Opps, I forgot to add *RUMORVILLE*!
Of course this is all rumors or more like a wishlist for next season!
The issues LA needs to address as Magic and Charles Barkley mentioned was speed and the PG position. Fish isn't getting any younger, Blake is a bit inconsistant. You saw the game yesterday, nobody on LA couldn't protect the paint and switch off the pick from Barea, J Kidd or Terry.

The main reason the trade has a chance, is that Paul might force this to happen. Paul wants out of New Orleans, and there may not be a better offer on the table for New Orleans than Gasol. The Lakers might be the favored destination for the talented point guard who has never gone deep into the NBA playoffs.

Howard can and will most likely opt out of last year to test the FA market. Bynum is part of that Top 5 centers. If it does go down, it will definitely be a 3 team trade.
But going back to the link that Andy posted

If find this hard to believe! Move Westbrook?!? Yeah right! If they do decide to move Westbrook, LA better scoop him up!
Now, of those teams, both Minnesota and Oklahoma City have better packages to offer right now. The Thunder could offer Perkins, Westbrook, Harden, Cole Aldrich and a collection of draft picks to the Magic for Howard and that package is better than anything the Lakers have.
You figure if the Thunder get eliminated because Westbrook refuses to share the ball, especially with a guy like Kevin Durant, they might look to move him.
