Howard napušta Lakerse, Iggy napustio Nuggetse, par Bynum i Philly je katastrofa, a Vučević je još uvijek u Orlandu i skida Shaqove rekorde u skokovima.

Ajmo ponovno razmisliti o blockbusteru prošlog ljeta.

With new head coach Mike D’Antoni implementing his new system the Lakers have been looking for players who can run the ball. Both Pietrus and Bell have experience playing along side Steve Nash, while Bell also has experience under D’Antoni and Pietrus was a former teammate of Dwight Howard in Orlando. 

Both players would help the Lakers bench depth both on offense and defense. Both players are capable of keeping up with the fast paced nature of D’Antoni’s system, capable of playing defense, and are known to be able to hit the open three point shot that will be available to them in this system. Pietrus has a career average of 8.4 ppg and Bell has a career average of 9.9 ppg.

With a full roster, the question remains who would be waived if the Lakers decided to sign either of these free agents. Rookies Darius Johnson-Odom and Robert Sacre are on non-guaranteed contracts and would be likely choices, but Earl Clarke may also be on the chopping block if space were needed.

pa njima je najbolje da tankiraju i budu zadnji

Mislim da bi kombinacija Bynum - Oden bila idealna za poziciju centra Lakersima 
Najgore za sljedeću sezonu, iznad Capa su, nemogu nikog dobrog dovest, Kobe tko zna kada će se vratiti, a opet im nema smisla tankat kada Phoenix ima njihov 1st round pick.
Taj Phoenix bi znači trebao imati 2 visoka picka u jako dobrom draftu sljedeće sezone, mogli bi bez problema napraviti brzi rebuilding.

Što se Houstona tiče, Asik je dobar trade chip (nema niti loš ugovor, 8.33 milja dolara po sezoni za startnog centra), vidjet ćemo što će se sa njime dogoditi, odnosno za šta će ga Rocketsi trejdati (ako to odluče učiniti).
Lina bi se vjerojatno također rado riješili (ima istu plaću, 8.33 milje), samo to će već malo teže ići jer je on play ispodprosječne kvalitete.

Btw. najnoviji rumor, Houston pokušava dovesti i Josha Smitha putem sign and trade deala, nude upravo Asika i Lina Atlanti.
Atlanti bi Asik jako dobro došao jer bi onda Horford mogao igrati svoju prirodnu PF poziciju, no neznam šta će im Lin (vjerojatno će tu još trebati koji pick ubaciti ili tako nešto).
Što se Houstona tiče, kada bi još i Smitha doveli to bi bila strašna momčad, Harden, Parsons, Smith, Dwight, top momčad na Zapadu po kvaliteti prve petorke sigurno.

low blow 

možda da upare Bynum-Tomić... kuglač i balotaš
