Would any of y'all trade Bynum for Anthony Davis straight up? - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

**Luke** · 06-16-2012, 08:51 PM

Just a question I found myself pondering earlier. No rumors or anything, and try to disassociate the cap implications and what not. Just as a prospect going forward, would you swap Bynum for Davis? Why or why not?

**R-Star** · 06-16-2012, 08:53 PM

I would sure as hell hope so.

He may/may not end up being as good as Bynum, I'd bet on it though. And even if he's not, he'll be in team huddles and not stealing handicapped parking spots.

**King Sancho Fantastic** · 06-16-2012, 09:20 PM

I'd seriously consider it . Simply because of Bynum's injury history.

**BlakeJesus** · 06-16-2012, 09:56 PM

I think his athleticism and active defense would actually be a nice changeup for the Lakers, you wonder if there's any way the Hornets would be interested in that at all.

**R-Star** · 06-16-2012, 10:03 PM

Not a chance the Hornets take a straight swap.

**Dre** · 06-16-2012, 10:13 PM

Duh

But the Hornets wouldn't do that

**Jamel Irief** · 06-17-2012, 07:19 AM

No. I would only trade him for current superstars. Not potential Eddie Griffins.

Wilt_The_Stilt · 06-17-2012, 08:23 AM

I agree with Jamel.

If you are going to keep Pau and trade Bynum it signals a win now approach, not a build for the future one.

**Dre** · 06-17-2012, 08:24 AM

FOH with Eddie Griffin

ATLien · 06-17-2012, 09:39 AM

Most people are against Dwight immediately, but Anthony Davis you have to think about?

**Dre** · 06-17-2012, 09:47 AM

Who's against Dwight?

**Luke** · 06-17-2012, 10:16 AM

This thread is supposed to be solely from the Lakers' point of view. In the hypothetical situation the Hornets will accept the offer.

MojoPin · 06-17-2012, 12:49 PM

No, I wouldn't. 1) he's unproven, 2) I think his ceiling is lower than everyone else does.

I see him being a mix between Tyson Chandler and Marcus Camby.

When Dre gets disgusted he gets rude.
