Hi, my name is PSYCH. I'm a gullible little baby who listens to everything the media says and I enjoy making ludicrous trade scenarios.
LA can make a better offer than New York. Heck they can make a better offer for Paul than Orlando since all their contracts are better and Orlandos only piece is a small, no defense playing PG, who gets a yearly injury as well and has no team option in his deal like both Odom and Bynum to not guarantee their salaries fully. They also have Sasha's TPE, all their picks back again, cash thanks to TWC to absorb a bad deal, and salaries now have to be match at a rate of 150% as opposed to the old 125% so there is much more wiggle room.
As for Dwight, lets be real. The main competition is Jersey who is lining up to pay Nene, a name SF be it Butler or AK who both go to visit them this week, and if you believe ESPN Radio want to welcome VC back for the right price. The Clippers have said today that Eric Gordon will not be moved for either, we all know Blake isn't on the table, and they don't even have their pick. Teams aren't going to take him without him extending and he won't extend just anywhere much like Melo or Paul, their agents get paid too much to not force a deal he wants. And the words didn't come out anybodys mouth but his when he said Kobe got him an LA real estate agent at all star weekend and Kobe was the guy he wanted to play with the most in the league.
I honestly don't think LA can swing both. It is possible (perhaps 1 this season and the other the offseason) and I would not put it past them because that is what they do, they make deals and win to always stay relevant and not fall off, which is why you can count their lotto trips on one hand. I'd take either and be happy, but I would be lying if I said I would not be worried about a Paul deal that sent two bigs out without at least getting Okafor back (Landry and West are FAs).
