THIS! 
I feel like Pau for CP3 would have been enough due to the other players going to NO from Houston.

David West is a unrestricted free agent and i'm sure he would love to be CP3 teammate again.

@ an Odom buyout. He will be flipped for assets, book it.

 

[wings90]

 Love it.
Sad to see Odom go too, but I was fine parting with Gasol.

We'll see where Dwight ends up. But if he lands in LA and think it's any different than the Heats situation I don't know what to say about you.

I would love to see the Lakers somehow acquire Dwight Howard

 

[laker4lifeman]

Bill Simmons right now

I am sure Kobe would rather do it all himself that's just who he is..

But I think it is much different....  2 SUPERSTARS AND CHRIS BOSH colluding to be on the same team, and the front office making the right moves to get 2 superstars on the Lakers..

If Dwight ends up in LA you don't think Dwight and CP3 colluded?

Y'all are the SAME ones talking about Lebron has no competitive spirit etc.

THE SAME ONES!

You can't collude a trade that is not your move.. CP3 said "I WANT TO PLAY FOR THE KNICKS" a week ago..

If D12 ends up in LA as apart of a trade it is Orlando realizing they need to deal D12 now before they get nothing for him..

@WojYahooNBA: NBA owners have pushed commissioner David Stern to kill the deal sending Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers, sources tell Y! Sports

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

Very mixed about this trade. Was ecstatic his morning when I only heard Pau for Paul, but when I saw that Odom was included, I was more like 

. Appreciated Odom very much, but basketball is a business and Lakers were smart to trade him after his 6th Man of The Year performance last year.

Can't wait to see what other types of moves Lakers still have under their sleeves, but wow.

Mike Brown era begins....

Ughhhh...How is it the same? You act like Dwight and CP3 could just get up and leave whenever they wanted. It was up to their teams, they weren't in the same situation as Bosh & Lebron. 
Either way, you can say whatever you want about CP3 and Dwight. Kobe DOES have the competitive spirit you're talking about whether or not they come to the Lakers so most of us could care less sine KB24 is our big dog.

[cafinest23]

Lol we've been played.

 

[fourreal]

men but i love cp3 but not lakers

 

[salahuddinxciii]

HUH?

 

[quik1987]

I will hold further comment until everythig is final. Don't want to waste my effort.

 

[ag 47]

Why ore other owners mad? We just traded Gasol/Odom for Chris Paul. In terms of value, that's even. It wasn't Matt Barnes/Ron Artest for Chris Paul. It wasn't Kwame for Gasol

I hope this is nothing.

 

[westcoastsfinest]

We got played.
