What are the better packages? Brook Lopez is a gimp and Bynum could fold like a house of cards at any time. Amar'e has had his injury issues but since his last major incident, the eyeball, he has proved durable.

That is what I was saying earlier. It would be between the knicks and Lakers. But I think the Lakers have better pieces

Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum is the trump card. That's better than any other offer could be. Question is - would the Lakers do it. So far, they've been reluctant.

could swear I saw a report today saying they were willing to part with Pau and Bynum.

Orland does not want to lose him for nothing like Shaq but, no way do they move him for a guy with uninsurable knees who, is possibly one knee collision from being a role player. That would be just as bad as getting nothing for Howard. It ain't happening.

The thing I keep thinking about in this type of scenario is this: Kobe, Hedo, Dwight, Artest.... and ?

In 2 years Kobe is 35 and the Lakers are capped out still. What does Dwight look forward to?

Unless they get Deron this summer. Then they have Dwight and Deron after Kobe.

Can't give up Shumpert. This team will actually have no one. Amare/Shump/Melo/Chandler > Melo/Dwight/???Turk

You know who averaged 30 points/game during that 8 game win streak right?

Hahaha. I do. But my entire argument is that Dwight is in that exclusive class of players you blow it up for. He is a tier above guys like Amar'e. So rare and valuable; once a generation.

hmmm...maybe his athletic gifts but his basketball skills are not once in a generation. He doesn't scare me. If I'm going into a series I don't go damn here comes Dwight. He is not on Hakeem, Shaq, Kareem, Wilt level. I even put him below David Robinson/Patrick Ewing Level. To me he is on Alonzo Mourning Level and I'll still put my money on Zo prime vs. Dwight prime one on one. If we are left with a roster of Dwight, Melo and a bunch of average NBA players I have a feeling we would be very disappointed with the results of that team.

ChuckBuck wrote:1 for 1, Dwight is better obviously. That's not a question. But do you break up the best front court in the NBA to slightly improve the Center position and downgrade at PF (TurkeyDoodoo)? Any trades involving Dwight destroys the Knicks strength, their front court...aren't the Knicks supposed to improve their weakness(Backcourt)? It's like upgrading Tom Brady for Aaron Rodgers. Everybody knows Rodgers is the best in the game, but Tom Brady is still pretty dam good! It's the old trading the position of strenth problem, we're already good there.

Great Points. Facing Dwight I'm actually comfortable with Tyson out there facing him one on one. Plus Tyson gets his points doing garbage work. Imagine having to go through 3 quarters of trying to post up Dwight Howard to keep him happy. Then One quarter of Melo Iso's.

Our team once Baron gets back is gonna be dynamic on offense. We already see glimpses.
