Re: Would You Trade Bynum Now For Michael Beasley Or Brook Lopez?
No way. Isn't he younger than both? Either way, his type of center is rare. He makes a huge impact without needing the ball. He is like a poor mans Tim Duncan with his deceptive athleticism and ridiculous height and length. Great hands allows him to catch anything near the basket and he finishes everything. He is a game-changer defensively too.
With Gasol, you need that type of player more than anything. Gasol provides plenty of post game. That's really all Beasley would have over Bynum, is an array of post moves.

Re: Would You Trade Bynum Now For Michael Beasley Or Brook Lopez?
No. Bynum is irreplaceable. People should really look out for him next year. Dude is going to explode. If he can keep healthy though.

Re: Would You Trade Bynum Now For Michael Beasley Or Brook Lopez?
it's possible that the lakers can re-sign drew... but i think kobe, pau, and LO will have to take a paycut. by 2010-2011, if kobe takes 20 a year, pau takes 15, and LO takes 11, then there would be enough room to re-sign drew.

Lopez is going to blow. I want him no where near the team, especially for Bynum.
Beasley would be a tough decision, but I'd still keep Bynum at the end of the day (assuming health isn't an issue)

With Gasol, you need that type of player more than anything. Gasol provides plenty of post game. That's really all Beasley would have over Bynum, is an array of post moves.

Bynum is b. 1987, Beasley 1989, Lopez 1988.
To answer the original question, definitely doesn't make sense for the Lakers. Bynum has the potential to be a 20/10 player for the next ten years if the injury isn't serious, on top of that his length makes him even more special.

Re: Would You Trade Bynum Now For Michael Beasley Or Brook Lopez?
That'd be pretty stupid by the Lakers if they did. Bynum is special, and if he gets back from his injury, he will be a key piece for the Lakers.

Re: Would You Trade Bynum Now For Michael Beasley Or Brook Lopez?
You guys would be crazy to trade Bynum for top 3 pick in the upcoming draft. Bynum has proven that he's a good big man who will only get better. The top guys in this draft may be tempting, but they havent proven anything.

Re: Would You Trade Bynum Now For Michael Beasley Or Brook Lopez?
Sure I will since it now seems like Bynum is going to need to have his leg chopped off

IF it has to happen, i would say make the team take a few of our bad contracts (luke or vladi), and give us one of those young prospects.

Bynum is going to be a restricted free agent. He isn't going anywhere.

Re: Would You Trade Bynum Now For Michael Beasley Or Brook Lopez?
restricted or not, jerry has to be willing to keep him. just because fans want to keep him doesn't mean that the organization would. if they re-sign LO, him, sasha, trevor, and ronny... the lakers would have a payroll of 90 million at LEAST. and let's be generous and assume the cap will be at 70 million... it will end up being a minimum of 110 million that mr. buss has to pay each year.
so if the lakers prove to jerry that they can win it without andrew, he may very well trade him for a rooke prospect (who is signed to a 5 year deal).

Re: Would You Trade Bynum Now For Michael Beasley Or Brook Lopez?
Here is the problem. Bynum's qualifying year aka his restricted free agent year is the same year that Kobe is a Free Agent. So, if the lakers want hope of resigning Kobe, it's going to be because Bynum resigned not because a then 30 year old Lamar Odom is resigned. Buss isn't an idiot.
Trevor's, Sasha's And Turiaf are disposable down the line. Don't expect all (if any signed) long term.
