No Lloyd said it could happen but there are a lot of things that the teams involved are not on the same page. For example the cavs don't want to give up Tristan or any other young talent, and there are conflicting reports on whether they would include Andy. He said with how much difference between the teams and on top of that the bad contracts that would be involved make this deal unlikely but things can change quickly. He also said and I quote "It only takes one team to change the parameters of the trade to get this thing going".
“@JasonLloydABJ: No, sorry RT @TH_Da_06er: You've been tossing cold water on this Bynum thing for two weeks. Do you think he ends up here?”
Lloyd flat out says the deal won't happen at all. Wojo says deal can happen if Cavs talk to Bynum and his reps/get extension assurances.
Big difference.
I missed the safari today but it seems like nothing has changed; we don't know shit. I keep hoping to come back and see the forum down, check Twitter, and see that we acquired Andrew Bynum.......
David Griffin was on during the Cavs game, he played "dumb" when asked about the Cavs rumors. Said there are lots of fabrications out there. Shared some awkward laughs when Bynum was brought up by the announcers.
When Lloyd says the deal is not going to happen, he doesn't know what's going on in Grant's office or the Lakers front office all the way in L.A., it's just a guess. No one clearly knows what will happen. There was a different destination for Howard every week from different reporters.
And conversely, The Bullshit Whisperer and Woj DO know what's going on in Grant's office or the Lakers front office?
ESPN just said the potential hold-up is Bynum's "unwillingness to sign an extension with the Magic."
