I was about to post that this trade def ain't going down and this makes no sense

Then I remembered this is the lakers and they from another planet as it pertains to trades.

So as crazy as this sounds, if its the lakers it might be possible, we have seen crazier shyt go down involving them.

You're an idiot.

Rondo is overrated. Who cares if Dwight leaves. You get a legitimate shot at a title this year. Next year if Rondo returns with the team as is, you get nothing but a 8th seed again like they were looking at this year.

Idiot??

Something tells me this is what Ainge wants for Rondo and not the other way around. I think LA will take their chances with Dwight truth be told.

No talks on Dwight Howard-for-Rajon Rondo trade, says Los Angeles Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak - ESPN Los Angeles

Let's be real, this makes no sense for Howard. Rondo is not even that good plus he's coming off of a major injury with no where near the talent of Dwight. LA likes to rape teams, not get raped.

I suggested that Derrick Rose restructured his contract so the bulls could get some difference making talent and the emotional rose groupies said I was trolling and rose "had people to feed".Yet people are suggesting kobe a 5 time champion and 17 year vet restructures his to do the same

That's the difference between fans who want to see a winner and male groupies

Dwight is going to leave this offseason and they'd get nothing for him!

HOUSTON — The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Clippers have been discussing a deal to trade forward Kevin Garnett for guard Eric Bledsoe and center DeAndre Jordan, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
There are differing factions within the Celtics and Clippers on the prudence of the deal, but the two teams have been in regular contact about the possibility, sources said.
Nevertheless, the biggest hurdle could ultimately center on Garnett's willingness to waive his no-trade clause and accept a deal to the Clippers.
Because of his home in Malibu, and a close relationship with Clippers guard Chauncey Billups, there's hope that Garnett, a 15-time All-Star, could be coaxed into accepting a trade if an agreement is reached, sources said.
The Clippers had expressed reluctance to several teams about parting with Bledsoe until they were certain that Chris Paul would re-sign this summer to a long-term deal, sources said. The organization has become increasingly confident that Paul will stay, but every franchise decision is made within the context of how it will impact Paul, and how he feels about.
There's strong sentiment within parts of the organization that Garnett gives the Clippers a chance to compete for a championship this season. Garnett could spread the floor for the Clippers, and open up the lane for Blake Griffin. In the short term, the re-emergence of Billups could cut into Bledsoe's minutes the rest of this season.
For the Celtics, Bledsoe, 23, and Jordan, 24 would give Boston two young players with significant upside to start a revamp of the roster. With Rajon Rondo returning next season from an ACL injury, it's unclear how the Celtics would proceed, but it could ultimately give them a chance to use a healthy Rondo in trade scenarios.

So if this were to go down, the Lakers line-up, when healthy, would be:

Pau at center, Kobe at SF, Nash at SG, Clark at PF and Rondo at PG? Granted no one else gets traded.
