Let’s Make a Deal, Laker Nation. Would you do it?

I think we did this at some point last year, so why not revive the tradition during the dog days of Summer: Laker fans, would you trade Andrew Bynum for…

I know the Purple & Gold faithful is pumped about the impending Steve Blake era, it really should be electric, but say the Spurs & Lakers decided to make a deal with one another, in which Andrew Bynum would be sent to San Antonio for Tony Parker. Would you pull the trigger? The salaries match, almost to the dollar, but you would be sending away a 23 year old(how is that possible?) center for a 28 year old PG. Yet it’s a 28 yr old PG who would probably be good for 18 pts & 7 assists playing with Kobe & for Phil. Parker is also a tested post-season guard. Plus, you could have his wife Eva Longoria sitting next to Jack every night…

The old saying in the NBA is that you never trade “Bigs” for “Smalls”, but it’s tempting, right? Especially when you consider Bynum has had knee injuries the past two seasons. 

Not interested enough, because you know it would leave you a bit shorthanded in the paint? Okay, you drive a hard bargain. Final offer. Would you do this deal:

• Andrew Bynum & Sasha Vujacic for Tony Parker & Antonio McDyess
