You guys wanna check it out:

It looks like that could be a fair match up, although I believe the Lakers aren't done with trading yet!

Interesting. That article gives the Clippers the edge at 3/5 places and the bench. Lakers wins include Coaching (debatable) and center (highly debatable given Bynums recent brain farts and injury history).

What about Williams? Surely he can't be happy coming off the bench.

Personally I would be happy to see the Lakers get owned by the Clippers, not a Lakers fan in the slightest.

they will probably just waive/ametsy Mo otherwise I dont see any reason for picking billups when bledsoe need playing time to develop.

I stand by my statement of gordon will be a flop, an undersized SG who can shoot, he doesnt have good enough handles and smarts to play point.

Well no way in the world is Griffin better than Gasol yet.

More exciting? For sure. Better? Hell no.

Kobe obviously over whoever plays SG..

Bynum, for all his woes, is far better than Jordan. That's not even debatable yet.

But if you could add either Gasol or Griffin to your BB team right now who would you choose? Would take me a microsecond to decide. MAYBE Gasol is better right now, he certainly was at the start of last season but Griffin has been a very hard worker and a quick learner as well as an incredible athlete and a good guy with 100% upside and potential over Gasol who really was unimpressive in the second half of last season even though I would have rated him in the top 5 big men in the entire league at the start.

Bynum is clearly better than Jordan...when he isn't injured, when he isn't suspended, when he isn't ejected, when he isn't in foul trouble, when he isn't in a funk, yes for that 25% of the season he is a top five center, the other 75% of the time I would again rather have the still improving and super-athletic Jordan.

Both are in my opinion debatable. Want to win a game today I would go Gasol and Bynum. Want to win as many of 66 games this season as you can (and 82 for the the next season) then I would take Griffin and Jordan.

was, yes, still, debatable. Anyone seen a photo of how overweight he reported to camp? I heard he didn't cope the first few days

Griffin still needs to develop a mid range jumper and learn how to defend. Not to mention Gasol has crazy offensive post moves.

Griffin will get there eventually. But analysts saying he's top 10 (ESPN) are flat out wrong, placing him ahead of players like Carmelo and Stoudemire.

I think Gasol being lousy in the 2nd half of the season had a lot to do with the heavy load he had over the start of the season, and also the playoff runs and European Championships he played in.

Bynum should have a standout season this time, he's one of the two back to basket centres left in the league. They're a thing of the past now...
