IMO Lopez isn't much of a downgrade from Bynum. Plus they have enough cap room to take on Turkoglu.

According to WoJo there are a couple reasons he wants NJ:

1. Good freinds with Williams

2. Wants to be the centerpiece in Brooklyn

3. Doesn't want to follow Shaq's footsteps from Orlando to LA

He probably would sign an extension with LA if he is traded there, so it really comes down to who can put together the best package.

Points 2 and 3 make the most sense. Laker fans wont say it, but Dwight going to LA makes him a "sidekick" to an aging star. He will not be the star of the show playing alongside Kobe. He'd be looked at as a herb jumping on the Lakers wagon to win a title. Something he's been bashing Shaq for doing for quite awhile now. In BK he'd be the man CLEARLY on a franchise in the biggest market that hasnt won anything since the ABA.

I think Bynum is better too, but when you consider his injury history I don't know if I would want to build a franchise around him. I saw earlier LA was trying to put together a deal to add a first round pick to the NO trade.

If the CP trade gets done, I don't see how LA can put together a better deal than Lopez and 2 #1's. You never can tell in the NBA though, I just don't see LA being able to pull off both trades.

He may just end up staying in Orlando.

Hey! Lebrick could have done that in Cleveland.

Wait

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
