let the Clippers get a superstar. If Orlando was strongly considering Howard for Lopez and the pick, then Gasol and Bynum have to be better. Or maybe the Lakers sit chilly. I still think the Clippers gave up way to much and risked there future on making this move happen. If Paul leaves in 2 years, then your going likely lose Blake also. Gordons gone now and that pick is gone. They gave up a ton.

And then there is this

With Odom reportedly due $8.9 million this year and a partially guaranteed $8.2 million next season, the move appeared to be a salary dump and could mark a new era of cost-cutting with Jim Buss running the team owned by his father, Jerry, according to SI.com.


“I think the Buss kids are now running the team, for the most part, and they’re trying to make as much money as they can,” a source told SI.com. “Everything is changing there.”

The reports of Stern's insanity are quieted. I think he just got a better deal for the Hornets than they were getting in first deal. I like it for both sides. At first, I thought LA was giving up too much but after looking deeper, I like it for them. Hate they had to give up the draft pick but like that they got Paul to pick up the option and keep cap space.
