Pau Gasol & Lamar Odom gone for Chris Paul

As a Laker hater, I love it. I think they will really miss those two guys and they are taking away the huge size advantage that they held over teams. Now, their bench is much weaker with the loss of Odom and unless they get Howard, they are putting all of their eggs in the Bynum basket. That's very risky. Paul has not been exactly the picture of health lately either. I think this worsens them.

As a Laker Fan I agree with you. Bynum is a huge risk! I was never a big fan of Gasol. Getting Howard would be huge - but I doubt it.

Need to find out details like the other players coming to LA.

The problem is Gasol never used his size advantage. He's a soft (but extremely talented) player that virtually shut down in the playoffs last year. Agree with you about Bynum, as I think his health is a major liability. But you forget what a hard time the Lakers had in the playoffs with guards doing what they wanted to against them. With Chris Paul, this isn't going to happen.

At 33 year Kobe can't afford an extended re-build plan.

Knicks look like the will be getting Chandler. Pretty good inside lineup with Chandler, Amare and Mellow.

Supposedly the Paul trade has been nixed by the NBA league office
