The Lakers and the Denver Nuggets have had preliminary discussions about a blockbuster trade that would send Carmelo Anthony to Los Angeles, according to league sources. The Lakers' package would be built around Andrew Bynum.

pfff not the lakers 

[IRAN iz Gangsta!]

i'd say get rid of artest and another scrub

[.:DaYg0sTyLz:.]

Obviously there would have to be some other compensation than just Bynum. Melo for Bynum is not even close to an even trade lol. But Denver is going to get desperate. Also, Melo Im sure would need to sign an extension with the Lakers for them to pull the trigger.

Maybe it's a bargaining tool against the Knicks.

Wow this would piss me off, I hate how the Lakers always get regular All-Stars when they only give up trash in return.

On the other hand it would be funny to see how Kobe copes with deferring to Melo's ass.

but why would DENVER do this?  they hate LA

Again, Denver is going to get desperate and just want to get SOMEthing for him. They wont win a championship this year anyways, and Melo is gone at the end of the year.

so trading for overpaid often injured Bynum is the idea??

All they are saying is that they are talking and that Bynum would be the player involved. Doesnt mean the Nuggets are going to do it for sure.

Brousard said a couple of days ago, when this was a rumored rumor, that it would by Bynum & Odom for Melo.

Maybe it'll change.

lol as if Melo is going to have an issue living in LA and playing for a world championship team. He and his family already have a house in LA.

I think they're saying that already has changed, Bynum and Odom combined is way too much extra salary for Denver to take on. Supposedly they're trying to get a third team involved or something

Obviously Bynum injury prone ass is a problem but even if we would trade Melo for Bynum straight up we can say goodbye to the ship ... rebounds and defense win titles ...

Bynum isnt the end-all, be-all of centers. As long as we can get a competent big man in his place (someone at least along the lines of like a Brendan Haywood) to fill in the limited minutes that Bynum was getting the past few years, we'd be good. Bynum barely even fuckin played in the 2009 Finals and we still whooped that ass.
