because devin harris doesnt have bynum's value anymore. the dude cant even get on the court for 65 games a year.
yeah, but Ron Artest? i just don't see how he'd make sense for the Nets... on a young rebuilding team he's the last guy i'd want my young guys to emulate... Ron Artest has a longterm contract & isn't a veteran leader type to anchor a rebuilding team.
if i were Thorn i wouldn't be interested in any of the Lakers players other than Bynum... Harris & Lopez for Bynum & LA's #1 is more than a fair offer... add John Wall to Bynum & Yi next year along w/the cap space to sign someone like Joe Johnson & another role playing vet like Al Harrington & you got yourself an instant playoff team right off the bat... Lakers would gain an instant upgrade at the PG position & not lose much production if anything at all at the C position in Lopez.
that still doesn't make sense- but it is a good trade.
Why would the Lakers give up on Bynum?
I can see trying to pick up Harris cheap- opportunistic. But not sure that they would want to give up Bynum.
