AL had some nice deals in the rumors for them if they make both of them, they would have got:

Williams(number 2 pick), love and Howard

for Bynum, Odom and Gasol

With would be a hack of deal :)

I'm not sure about his contract, but doesn't Love become a free agent after next season?

Yes indeed. He makes a sliver over 3.7 mil this coming season (assuming said season occurs!). It's highly unlikely that he'll be a Wolf beyond that.

Nice ZZ Top reference there :D

back to topic: Love is great offensively, and he's younger than Gasol. That said, he's also a liability on defense. Still, I think he'll fit easily into the triangle offense. Oh, wait...

Phew. Glad someone got it! And I agree that he's a liability on D. I also think that at worst, it's a wash on the offensive side of things. As it stands now - Gasol's the better player. Just Love's younger.

i believe the talks about the "old Lakers" are a bit extreme. sure they would like to get younger as their bench is also a bit old [blake, barnes, odom are 30+]. but we are talking about a team that went so many years deep in the playoffs and that is not something you can avoid. after this season's rest, they could easily play with more energy this year.

they are not 35 years old. Kobe is 33, Pau is 31 next week, Odom 32 in november. I mean come on, remember the Celtics !?!? KG was 32, Pierce 31 and Allen 33 when they won their championship. and two years later were back in the finals , lost it at 7.

And succinctly put. Basically, over the past 3 seasons (prior to the one just gone), LA have played pretty much an EXTRA season.
