The Los Angeles Lakers and Orlando Magic have had preliminary contact about a possible deal for All-Star center Dwight Howard, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

While the Lakers have yet to make a direct offer, there's no scenario where Orlando would move Howard to the Lakers without getting back Andrew Bynum, L.A.'s 24-year-old All-Star center. Pau Gasol wouldn't fit the Magic's desires to rebuild with young players and draft picks.

The Lakers had been willing to part with Bynum for Howard in March, but those talks ended when Howard decided to decline his early termination option and remain under contract through the 2012-13 season.

The Magic reached out to teams Saturday and told them that they’ll discuss proposals about moving Howard, sources said.

I've said this so many times on here that i'm starting to feel like a broken record:

Bynum for Howard straight up the best offer the Magic gonna get.

Deal with it

Bynum's contract is up after next season right? No guarantee he'll re-sign.

Bynum doesn't strike me as the type of guy who cares where he plays as long as he gets paid. I think he, like most young stars, is eager to prove himself as a top flight player. Of course that would most likely change after 2-3 years of disappointing seasons.

This should be the thread title.

Lakers can make the best offer period. But getting Howard......we will still need more pieces.

I went based off the twitter post...

I dunno

[D-Rose]

What's the best offer each team can make? Seems Lakers have Bynum and late first rounders, Nets have Lopez, Brooks, 1st rounders, and Rockets have Lowry, Scola and plenty of young picks and future 1st rounders.

I don't see why the Magic should take anyone but the Rockets deal if they want to truly go into a rebuilding phase.
