The Lions' Pride

If it happens we should get the guy tfrom philly to handle the NCAA for us.

I would wet myself if true...

"There are multiple moving parts in the fluid talks, but the framework of a possible deal includes Howard and Denver forward Al Harrington going to the Lakers, Philadelphia guard Andre Iguodala going to the Nuggets, Los Angeles center Andrew Bynum moving to the 76ers, and Los Angeles forward Pau Gasol and Denver guard Arron Affalo going to the Magic, sources told Yahoo! Sports."

Orlando wants draft picks. Since the Lakers traded for Nash, they couldn't offer their picks (the Magic don't care where they are..they just want picks). I assume that Denver is throwing in picks and possibly some young talent to go back to Orlando. (Jordan Hamilton is one player that makes sense)

Not a Philly fan, but I would not be shocked if the Sixers had to throw a pick or a player(s) in.

If the Sixers are giving up more than Iggy they better be getting more than Bynum in return.

JMO, I followed the previous talks closely (Lakers and Cavs fan)...Orlando is asking a lot for D-12 (numerous draft picks/young cheap assets and salary relief). Here are the problems for the teams involved

1.) the Lakers can't/won't take on a bad salary (they actually would prefer to also shed a bad contract)
2.) Due to the Nash deal, the Lakers have little other than Bynum to offer in the deal (Orlando doesn't want that)
3.) the Magic want to shed a couple bad contracts
4.) the Magic want at least 3 first round picks
5.) Due to NBA rules, since none of the teams have significant cap space (like the Cavs), the salaries exchanged must be approximately the same. ****

**** Correction, the Nuggets have a $13 million trade exception from the Nene deal. Sorry for the mistake, I just remember the Cavs being the big player because they were the only team that could take Bynum's salary (or in the nets deal Humphries)

Also another note, I guess Pau Gasol would be flipped in another future trade.

I love it wish it happens. Give up Iggy and get Bynum doesn't seem real.

I'll believe it when I see it. With all the Howard trade talk for the last... idk... year? it's hard to believe that a trade will ever happen! Crazy trade if true though!

Iggy's trade value is much lower than Bynums. In fact I think last season or the one previous to that the sixers were willing to give up iggy for a cup of coffee.
