Bynum is Top 20, and after Dwight the next center in any "top" whatever list.
The Lakers traded the second best center in the league for the best center in the league. Not sure how this constitutes as robbery this time around. You want robbery? Go give Philly a call, they swapped Iggy for Bynum

Why didn't the Nuggets try to trade for Howard themselves?
They could have offered some package of Afflalo, McGee and picks and some other players for Howard.
Re: George Karl "I was so angry about the trade...."
The Nuggets biggest problem is the lack of a closer.
Unless Gallo or someone steps up, then they don't really have one.
That's the one thing they miss with Marsh-Melo gone.

Kobe is a great player, but I never saw him as the guy who carried his teams to championship, its usually the other way around and his production just ends up being filler.
